Takeaways from Maryland football’s season-opening win over UConn

Maryland football opened its season Saturday with a convincing 50-7 win over UConn.

The Terps dominated on both sides of the ball. The offense, led by Billy Edwards Jr., posted 629 total yards — 381 passing and 248 rushing — and did not turn the ball over. Meanwhile, UConn struggled to earn first downs for most of the day. While Maryland certainly was not flawless, it was a promising start to the season.
