Maryland football’s win over Texas was fun, emotional and exciting for fans of a team that languished through a scandal-filled offseason that’s now poured into Week 3 of the regular season. The Terps’ win over Bowling Green included much less of all of those things, but it did include one thing Maryland was missing in its season debut: a fearsome rushing attack.
After Texas held Maryland to 3.1 yards per rush, the Terps ERUPTED for 8.4 against Bowling Green.
Texas bottled up the Terps nicely, which was to be somewhat expected. The Longhorns have much to figure out as a team and as a program, as evidenced partly by losing both rounds of their home-and-home against Maryland, but run defense might be the thing they’re best at right now.
