On a cloudy — and later rainy — Saturday afternoon, Maryland football came away with a solid 27-13 win over Michigan State to move to 4-1 overall and improve its Big Ten record to 1-1.
Michigan State fell to 2-3 on the season and 0-2 in the conference, a sharp downturn from last year’s success. Still, it was a landmark win for the Terps, who hadn’t beaten the Spartans since 2016.
The game started with three touchdowns in quick succession, looking like it was going to be a high-scoring affair, but quickly devolved into a slower-paced game that saw the Terps slowly but surely pull away.
