In a primetime Friday night matchup against the No. 5 team in the country, Maryland got annihilated, 51-14.
After the first quarter, Maryland seemed like it would compete with the third-best scoring defense in the country in Iowa as the Terps led 7-3 in front of a filled, and energetic crowd at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium.
The second quarter went off the rails quickly as wide receiver Dontay Demus Jr. fumbled on a punt return that set Iowa up for prime field position. Not only was there a fumble on the play, but Demus’ leg was twisted and he had to be carted off the field.
