In reflecting on how the Maryland football team had fallen woefully short of its expectations over the first half of this season, senior wide receiver Tai Felton drew a comparison to his sophomore year, when he contributed via special teams in addition to being a top reserve on offense.
It did not go well for Felton during his initial foray returning kickoffs, when a fumble overshadowed his three returns for 105 yards. In the next game, Felton had the ball bounce off his face mask while attempting to field a kickoff, leaving his confidence even more shaken.
But Felton recalled gathering himself after that uneven stretch and refocusing on fundamentals, leading to a promising finish to the season.
