The Buffalo Bulls (0-1) traveled down the Atlantic seaboard to take on the Big Ten’s Maryland Terrapins (1-0) on Saturday afternoon, ultimately struggling to stop the big plays— or create them— in a 31-10 loss in College Park, Maryland.
The tone of the game was set early, as the Terrapins stopped Ron Cook’s first two attempts of the day, before bringing the house down on Buffalo’s debutante QB Cole Snyder to force a three-and-out.
Maryland made them pay just a few plays later, with Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa connecting on passes of 25 yards and 14 yards to start the drive before running back Roman Hembry broke out for a 33-yard touchdown run to cap the first Terps effort and put them up 7-0 with 12:44 to go in the first quarter.
