The Syracuse Orange came into College Park, Md. today ranked and hoping to get to 2-0 before a big visit from the top-ranked Clemson Tigers. Instead, they’ll leave 1-1 and licking some wounds following a 63-20 shellacking at the hands of the Maryland Terrapins.
Maryland jumped out to a 14-0 lead start early, before SU trimmed the lead to seven points. The Terps were off and running from there, however, extending the advantage to 29 by halftime at 42-13. Things settled down in the second half, as each team put up just seven in the third quarter.
