West Virginia passed and ran its way to an easy 45-6 victory over Maryland this afternoon at Milan Puskar Stadium.
Quarterback Skyler Howard completed 21 of 33 passes for 294 yards and four touchdowns, and Wendell Smallwood carried the ball 22 times for a career-high 147 yards and a TD for the Mountaineers, now 3-0 on the season.
Today’s 39-point win over the Terrapins is the widest margin of victory ever for West Virginia in the 52-game series, which dates back to 1919, and fourth-most by either team. Three times - in 1949, 1950 and 1951 - the Terps defeated the Mountaineers by 40 points or more.
