College Park, Md. — We have a game upon us.
In his offense’s opening drive, Luke Altmyer fired downfield and completed a 44-yard touchdown pass to Pat Bryant.
Laughery was benched vs Purdue for his inability to pick up the blitz. He was able to block better vs Nebraska and here he picks it up so Altmyer has time to hit Pat Bryant for a touchdown. pic.twitter.com/4I0YddXem7
