Roman Hemby was clobbered in the backfield. Maryland broke through Indiana’s offensive line on third down for a five-yard loss.
The Terrapins had the Hoosiers off balance early. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza threw an interception on the game’s third play and Indiana finished its first two drives with negative yardage.
Then, after the defense forced a punt, the run game came alive. The Hoosiers marched 93 yards for a touchdown, gaining 58 on the ground to take the lead. That drive sparked a dominant rushing performance.
Behind the tandem of Hemby and Kaelon Black, Indiana piled up a season-high 367 rushing yards and four touchdowns in a 55–10 rout of Maryland on Saturday afternoon.
