5 takeaways from Maryland football’s dominant win over Illinois

A week after getting shutout by Iowa, Maryland football ran up 712 yards of offense in a 63-33 shellacking of Illinois in College Park. It’s the most points Maryland has scored since joining the Big Ten, and its most since yards since at least 1982, according to the team (its highest total was 802 against Virginia in 1975).

It’s hard to come away with too much when the Illini were so bad defensively, but here’s what stood out.

Leake came into this game with just four touches on the season. He finished the game with four touchdowns.
