A bust in Bloomington for rusty, short-handed Terps football team

BLOOMINGTON, IND. — Maryland’s football team, sidelined for three weeks by a coronavirus outbreak, showed its rust early and never got its offense going in a 27-11 loss to 12th-ranked Indiana on Saturday.

The Terps (2-2) opened the Big Ten matchup with a 12-play drive that came up empty after a missed field goal and then missed another scoring opportunity on its next drive on an overthrow in the end zone.

Maryland was kept out of the end zone until 3:34 left when quarterback Tualia Tagovailoa connected with Dontay Demus Jr. on a 43-yard scoring pass. The duo then hooked up again for the 2-point conversion.
