As college football wrestles with pandemic, Maryland looks forward to second chance at fall season

Maryland junior defensive back Tahj Capehart acknowledged that in the weeks after the Big Ten Conference’s Aug. 11 decision to postpone its football season, he was a bit disheartened watching other leagues start to play.

But this past weekend felt a little better, as he watched his peers knowing that his own season is slowly approaching.

“It’s definitely exciting to know that a few weeks away, we’re going to be on the big screen as well,” Capehart said Wednesday on a video conference call.

This has been the emotional tug-of-war for a Maryland team that saw its season stripped away after one summer practice, only for it to be returned 36 days later.
