Big plays, red zone defense key in Maryland football’s win over Minnesota

Maryland football scored six touchdowns on Saturday without entering the red zone once.

The Terps had scores of 26, 81, 54, 64 and 21 yards on offense in addition to a 36-yard pick-six. For everything that didn’t go right last week, everything seemed to click for Maryland against Minnesota.

On the defensive side of the ball, third-down defense and stingy red zone play kept Minnesota out of the end zone and kept the score tilted in Maryland’s favor. The Golden Gophers entered the red zone four times, but only scored twice: once on a 33-yard field goal and once on a 17-yard pass.
