With the first game jitters out of the way, Big Ten teams were looking to build on their performance from the opening weekend of the college football season.
Maryland football traveled south for a Saturday afternoon matchup with the Charlotte 49ers. The Terps rode star junior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa’s right arm to a decisive 56-21 victory. The signal caller dismantled the 49ers’ defense, going 27-for-31 for 391 yards and five total touchdowns.
Tagovailoa found four different receivers for scores, with graduate wide receiver Jacob Copeland finding the end zone twice for the first time in a Maryland uniform.
