Communication is key for Maryland football’s secondary

With then-No. 21 Syracuse in a 14-0 hole last Saturday, quarterback Tommy DeVito had his team driving to cut the deficit and ensure that the game wasn’t going to get out-of-hand.

On second-and-6 at Maryland’s 38-yard line, DeVito took the snap with three receivers to his right, two on his left and an empty backfield. With Maryland linebacker Chance Campbell closing in on him, the redshirt sophomore threw a pass off of his back foot that fell into a 16-yard gap between Maryland defensive backs Antoine Brooks Jr. and Jordan Mosely to wide receiver Taj Harris for a 29-yard completion.
