ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Maryland football had a chance to emerge on the national scene and earn a program-defining win against No. 4 Michigan on Saturday afternoon. In its previous six contents against the Wolverines, Michigan had outscored Maryland by 202 points.
This game, however, was not one of the lopsided Maryland losses of previous meetings as the Terps trailed by just one score with six and a half minutes remaining.
Maryland was marching down the field looking for a touchdown and a two-point conversion, hoping it could tie the game and potentially pull off a historic upset.
