Strong red-zone defense and more takeaways from Maryland football’s 37-16 victory over Kent State

Maryland football’s 37-16 victory over Kent State on Saturday afternoon featured another strong performance from junior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa.

Tagovailoa had 384 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, and through four games has proven to be among the top quarterbacks in the country with 10 touchdown passes and the one pick. His 1,340 passing yards are the fifth-most in the country among quarterbacks who have played four games, and his 75.5% completion rate ranks second in Division I. He also ranks in the top 10 nationally in passing yards per game (335) and total offense (343.2).

Tagovailoa, the brother of Miami Dolphins quarterback and former Alabama star Tua Tagovailoa, also spread the ball around effectively with 12 different players tallying a catch.
