Following its 40-point opening day defeat at the hands of Northwestern, a sullen Maryland football team left the field in Evanston, Illinois and began to prepare for the trip home.
The Terps touched down in College Park just after 3:30 a.m. and several members of the coaching staff opted to sleep overnight in their respective offices, with preparations for an upcoming contest against Minnesota set to begin less than 10 hours later.
The team needed a strong response to Saturday night’s humiliating loss, and Taulia Tagovailoa wasted no time getting back to work, coming into the facility before any other players Sunday morning.
