Three takeaways from Maryland football’s loss to No. 12 Indiana

After missing two consecutive games due to a coronavirus outbreak within the team, Maryland football got back on the gridiron to face No. 12 Indiana Saturday.

Despite the layoff and being down 23 players, the Terps kept it close through the first half as it entered the break down by just a 7-3 margin, but a lack of offensive execution kept them from getting back into the game, eventually suffering a 27-11 loss.

Here are my three biggest takeaways from the defeat.

The Maryland secondary impressed

The Terps entered Saturday’s contest without their arguably two best defensive backs in safety Nick Cross and cornerback Tarheeb Still, giving the secondary even more of a challenge against a high-powered Indiana offense.
