Looking to ice a road win over Indiana, Billy Edwards Jr. pulled back the handoff to redshirt freshman running back Roman Hemby and scooted up the middle for a 3-yard touchdown.
Maryland star quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa was carted off with a knee injury at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the redshirt freshman and Wake Forest transfer came in to relieve him. Though he didn’t complete any of his three passes, Edwards managed the game well and showed the flashes and charisma that it takes to compete in college football.
Tagovailoa’s injury was a reaggravation of a previous injury that he suffered in week four against Michigan — a sprained MCL.
