COLLEGE PARK, Md. — One of the keys to No. 15 Michigan football's 38-7 win at Maryland were big plays.

It was big reason why Michigan won by 31 points despite totaling just 331 yards.

There was a 97-yard touchdown on the opening kickoff.

A red-zone interception.

A fake punt.

A 51-yard pass play.

The Wolverines made enough swing plays to cruise to an easy victory against an overmatched team.
