There’s a first time for everything. The Northwestern Wildcats’ (3-3, 1-2 B1G) inaugural trip to College Park in Big Ten play ended in victory as they powered by the Maryland Terrapins (3-3, 1-2 B1G) 37-21.
For once, almost everything went right for the Wildcats. The Wildcats’ offense finally showed up, tallying 532 total yards against a porous Maryland defense. Justin Jackson finally passed Damien Anderson on the all-time career rushing yards leaderboard in the first quarter, ending the game with 171 yards and two touchdowns. Northwestern was able to make key stops on defense throughout the game and its coverage held up when it mattered.
