It was reasonable to think that Sean Clifford would be tested in his first road game as starting quarterback. Coming off a week three victory against Pitt, Clifford was often battered by the Panthers defense as they forced him to misfire on several throws throughout the afternoon. Maryland came into the game averaging four sacks per contest, and would assuredly work to get in Clifford’s face and force him out of rhythm. However, the Terps never found a way to rattle Clifford as he offered a pitch-perfect performance to led the way to a 59-0 explosion that sent a statement to the rest of the Big Ten.
