Overview

• True freshman Malik Washington went 16-of-22 for 261 yards with a touchdown pass and a rushing score, and he threw the first interception of his college career.
• La'khi Roland returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown, Maryland's first of that length since Tom Brown in 1962.
• Maryland scored on all six first-half possessions to lead 34-0 at halftime, then lifted starters as backups Khristian Martin and Roman Jensen saw late snaps.
• The defense controlled the game early, allowing 172 total yards through three quarters and just 51 rushing yards, before Towson added late scores including an 84-yard TD.
• Washington has 773 passing yards through three games, the most by a power-conference true freshman since 2018, as lingering run-game efficiency questions loom for the trip to Wisconsin.
