Maryland Rolls Wisconsin 27-10 as Freshman QB Shines in Big Ten Debut

Six sacks plus two blocked kicks powered a decisive road win.

Overview

  • True freshman Malik Washington went 18-of-34 for 265 yards, threw two touchdowns to Shaleak Knotts, and added a 1-yard rushing score in his Big Ten debut.
  • Maryland’s defense logged six sacks and the special teams unit blocked a field goal and a punt, helping stake a 20-0 halftime lead.
  • Shaleak Knotts totaled three catches for 80 yards, including a 62-yard touchdown to cap a 99-yard drive, while Octavian Smith Jr. had six receptions for 113 yards.
  • The Terps moved to 4-0 (1-0 Big Ten), have outscored opponents 130-36, and already matched last season’s win total.
  • Wisconsin fell to 2-2 with quarterback uncertainty as Billy Edwards Jr. started but limped off, Danny O’Neil went 14-of-22 with an interception, fans chanted “Fire Fickell,” and a youthful offensive line and RB Dilin Jones’ injury compounded struggles.
