Overview

  • Jonah Coleman punched in the go-ahead 1-yard score with 3:21 left to finish an 80-yard drive after Washington had trailed 20-0 early in the third quarter.
  • Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. ignited the surge with touchdown passes to Denzel Boston from 3 yards and Dezmen Roebuck from 34 following a 16-play field-goal drive.
  • Maryland, unbeaten entering the day and yet to trail this season, went three-and-out on back-to-back possessions and later turned it over on downs after a late drop.
  • True freshman Malik Washington supplied the Terps’ early cushion with a 4-yard rushing touchdown and a 2-yard scoring pass to AJ Szymanski.
  • Washington improved to 4-1 (1-1 Big Ten) despite missing starters Carver Willis, Zach Durfee and Tacario Davis as reported pregame, while Maryland slipped to 4-1 (1-1).
