Michael Locksley has been at Maryland long enough to know that his Terrapins have to earn everything. The transfer portal along with name, image and likeness deals have only made the challenge tougher. Billy Edwards Jr. ran for a touchdown and threw for a score as Maryland routed Auburn 31-13 Saturday at the Music City Bowl winning a program-record third straight bowl.
The all-conference tight end represents Maryland’s most notable loss so far this offseason.
On the first play from scrimmage, Taulia Tagovailoa found an open Jeshaun Jones for a 62-yard gain, and Maryland was off and running. Tagovailoa threw for 352 yards and accounted for all six Maryland touchdowns, leading the Terrapins to a 44-17 rout of Indiana on Saturday and their first 5-0 start since 2001. Tai Felton caught seven passes for 134 yards and three first-half TDs for the Terrapins, who are 2-0 in Big Ten play for the first time since joining the league before the 2014 season.
Maryland three scored touchdowns on three of its first four drives, Taulia Tagovailoa set a career high with five touchdown passes --three of them to Tai Felton-- and the Terrapins stepped on the gas early and sped away from Indiana 44-17.
