Maryland football faced a crushing 48-23 defeat against Minnesota, with the Golden Gophers dominating the game from start to finish. Quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. struggled, setting new season-lows in passing yards and completions before being benched for backup MJ Morris in the fourth quarter. Despite some strong plays from receiver Tai Felton, the Terps could not overcome Minnesota’s offense.
The Terps’ defense also struggled, with a lack of depth in the secondary leading to Minnesota’s quarterback Max Brosmer having his best game of the season. Maryland’s momentum took a hit after a recent upset victory over USC, showing inconsistency in their performance.
Morris, who replaced Edwards, showed promise with his solid performance, raising questions about the quarterback position moving forward. Despite the loss, Coach Michael Locksley remains focused on the need for improvement and consistency in the team’s play.
The Terps head into their second bye week with a 4-4 record, reflecting on a disappointing game and looking to regroup for the remainder of the season. With their ups and downs, Maryland football will need to address their weaknesses and build on their strengths to finish the season on a positive note.
