And PI on MD.

NW TD with 3:34 left.

NW makes the xp to tie the game.

Hemby! 75 yards! TD Maryland

[BSLChrisStoner]

Unsportsmanlike called on MD after the TD.

15 yards on the kickoff.

[Greg Pappas]

That call for unsportsmanlike conduct is ridiculous.  He didn't taunt the opponent, he just celebrated by doing a cartwheel!  That's just so against the spirit of the rule.  Awful.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Pick!!

[Greg Pappas]

Whew!  Needed that win.  Edwards is a viable backup... which is sorely needed.  He'll need to improve his passing, but he's not a slouch.

Without seeing the game, was the fact they almost lost to a 1-6 team because Taulia was out?

No. Edwards was pretty damn good IMO. The Oline forgot how to block, coaches weren’t at all prepared in the first half. Got it together in the 2nd half. Good win. Edwards is a very solid option.

That, and the defense wasn't all that great against a NW offense that is pretty terrible. They could not get off the field on 3rd down (NW converted 9 of 14) and once again the secondary had plenty of PI calls that handed them easy yards. But they did get two key interceptions....the one on the first possession of the 2nd half was really huge, and really seemed to swing the momentum.

Edwards got better as the game went on. He missed some open receivers badly early on, especially that overthrow (I think it was to Felton) that should have been a TD.

They didn’t run him on option plays enough early on. That seems to really help him get into a rhythm.

The bye week can’t come at a more perfect time. Get healthy on both sides of the ball heading into November. 8 wins should be the expectation.

RB Roman Hemby has been named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for his efforts in this game. He carried the ball 24 times for 179 yards and 3 TDs.

Just a reminder that he was ranked as the #130 RB in the country out of high school and Maryland’s second-lowest ranked recruit in their 2021 class. Kudos to Elijah Brooks for scouting him and getting him to College Park.

Keep him! I am scared of the transfer portal for breakout stars like this. What a find. He’s a ton of fun to watch.

Thanks for the recruiting context, good to know. He certainly wasn’t on my radar, at all, coming into the year.
