Billy Edwards Jr. threw two touchdown passes to Tai Felton, and Maryland's defense was as good as advertised in a 50-7 victory over UConn in a season opener on Saturday. The big question facing the Terrapins this season is how they'll do without Taulia T agovailoa, who brought them some rare stability at quarterback for the last four years. Edwards, who guided Maryland to a win over Auburn in the Music City Bowl last season, started the game and completed his first seven passes. He went 20 of 27 for 311 yards and two TDs. Felton caught seven passes for 178 yards, scoring on strikes of 18 and 75 yards from Edwards.NC State transfer MJ Morris also played a bit at quarterback, although he was shaken up in the fourth quarter. Then Cameron Edge came o n and threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Josiah McLaurin. Nolan Ray scored on a 48-yard touchdown run in the first quarter that made it 14-0, and Roman Hemby scored from 4 yards out in the third. DeJuan Williams capped the scoring with a 9-yard run with 1 :17 remaining in the game. The Terps' defense has steadily improved over the past few years, and UConn didn't score until it was 30-0 late in the third quarter. Joe Fagnano found TJ Sheffield for a 27-yard touchdown. - AP College Football
