10/15/22 - Billy Edwards Jr., rJr/2026, Maryland + More +

Following an injury to Taulia Tagovailoa in the fourth quarter, Billy Edwards Jr. stepped in and led a game-winning drive to lift Maryland past Indiana 38-33 on Saturday. After getting hit as he threw a pass, Tagovailoa was carted off the field with an apparent knee injury with just over 14 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Tagovailoa had been the Terrapins' main source of offense, throwing for 270 yards with two touchdowns and running for another score.

In his place, Edwards entered the game with Maryland down 27-24 and immediately started making plays, scrambling for 10 yards on his first touch of the day. Although the initial drive ended in a punt, Maryland quickly got the ball back after forcing an Indiana punt. A 31-yard run by Edwards got Maryland inside the Indiana 5-yard line and two plays later, Roman Hemby punched in the go-ahead score with just over five minutes left on the clock. On the ensuing Indiana possession, Connor Bazelak completed a short pass to Coby Andison but he was quickly met by Fa'Najae Gotay who forced a fumble that was recovered by Maryland. The Terrapins added an insurance touchdown when Edwards ran it in himself from 3 yards out. Edwards finished with no completions on three attempts but ran the ball five times for 53 yards and a touchdown. - Maryland/AP College Football

10/01/22 - Taulia Tagovailoa, rSr/2024, Maryland + More +

Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa had a lot on his mind this week. That was only natural after his brother Tua was stretchered off with a head injury while playing for the Miami Dolphins. "They're really, really close," Terrapins coach Michael Locksley said. "I think the one thing that was able to settle him down, was he was finally able to get a FaceTime with Tua, and Tua basically said, "Hey, I'm fine man. Go play." Taulia Tagovailoa threw for 314 yards and a touchdown, and Maryland handed Michigan State its third consecutive loss, 27-13 on Saturday.

The Terrapins (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, and the Maryland defense was solid as the Terps passed their first test in what feels like an important October for the program. Payton Thorne threw for 221 yards and a touchdown, but the Spartans (2-3, 0-2) went scoreless in the second half against a Maryland defense that still has a lot to prove. Michigan State also had problems on special teams, missing a field goal, having another one blocked and botching an extra point because of a bad snap. Tagovailoa went 32 of 41 and moved ahead of Boomer Esiason for third place on Maryland's career list in yards passing. "I'll take my hat off to that kid," Locksley said. "You guys have no idea what the last 24 to 48 hours have been like for him." - Maryland/AP College Football

09/17/22 - Taulia Tagovailoa, rSr/2024, Maryland + More +

Taulia Tagovailoa threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Corey Dyches with 7:30 remaining, and Maryland held on for a 34-27 victory over SMU on Saturday night. Roman Hemby ran for 151 yards and a touchdown for the Terrapins, who overcame 15 penalties to win this matchup of flawed-but-unbeaten teams. The Mustangs (2-1) had three of the game's five turnovers, and they lost the ball on downs at the Maryland 9 when Tanner Mordecai's fourth-down pass to the end zone sailed high with 2:31 remaining. SMU got the ball back one more time but turned it over on downs again near midfield with 46 seconds left. Maryland trailed 20-17 at halftime, and the Terrapins (3-0) wasted an opportunity early in the third quarter after driving to the SMU 6. A touchdown pass from Tagovailoa to Jeshaun Jones was wiped out by a holding penalty, and Jones was also called for unsportsmanlike conduct, putting Maryland in a third-and-goal situation back at the 31.

The Terps did manage a field goal to tie the game, but on SMU's next drive, they were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, roughing the passer and pass interference. A fumble by Mordecai inside the Maryland 5 ended that drive, but the Mustangs quickly forced a punt and then took a 27-20 lead on a 7-yard scoring pass from Mordecai to Moochie Dixon. SMU then got the ball back near midfield after a Maryland fumble, but a missed field goal kept the lead at seven, and the Terps drove to tie it on a 1-yard run by Hemby. After an interception by Dante Trader, Maryland had a chance to take the lead. The Terrapins went for it on fourth-and-9 from the SMU 45. Dyches caught a pass a couple yards short, but he dragged linebacker Jimmy Phillips across the line to gain. Moments later, his TD made it 34-27. - Maryland/AP College Football

TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 2: 11. Jaelyn Duncan, rSr, OT, Maryland, 6-5, 320, 1,...Maryland amassed 617 total yards - 424 in the air, 193 rushing - in a 56-21 romp over the Charlotte 49ers. It was Duncan's 27th college game and he did not add to the seven sacks he gave up in his career. It was a mismatch that won't be at the top of his resume. Previous week, No. 13: Terp quarterback Taulia Tagovailo and a dynamic receiving crew got all the attention as Maryland mauled the Buffalo Bulls, 31-10. But somebody assisted in gathering 445 total yards, with 297 passing and that somebody was massive offensive tackle Jaelyn Duncan, who was second team All-Big Ten last year and is on the ascent. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

09/10/22 - Taulia Tagovailoa, rSr/2024, Maryland + More +

Taulia Tagovailoa wasn't happy with himself after failing to throw a touchdown pass in Maryland's season opener. He made up for it in Week 2 - and then some. Tagovailoa threw for 391 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, and the high-powered Maryland Terrapins defeated the Charlotte 49ers 56-21 on Saturday to improve to 2-0 for the third time in four seasons under head coach Michael Locksley. Tagovailoa connected on TD passes of 39 and 45 yards to Jacob Copeland and 14 and 16 yards to Jeshaun Jones in the first half as the Terrapins scored touchdowns on their first five possessions to build a 35-14 lead. The redshirt junior also ran for a score in the second half. "I feel like we made most of our opportunities count, not just myself but our O-line, our receivers and tight ends," Tagovailoa said. "And we won the game, that's the biggest thing." Antwaine Littleton ran for a 59-yard touchdown and Colby McDonald scored on a 49-yard burst as Maryland outgained Charlotte 617-388. - Maryland/AP College Football

Roman Hemby ran for 114 yards and two touchdowns, including a 70-yard sprint in the first minute of the second half that helped Maryland pull away to a 31-10 victory over Buffalo on Saturday. On an otherwise uneven day for the Maryland offense, Hemby breezed through a gaping hole and raced untouched to the end zone for the team's longest run since 2019. That gave the Terrapins a 24-7 advantage after 39 seconds in the third quarter. Antwaine Littleton also ran for two touchdowns for Maryland (1-0), and Taulia Tagovailoa threw for 290 yards.

It was also a solid defensive showing for the Terrapins, who return a talented quarterback and an impressive group of receivers but still need to show they can stop top teams. Buffalo (0-1) didn't give them much of a test. The Bulls were outgained 446-268. Hemby, a redshirt freshman who had 17 rushing attempts last season, made the most of his seven carries in this year's opener. He scored on a 33-yard run in the first quarter, and then Littleton added a 2-yard touchdown in the second. - Maryland/AP College Football

2022 PRESEASON MANNING AWARD PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Taulia Tagovailoa, Jr., Maryland,...Tagovailoa elevated Maryland's passing game to heights it has never seen before during the 2021 season. The Ewa Beach, Hawaii native completed 328 of 474 passes for 3,860 yards and 26 touchdowns while setting seven single-season program records. He shattered the single-season school records for passing yards and completions while equaling the mark for touchdowns thrown.

Tagovailoa became the first quarterback to start every game of a season for Maryland since C.J. Brown did so in 2014. He closed his sensational season by completing 20 of 24 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns to lead Maryland to a 54-10 rout of Virginia Tech in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Tagovailoa was named Most Valuable Player of the game after directing an offense that compiled 481 total yards and scored the most points in the history of the Pinstripe Bowl. - Maryland Football

08/09/22 - Dontay Demus Jr., rSr/2023, Maryland + More +

The Terps lost a pair of standout wide receivers, Dontay Demus Jr. and Jeshaun Jones, to major knee injuries last season. Demus led the Big Ten in receiving yards before he tore his ACL in the fifth game. Both participated in the first official practice of the preseason. Demus decided to put his NFL dreams on hold to return to Maryland, and even after dealing with a bone bruise in his foot in addition to the knee injury, he was surprised by the speed of his recovery. "I'm pretty much doing everything except for a little less contact," said Demus, a senior. "I feel like everything's pretty 100 percent, to be honest."

Jones, in his fifth season as a Terp, tore his other ACL in 2019 and said his most recent recovery process was "a lot smoother than my first time." Jones and Demus join junior star Rakim Jarrett (829 receiving yards last season) and Florida transfer Jacob Copeland (642 yards in 2021) to form a formidable unit. "I think it could be scary with all the weapons we have outside, with Lia in the pocket, the line up front, the backs we've got," Jones said. "I think the pass game could really open up for us." - Washington Post
