Taulia Tagovailoa is still rolling.
After throwing a bad interception early in Maryland’s game against Kent State on Saturday, the Terps QB got back on track with a 59-yard touchdown pass to Dontay Demus Jr. to put them on top 7-6.
That’s how you bounce back.
Maryland responds in a major way with a three play, 59-yard touchdown drive capped off with a Tagovailoa pass to Dontay Demus Jr for the score.

Tagovailoa leads the B1G in completion percentage and is still improving that number, completing 10 of 12 passes in the 1st quarter against Kent State. He then proceeded to throw a 6-yard touchdown on the first play of the 2nd quarter to put the Terps ahead 14-6.
But beyond the box score, it’s good to see him respond from the interception like he did. If he can keep this up — and it looks like he can — the hype will continue to grow about his game.
