In Friday night’s showdown between two unbeaten teams in the B1G, it was Maryland that reached the end zone first.

Trailing No. 5 Iowa 3-0 in the 1st quarter, the Terrapins put together an impressive 8-play, 69-yard drive that resulted in the game’s first touchdown. Taulia Tagovailoa hit Chigoziem Okonkwo on a 9-yard pass to put Maryland ahead 7-3.

Below is the early touchdown play that gave Maryland an early advantage on the nation’s fifth-ranked team.

Maryland’s previous two drives ended with a punt and an interception. Putting together a long drive and getting into the end zone was a nice momentum builder for Mike Locksley’s team.

The Terrapins entered Friday night’s game with a perfect 4-0 record. Despite the hot start, Maryland is not ranked in the Associated Press Poll.

A win over No. 5 Iowa would certainly change that.
