Taulia Tagovailoa made a great throw during the first half of the Duke’s Mayo Bowl against N.C. State. Tagovailoa threw a beautiful ball to Octavian Smith Jr. for six.

Both teams were off to sloppy starts as N.C. State and Maryland had one turnover each early on in the game. Tagovailoa erased the interception he threw earlier with a great touchdown pass.

Smith managed to bring in the pass while keeping at least one foot inbounds on the contested catch. The score was for 19 yards to break the tie in the second quarter.

If Maryland wins this game, it would be the first time that the Terps have won back-to-back bowl games since the 2002 and 2003 seasons. Ralph Friedgen was the coach of Maryland football during that time.
