He does it again! Riley Moss gets 3rd INT of the season with 1st quarter pick
Published:
Riley Moss is (temporarily) the B1G’s interception leader.
Moss hauled in his third pick of the season on Friday night in College Park, coming up with a big play early in the game against Maryland. With Iowa’s defensive line putting pressure on Taulia Tagovailoa, the Terrapins’ quarterback made a bad decision and Moss was the beneficiary.
The interception was made on a 3rd-and-6, giving the Hawkeyes great field position. Below is the clip of the first big play from Friday night:

That pick resulted in a field goal, as Caleb Shudak converted on a 41-yard try to give the Hawkeyes an early lead in the game.
Moss collected 2 interceptions in Iowa’s season-opening victory over Indiana, both of which were pick-sixes. The Hawkeyes pounded the Hoosiers 34-6.
Iowa has posted victories over Indiana, Iowa State, Kent State and Colorado State. It’s looking to improve to 5-0 on Friday night and 2-0 in the B1G.
