Jeshaun Jones shows off blazing speed on 76-yard TD catch for Maryland
Maryland’s offense is seriously cooking in the first half against Minnesota.
The Terrapins scored touchdowns on their first three possessions of the game on Friday night, building an early 21-7 lead over the Gophers. One of the more impressive plays of the (early) contest came late in the 1st quarter, when Taulia Tagovailoa hit Jeshaun Jones for a 76-yard touchdown pass.
It was a 1-play drive that resulted in a Maryland touchdown and a 14-point advantage in the game. Tagovailoa delivered a beautiful pass to Jones, who then blazed past the Minnesota secondary:

Jones had 2 catches for 91 yards and a touchdown.
