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.
