Tip Drill: Maryland hauls in circus catch to even score against Indiana

Maryland just completed one of the wildest plays of Week 5 to even the score at 14-all against Indiana.
Billy Edwards, who now has 2 touchdowns on the afternoon, threw a ball indented for Kaden Prather that he couldn’t quite haul in. Prather tipped the ball up into the air where it was finally reeled in by Dylan Wade for the tying score.
Words don’t do this play justice. Check out the chaos below:

Maryland was full of surprises this entire drive. Just a few moments before Wade hauled in this tip-drill touchdown pass, Edwards found Shaleak Knotts for a massive chunk play.

Unfortunately for the Terrapins, Indiana was able to steal the lead right back after Wade’s touchdown. Hoosiers RB Justice Ellison broke free for a touchdown rush that gave Indiana a 21-14 lead with just over 7 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter.
The Terrapins are playing a strong game on offense after their defense carried them to start. Maryland forced 2 interceptions from Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke, but the Hoosiers have since produced 3 touchdown drives.
We’re in for a good finish in Bloomington.
