The Indiana-Maryland game is getting fun.
Remember when it was a 14-10 game at halftime? Now, Maryland is out in front 21-17 after the two teams traded scores.
Indiana got things started with a 66-yard touchdown run from Stephen Carr, who broke through the middle of the pack to find the end zone. That put the Hoosiers ahead 17-14.

Taulia Tagovailoa is having quite the game for Maryland. The junior quarterback has completed 22 of 32 passes for 327 yards and 1 touchdown — all before the end of the 3rd quarter.
Carr leads Indiana’s offense with 120 yards, including that 66-yard house call. He’s scored both of the Hoosiers’ touchdowns, providing a huge boost for an otherwise struggling offense.
Maryland and Indiana are facing off on the B1G Network.
