Right after Maryland football's 38-10 loss to UCF Sept. 23, Terps head coach DJ Durkin expressed disappointment in how his team's energy dipped after freshman quarterback Kasim Hill went down with what turned out to be a torn ACL.
A few days later, Durkin's assessment of his team's loss didn't change. The coach said Hill's injury "kind of took the wind out of our sails."
Hill was injured on the Terps' second drive of the game, and UCF outplayed the Terps for the rest of the contest and dominated the second half. It marked the second time in three games Maryland lost its starting quarterback, as sophomore Tyrrell Pigrome suffered a torn ACL during a win at Texas Sept. 2.
