They fell one point shy of a school record, but it’s hard to imagine a better start to the Mike Locksley era of Maryland football.
The Howard University defense stopped Maryland on the Terps’ first drive of the game. From that point on, however, it was all Maryland. They set a team record for most points in any half (56), and their 79 points were one shy of a team record set nearly 100 years ago against Washington College.
While Howard didn’t offer the level of competition that top-25 ranked Syracuse will next weekend in College Park, there are still some takeaways to be had from today’s game.
