Two games, two blowout wins for Michael Locksley and Maryland football.
The Terps dominated No. 21 Syracuse on both sides of the ball Saturday afternoon, coming away with a 63-20 victory in College Park. Maryland is now 2-0 for the fourth straight season, and its 142 points in the first two games mark the program’s highest-ever scoring output in consecutive contests.
Maryland’s offense scored seven touchdowns on its first eight drives, turning an expected close game into a rout in short order. Quarterback Josh Jackson led the way, completing 21 of his 38 passes for 296 yards and three scores. The Terps also rushed for 354 yards and six touchdowns against a Syracuse defense coming off a shutout of Liberty. Maryland led 42-13 at halftime, its most points in any half against a ranked opponent since the Miracle at Miami in 1984.
