CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – Maryland football used a second-half surge to defeat Virginia, 27-13, in a renewed rivalry on Saturday at Scott Stadium. Maryland has won 14 consecutive non-conference games, every game since the 2021 season. This is the second-longest streak in the country and Maryland’s longest streak in the last 40 years. Only Georgia (24) has won more consecutive non-conference games than the Terps.
The Terps (2-1) took control of the game in the second half, outgaining the Cavaliers (2-1) 250-82 with solid play on both sides of the ball. A touchdown reception by Kaden Prather gave the Terps a 14-13 lead in the third quarter, generating a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. A pair of field goals by Jack Howes and a rushing touchdown by Billy Edwards Jr. sealed the victory.
Maryland’s defense forced four turnovers in the game, with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Dante Trader Jr. and Jalen Huskey had interceptions, and Donnell Brown and Quashon Fuller recovered fumbles. Through three games, the Terps have corralled six interceptions — the most by the team since 2013, when they also had six. The Terps also didn’t allow a point in the second half and held the Cavaliers’ offense to just 51 passing yards and 31 rushing yards coming out of the locker room. Trader also led the team in tackles with a career-high tying 11.
Edwards completed 28-of-43 passes for 263 yards and two passing touchdowns while also running for the key score midway through the fourth quarter. He threw touchdowns to Tai Felton and Prather.
Felton hauled in nine passes for 117 yards with a touchdown for the fourth game in a row….
