Nebraska rallies to beat Maryland 48-23, eyes Indiana clash
Sports Illustrated reported on October 6 that the Nebraska Cornhuskers rallied from a first-half deficit to defeat the Maryland Terrapins 48-23 in Lincoln, highlighted by a pick-six, and then turned their attention to a forthcoming matchup with top-ranked Indiana. Earlier coverage noted that Nebraska’s defense forced three turnovers and held Maryland scoreless in the second half, securing a 25-point victory and moving the Huskers to 5-0 for the first time since 2016 (Sports Illustrated). Maryland coach Mike Locksley blamed self-inflicted errors and poor third-down execution after his team led 16-7 early (247Sports).
The loss also exposed penalty issues and third-down conversion problems for Maryland (Testudo Times). An initial Sports Illustrated report listed a 41-16 score with 447 total yards and quarterback Anthony Colandrea accounting for 346 yards, but later reporting corrected the final result to 48-23.
