Brendan Sullivan threw two touchdown passes, passed for 265 yards, and added 56 on the ground asMaryland was without a key assistant coach. Co-offensive coordinator Kevin Sumlin was arrested in Florida on Oct. 22 on suspicion of driving while under the influence and was not with the Terrapins on Saturday.
After another stop by the Northwestern defense, Sullivan connected with Joseph Himon II for a 53-yard catch and run to set up another field goal by Olsen to extend the lead to 33-20 with 5:03 left.Northwestern has been somewhat of a surprise after coming into the season with a 1-11 2022 record and a major hazing scandal that put an end to Pat Fitzgerald as Northwestern’s head coach.
Trailing 33-20, Terps quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa engineered a quick 4-play 61-yard, scoring drive, capping it off with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Jeshaun Jones with 3:42 left. Maryland’s defense finally held the Northwestern offense to a three-and-out and Tagovailoa was threatening with a game-winning drive but Tai Felton dropped a pass at the 11, then Tagovailoa was picked off by Coca Azema at the Northwestern 8-yard line.
"Obviously, a really disappointing loss. Give Northwestern credit, but they outplayed us. They outplayed us, they outhustled us, they outhit us and when that happens you have to look at everything, including myself and all the way down the roster. Everybody that made this trip played a part in what happened today and it’s really disappointing," Locksley said.
