Charlotte stunned Maryland early with a quick touchdown drive and an interception return for a score, but the Terrapins finally found consistency, scoring 29 second-half points in a 38-20 comeback win over the 49ers.
“Didn’t meet the standard today,” Maryland coach Mike Locksley said. “Our standard is to start fast and finish strong, and we didn’t do either one of those two things, and we’re still able to come away with a pretty good win.
Receiver Jeshaun Jones and running back Roman Hemby both hit century milestones: Jones his 100th career catch, Hemby his fifth career 100-yard rushing game. Both marks came in the second half, when Maryland found some semblance of a rhythm, after the 49ers punched them in the mouth amid a disjointed first quarter.
“They had drop-eight coverage, the [defensive] end was blocked outside of the flat guy. It was a poor decision on our quarterback’s part to throw it there,” Locksley said. “The ball should have went inside.” The Terrapins only managed nine first-half points on three field goals by Jack Howes. Two red zone opportunities were negated by penalties: An unnecessary roughness on Antwan Littleton after a run on first-and-goal and a suspect push-off call in the end zone on receiver Kaden Prather that negated a touchdown.“We’re down at the four-yard line, and we get a personal foul because of the being emotional, and I said the only way you fix stuff like that is by what happened today.
Hemby totaled a career-high 217 yards from scrimmage, 162 of them rushing, after only gaining 9 yards on the ground in the first half.
