Dwayne McDougle’s pick-6 turns game Nebraska’s way in a 48-23 victory over Maryland
Nebraska secured a 48-23 victory over Maryland, with standout defensive play by Dwayne McDougle III. The Cornhuskers' running back Anthony Colandrea had a 100-yard rushing game, while quarterback Anthony Colandrea completed 26 of 39 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns. Maryland quarterback Malik Washington threw three interceptions, including an 81-yard pick-6 return for a touchdown by McDougle III in the first half.
Maryland's Jamal Rule was out due to injury. The Cornhuskers, who led most of the first half, continued to dominate despite penalties totaling 247 yards, the most in a Bowl Subdivision game since Florida Atlantic and Western Kentucky in 2021. Maryland, now 2-3, will face No. 5 Ohio State next Saturday.
