Maryland's 10-point rally leaves Wisconsin with an ugly Big Ten loss
The short-handed Terrapins scored 10 points the final 2 ½ minutes to beat the Badgers for the second straight year.
In a 24-21 Big Ten loss, Wisconsin faced an ugly finish as Maryland staged a dramatic 10-point rally in the final 2.5 minutes. Maryland took advantage of a turnover forced by Trey Reddick, who blind-sided UW quarterback Ryan Hopkins, causing a fumble with 1:54 on the clock. Maryland capitalized on that play, scoring the winning points at the Wisconsin 33.
Hopkins was injured on the sack, which led to Colton Joseph taking the snap for the final drive. Maryland's defense struggled throughout the game, surrendering 201 total yards to the Badgers. Maryland's wide receiver Malik Washington was absent from the lineup, and the Terrapins were penalized 11 times for 111 yards. Despite the loss, Wisconsin's Sean O’Haire still managed a 30-yard field goal with 29 seconds left to secure the points.
The Badgers were without starting quarterback Ryan Hopkins, who was replaced by fifth-year senior Colton Joseph. Maryland improved to 4-6 and 2-5 in the season, while Wisconsin finishes with a 6-4 record, including a 4-3 record in the Big Ten.
