Maryland football wallops UConn, 50-7, behind Billy Edwards Jr.’s big day: ‘Great liftoff’
COLLEGE PARK — The post-Taulia Tagovailoa era for Maryland football began as well as coach Mike Locksley could have hoped. Billy Edwards Jr. shepherded a largely untested offense to more than 600 yards and four touchdowns, and an experienced defense overwhelmed a middling opponent as the Terps waltzed to a 50-7 victory over visiting UConn in the season opener for both schools Saturday afternoon before an announced 35,421 at SECU Stadium. “Great start to the 2024 season, great liftoff,” said Locksley, who improved to 5-1 in season-opening games. “We talked to our team going into this game about the start and the importance of getting off to a fast start and putting it all together, and I thought we were able to do it today with all three phases contributing to the win.” Maryland, which reached the 50-point plateau for the first time since a 56-21 throttling at Charlotte on Sept. 10, 2022, did what it was expected to do against a Huskies team that went 3-9 last fall and 9-16 in its first two years under former NFL coach Jim Mora. UConn dropped to 1-3 in its series with the Terps, with that lone win occurring Sept. 15, 2012.
