The Terps took a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back, claiming a historic third consecutive bowl victory with their win against the Tigers.
“In our locker room, it wasn’t necessarily a celebration,” coach Michael Locksley said after the game. “We all know we didn’t play up to our standard.”
The Terps’ finished the season with eight wins, their most since 2010, and notched back-to-back bowl wins for the first time since the 2002 and 2003 campaigns.
