Maryland methodically and meticulously put away Purdue in the first-ever meeting between the two schools, looking nothing like the team that ended the regular season with two lopsided losses.
Game MVP Sam Hollenbach passed for 223 yards and two touchdowns, and Lance Ball added 98 rushing yards as the Terrapins claimed a 24-7 victory. The Terrapins were able to keep Purdue’s offense, the NCAA’s 10th best at 425 yards per game, in check by blanketing its speedy wideouts, batting down several passes — and keeping the ball away from the Boilermakers.
Keon Lattimore added 86 yards rushing on 20 carries for the Terps, who held the ball for 39:48. Maryland milked the clock with 429 total yards and 20 first downs and Purdue could not capitalize on its few opportunities.
