Maryland Wins If …

The brother of NFL player Tua Tagovailoa, Taulia, needs to put the Terrapins on his back to win this game.

Tagovailoa had a decent year thus far, completing 70% of his passes and throwing for 17 touchdowns, along with 8 interceptions, however.

He started off incredibly hot and led Maryland to an ecellent start on the year with wins over West Virginia, Howard, Illinois, and Ball State.  But that came crashing down quickly in an insane five-interception loss at home to Iowa, 51-14.

Tagovailoa’s settled down since then but nothing near the level he played at to start the year.

Tagovailoa has achieved a QB rating of 155.4 thus far.

Taulia will need to have a QB Rating of 170.0+ in order for Maryland to pull off this upset.
