Honestly, teams are all about fun, but this game is about rating (or not rating) mayonnaise.

Sticky fingers!

The Terrapins found the end zone first in the game and took a 10-3 lead with a great pass from Tauria Tagovailoa to Octavian Smith.

The Wolfpack, meanwhile, stayed in the game thanks to the trusty legs of Christopher Dunn, who won the Groza Award as the best kicker in the country. Dunn scored his goal in the first half he fielded three and Terp on the break put him ahead 10–9.

A Steady Meal of Field Goals

The Terps added a field goal of their own to hold a 13-9 lead through three quarters.

What a pick!

With Maryland backing up deep in their own territory, Tagovailoa hit a deep shot downfield, but North Carolina State’s Rakeem Ashford made an incredible interception to give the Wolfpack excellent field possession. I was. Dunn added another field goal to make it 13-12.

After Maryland added another field goal, the teams exchanged punts before North Carolina regained the ball with less than three minutes remaining and had a chance to put together a game-winning drive. But Jacobian Bennett picked his North Carolina quarterback Ben Finley to secure the Terrapins’ victory.

And…it’s time for Mike Locksley’s MAYO BATH!
