Redshirt freshman quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. got the start on Homecoming in place of Taulia Tagovailoa, performing admirably in a 31-24 win over Northwestern. The star of the game, however, was redshirt freshman running back Roman Hemby, who had the best outing of his young college career, rushing for a career-high 179 yards and three touchdown, his second straight 100-yard rushing performance and fourth overall this season.
On defense, sophomore safety Dante Trader Jr., came up with a big interception to help turn the tide in the Terps' favor early in the second half.
