Maryland overcame a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter on Saturday to down USC, 29-28, in a Big Ten tussle.
The Terrapins converted a two-point conversion with 9:56 left after a 10-yard touchdown run by Roman Hemby.
Coach Mike Locksley’s strategy worked perfectly. By going for two and converting it, the Terps were in position to win the game with another touchdown.
They blocked a field-goal attempt by USC and Billy Edwards Jr. used his legs on a three-yard run with 53 seconds left. The PAT was good and the Terps had the lead.
USC moved the ball but a fourth-and-two pass with 14 seconds left was incomplete.
The Trojans, in their first season in the Big Ten, are 3-4 under Lincoln Riley. They are 1-4 in the Big Ten.
Maryland is 4-2 overall and 1-3 in conference play.
