On Saturday the Maryland Terrapins kicked off their 2024 NCAAF season by hosting the UConn Huskies. It didn't take long for the fireworks to begin.
In the first half, Maryland QB Billy Edwards Jr. found himself in the open field, sprinting for a first down after scrambling out of the pocket. As defenders closed, Edwards went into a slide, but still got absolutely drilled by UConn defensive back Jordan Wright. Edwards's helmet went flying as Wright appeared to come in high and a little late.
