Brendan Sullivan threw two touchdown passes, passed for 265 yards, and added 56 on the ground as Northwestern defeated Maryland 33-27 on Saturday.
Maryland was without a key assistant coach. Co-offensive coordinator Kevin Sumlin was arrested in Florida on Oct. 22 on suspicion of driving while under the influence and was not with the Terrapins on Saturday.
After another stop by the Northwestern defense, Sullivan connected with Joseph Himon II for a 53-yard catch and run to set up another field goal by Olsen to extend the lead to 33-20 with 5:03 left. “Those oddsmakers aren’t sitting in our room, they are not in our position rooms, they don’t know the heart that exists in that room, they don’t know the purpose that drives these guys. We’ll let guys make their odds and we’ll go back to work,” Northwestern interim coach David Braun said.
Tagovailoa threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns. He was sacked six times, including a costly fumble in the first quarter that led to a Northwestern touchdown.
