Key Points:
- Maryland football, despite a strong start and leading Nebraska 16-7, ultimately lost 48-23 after Nebraska scored 34 unanswered points, marking Maryland's third consecutive defeat.
- Coach Mike Locksley praised the team's effort but cited numerous self-inflicted errors, including a blocked punt and multiple interceptions by quarterback Malik Washington, who has struggled recently.
- Locksley emphasized the team's struggles on third downs and execution issues across offense, defense, and special teams, taking responsibility for coaching and promising to improve.
- Nebraska quarterback Anthony Colandrea's mobility posed challenges for Maryland's defense, as Maryland failed to contain his running ability, allowing him over 100 rushing yards.
- The focus remains on Maryland's need to improve situational football, particularly on third downs, and to reduce costly mistakes to turn around their season.
