Quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. left the game after trying to play through a thumb injury, and the Terrapins fell, 29-13, to ensure a losing campaign.

Iowa pushed and bruised the Terps with a punishing rushing offense, and the response was too little, too late.

Maryland football was officially eliminated from bowl eligibility Saturday following a 29-13 loss to Iowa in its final home game of the season. The Terps were dominated in all three phases of the game en route to a disheartening loss.

The Terps officially secured their worst season since 2019, which was coach Michael Locksley’s first year at the helm.

On the ground, Iowa ran 58 times for a total of 288 yards and two touchdowns. While not utilized as much, the passing game from redshirt sophomore Jackson Stratton was efficient by finishing 10-of-14 for 76 yards.
