First Quarter

The opening quarter saw both teams finding their rhythm, each scoring a touchdown to keep things level at 7-7. The Maize and Blue showcased their balanced offensive strategy early on, with quarterback Bryce Underwood leading the charge. His precise passing set up key plays that would define Michigan's approach for the rest of the game.

Second Quarter

In the second quarter, Michigan began to pull away from Maryland, outscoring them 14-3. Underwood's connection with wide receiver Andrew Marsh proved pivotal as they executed a series of successful passes culminating in touchdowns. Marsh ended up with an impressive total of 76 receiving yards and one touchdown by halftime.

Third Quarter

The third quarter mirrored much of what was seen earlier as Michigan extended its lead further by adding another 14 points while holding Maryland to just three points again. Running back Bryson Kuzdzal emerged as a key player during this period, rushing for three touchdowns and amassing a total of 100 yards on the ground.

Fourth Quarter

As fatigue set in during the final quarter, both teams managed to score once more; however, it was clear that Michigan had already secured its dominance over Maryland. The Wolverines added another ten points thanks largely to kicker Dominic Zvada’s reliable performance under pressure.

Throughout this matchup between these two Big Ten rivals, several moments stood out as potential turning points—none more so than Mason Curtis’ interception which halted any momentum Maryland tried building late into proceedings—a crucial defensive play contributing significantly towards securing victory for his team.
