COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Senior quarterback C.J. Brown threw for 246 yards and two touchdowns to lead the offense, while senior linebacker Cole Farrand totaled 18 tackles on defense for Maryland, but the Terrapins couldn't overcome No. 12 Michigan State and fell to the Spartans 37-15 in front of a sold-out crowd of 51,802 at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.

Jeremy Langford ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Spartans' offense, which also received a 138-yard rushing effort from Jeremy Langford.

Riley Bullough scored on a 22-yard interception return to help the Spartans (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten, No. 12 CFP) bounce back from last week's disheartening 49-37 loss to Ohio State.

Maryland's defense was stout throughout most of the game and limited the Michigan State offense to just nine points on three field goals through much of the first half.

The Terrapins responded with Brown's first TD strike of the game, a 20-yarder to junior wide receiver Daniel Adams, midway through the second quarter to trim the deficit to 9-7.

The Spartans took a 16-7 lead into halftime and then scored the lone touchdown of the third quarter on an interception return for a touchdown to take a 23-7 lead into the fourth.

The Michigan State running game wore down the Terrapins' defense and Langford and Nick Hill each ran for scores in the final quarter.

Sandwhiched inbetween was Brown's second TD pass, which was a beautiful 31-yard strike to freshman tight end Derrick Hayward.

Sophomore cornerback William Likely had 228 yards on seven kick returns, including a 50-yard return.

Senior defensive lineman Andre Monroe registered one sack and is now just one away from tying the school career record of 24, which was set by Michael Corvino from 1979-82.

Maryland returns to action next Saturday, Nov. 22 when it heads to Ann Arbor, Mich., to play Michigan at Michigan Stadium. Game time for the Terrapins and the Wolverines will be announced on Sunday, Nov. 16.
