COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Michigan scored three second-half touchdowns en route to a 28-0 victory over Maryland Saturday afternoon in front of a sell-out crowd of 51,802 at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.

The 22nd-ranked Wolverines won their fourth straight game to improve to 4-1 and 1-0 in Big Ten play. The Terps (2-3, 0-1) dropped consecutive regular season games for the first time since 2013.

Maryland's defense was stout throughout the opening 15 minutes of play, limiting the Wolverines to just 41 total yards, with just nine of those coming on the ground.

The Terrapins had a chance to take the lead following a fumble recovery by Sean Davis with 1:36 left in the first, but a Caleb Rowe interception stifled the scoring opportunity as a screen pass went through the hands of Brandon Ross.

Michigan led 6-0 at halftime before pulling away with two third quarter touchdowns. After Jake Rudock connected with Drake Johnson for a 31-yard score, wide receiver Jehu Chesson took an inside handoff and sprinted down the left sideline for a 66-yard touchdown to make it 21-0.

Ross finished with 44 yards on the ground for the Terps, leaving him just 13 yards shy of 2,000 career rushing yards. Jermaine Carter Jr. led Maryland with eight tackles, while Quinton Jefferson posted a sack, forced fumble and his first career interception.
