MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Senior Brandon Ross ran for 130 yards on 15 carries, but the Maryland football team fell, 45-6, to West Virginia Saturday afternoon.
The Terrapins (2-2) drove into West Virginia (2-0) territory multiple times, but were unable to capitilize. The Mountaineers jumped out to an early lead to clinch the victory.
Ross ran 55 yards to the West Virginia 1 late in the second quarter. Ross was ruled down before he fumbled out of the end zone, but the call was overturned and West Virginia took possession on the resulting touchback.
Caleb Rowe started the game, but was replaced late in the third quarter by Daxx Garman who got Maryland on the board with a 46-yard scoring toss to Jarvis Davenport.
Maryland returns to action next Saturday against Michigan. Kickoff from Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m., and the game can be seen live on BTN.
