As ESPN is interviewing Virginia Tech's new coach, he says "We are gonna play a great brand of defense"

5 seconds later that defense gives up a 70 yard TD pic.twitter.com/xsfPhqGQ1K

Let's check in on the reaction to Maryland's on field performance by the national media:

Nice win for Maryland. Mike Locksley's team finishes 7-6, first time the Terps have finished above .500 in eight years, and their best record since 2010 despite losing their best player (Dontay Demus) a month into the season.

— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 29, 2021

Maryland's playmakers have shown up today. Terps are averaging are averaging 11 yards per play, Taulia's 9-for-10, and they have a TD return from one of the most talented DBs in the Big Ten, Tarheeb Still. Maryland rolling 21-3.

— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 29, 2021

Maryland is absolutely working Virginia Tech, 34-10. Not entirely surprising given the state of the Hokies, but Taulia Tagovailoa and his receivers are on fire.

— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 29, 2021

Maryland now leads Virginia Tech, 47-10, and wow.
