Social Media Rewind: Terps Beat West Virginia

The Terps opened the 2021 season with a bang yesterday at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium, defeating the Mountaineers of West Virginia, 30-24. Led by 332 passing yards and three touchdowns by Taulia Tagovailoa, the Terps accumulated 496 yards of offense and forced four WVU turnovers, highlighted by a huge, game-changing interception by Jakorian Bennett in the fourth quarter.

The Terps opened the season with a bang both on the field and on social media, as the Twittersphere was buzzing about the Terps. Check out the best social media reactions from Saturday.

Many others had their eye on the Terps as well.

After an incredible six reception, 122 yard, one touchdown performance, Rakim Jarrett had a message for all the DMV recruits out there:
