What happened

Maryland went to Columbus and left with a 16-45 loss, which surprised nobody, and that was somehow the problem. The turning point wasn't a play; it was the moment the fanbase stopped talking about the game at all and started petitioning rival fans for help, one posting, "Can the B1G bros in here PLEASE donate to our cause." At 2-4, the anger has narrowed to a single target: "I hate this staff." Misery held at 96, which is less stability than exhaustion.
