The emotional rollercoaster
Maryland fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Maryland lost 17-20 to Illinois on Halloween and slid to 2-6, a three-point defeat that fans traced straight back to an early goal-line fumble. "Of course the stupid goal line fumble early in the game costs us the win," read the most-upvoted verdict. Others mourned a defensive effort wasted by an offense that "folds easily on all third downs," while the students reportedly left once the free-tuition finalists were named. The tuition drawing, unlike the offense, finished what it started.
