Washington storms back from a 20-point deficit, hands Maryland first loss, 24-20
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Jonah Coleman scored on a 1-yard run with 3:21 remaining, capping Washington’s furious rally from a 20-point third-quarter deficit as the Huskies edged Maryland 24-20. The Huskies won on the road in Big Ten play for the first time since debuting in the league last season. It took a while for them to produce much of anything offensively, and Coleman finished with just 57 yards on 18 carries, but Washington scored touchdowns on each of its last three possessions, not counting the one the Huskies used to run out the clock at the end. Maryland hadn’t trailed all season before Coleman’s touchdown.

Oregon State (0-6) rallied behind David Wells Jr.’s rushing and receiving touchdowns to trail 17-14 at half, but Kohl’s 28-yard strike to Davion Dozier restored control. De Freitas added another field goal, and App State’s defense sealed it with a late interception and Farmer’s clutch stop at the goal line. Kohl threw for 218 yards, Dubinion rushed for 101, and Maalik Murphy led the Beavers with 358 yards and two touchdowns.
