“I thought, defensively, coming in, we knew this was an explosive offense,” Smith said after the game. “[We] challenged our defense to just make [Maryland’s offense] earn it, put together long drives where they had to earn it throughout, and for the most part, we did that. And they kept on responding, even when we got down, they came up huge for us with that. So really happy on the group’s effort.
