Corn Nation Overreaction Revisits the 13-10 “L” to Maryland
| This week on Overreaction Revisited, Hoss and Greg return to that fateful day, November 11, when the Maryland Terrapins invaded Memorial Stadium and left with a 13-10 win.

Three quarterbacks managed a measly 86 yards while throwing a combined four interceptions. Add in a lost fumble and it was not a good day for the offense. Hell, two punts went further than ten receptions. Javin Wright... |
