Think it’s safe to say that Saturday’s environment for @TerpsFootball vs. Virginia Tech lived up to the hype. So cool to see fans bring it for such a big game!
Blast to catch up with @BradenSchenck, @BillRoth2020, @EvanKHughes & more while sharing the call with @Daniel_Stein11!
HIGHLIGHTS— In one of its most highly anticipated games since joining the B1G, Maryland football dropped a W20 non-conference streak & fell to Virginia Tech, 35-26.
@RyanMartinPxP '27 & @Daniel_Stein11 '27 had the call from College Park:

Maryland Football had a prime opportunity to make an early season statement win.
Instead, Virginia Tech took control of the game and never let go, beating Maryland 35-26. The Terps will now have to search answers before heading into BIG Ten play.
@Jona_J_22 was at SECU.

Maryland football hosted Virginia Tech in one of the Terps’ most anticipated games in years.
But they fell short in yet another big game, falling to Virginia Tech 35-26 at SECU Stadium. Here’s how it happened.

FINAL: Maryland 26 Virginia Tech 35
The Terps lose to a James Franklin-led team again. Malik Washington had 359 yards and three touchdowns, but lacked support as the rushing game only had 64 yards.
Demoralizing loss for a sold-out Terps crowd looking to see its first big win since 2024.

Thoughts on yet another Maryland loss in a big game under Michael Locksley
- All-too familiar feeling for Terps fans at SECU Stadium
- Maryland seems to have a poor rushing attack (yet again)
- Defense surrenders 445 yards while stars don’t make much of an impact

@NoahLFerguson's the best. He was such a valued member of the All-Met team, so we're lucky to have him at The Sun.

Today we are spotlighting yet another #merrillmade intern, Owen Korzak!
Korzak was a sports intern for WJLA-TV (@7NewsDC) in Arlington, Virginia, this summer. During his internship, he wrote web stories, logged games, and researched and interviewed subjects for stories.
Some projects he worked on include the Washington Wizards' official NBA Draft watch party, AJ Dybantsa's introductory news conference, the Washington Commanders' offseason training camp and the Washington Nationals-New York Yankees series. #fearlessjournalism
ALT Owen Korzak poses with a WJLA microphone in front of a neon-lit basketball hoop and a backdrop reading "WIZARDS NBA DRAFT 2026 PARTY", framed by large red, navy and cream balloon garlands.
