After accumulating 828 yards and 53 first downs, attempting 78 passes and running 153 plays, the Terrapins and Hoosiers finally walked off the field after a game that lasted nearly four hours and ended with Maryland celebrating a 42-39 victory.
Indiana lost despite outgaining Maryland 483-345 and making 35 first downs.
Indiana got the most out of both its quarterbacks. Peyton Ramsey went 31 for 41 for 279 yards and three touchdowns, and backup Richard Lagow passed for 131 yards and two scores.
Ramsey was flattened by a late hit in the third quarter and returned the following series, but Lagow ran the offense for much of the fourth quarter after Ramsey was felled again.
Maryland celebrated the 125th birthday of the football program by wearing throwback uniforms consisting of yellow helmets, yellow jerseys and black pants.
The Hoosiers thought their strong suit was defense, but that wasn't the case in this one. The rebuilding process under Allen appears to be working, though it's going to be a while before the Hoosiers can complete with the Big Ten elite, given that Maryland was difficult to handle.
