COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The Blackshirts needed to stand tall.

The Nebraska offense — orchestrated by Dylan Raiola — had just carved up the Maryland Terrapins’ defense for a 7-play, 81-yard drive over 2 minutes and 34 seconds to retake the lead at 34-31.

Nebraska bent — as quarterback Malik Washington had two first-down passes in the six-play drive — but didn’t break.

The hero in the final moments? DeShon Singleton, who broke up a desperation pass from Washington toward Dorian Fleming, on fourth-and-4 with 23 seconds remaining.
