However, the redshirt junior Tagovailoa wound up playing the vast majority of the game and attempted all but one of Maryland's 38 passing attempts. The 5-foot-11 signal-caller did struggle against the intense pressure from Wolfpacks' experienced defense, logging his third-lowest completion percentage and yards per attempt of the season. He also coughed up an early red-zone interception while trying to throw the ball away into the corner of the end zone. The second-year starter rebound three series later when he fit a 19-yard pass into a tight window for Octavian Smith Jr., marking the critical lone touchdown of the game. Tagovailoa finished the 2022 campaign by completing 67 percent of his 391 passes for 3,008 yards and a 18:8 TD:INT ratio, and he is expected to return to Maryland for the 2023 season.
