Unfortunately for Maryland, it was also ruled Demus fumbled on the play. The turnover set up a Hawkeye touchdown, extending their lead to 17-7. Iowa leads 34-7 at the half.
While being carted off, Demus could be seen saying, “I’m coming back.”

Hopefully, we’ll see Demus back on the field. Though, with that injury, he’ll likely be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
