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.”
“I’m coming back.”
Dontay Demus Jr is a warrior 💯

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