Maryland Wins Record-Setting Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl

Boise, ID – The University of Maryland claimed its first Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl championship Dec. 30 by overpowering a nationally-ranked University of Nevada rush defense and surviving a resilient Wolf Pack 42-35 in a record-setting game at Boise, Idaho’s Bronco Stadium.

The game tied the record for total points in a Humanitarian Bowl and was witnessed by a nationalwide audience on ESPN.

Maryland’s victory capped a bowl week of activities that began with offenses pelting their own defenses in snowball fights in the second-snowiest December on record in Idaho’s scenic capital city, raised thousands of dollars for charities in the annual Certified Angus Beef Bowl for Beef and reached out to veterans, kids and other patients at Boise area hospitals with visits by team members and mascots.
