per Joe:
The Gophers introduced themselves to Maryland with authority on the opening kickoff.
Will Likely, a two-time, first-team All-Big Ten pick, caught the ball and ran to the 19-yard line, where Gophers freshman Thomas Barber pasted him.
“We always say when we go out there on special teams, either punt return or kickoff return, set the tone with the first play,” Barber said. “So I just did my job and tried to make the play.”
After Barber’s hit, the teams traded three-and-outs. But then Ryan Santoso hit a high punt to the Maryland 15, where Likely camped under it without signaling for a fair catch.
