Cardell Williams’s late heroics fuel Maryland’s victory over Wisconsin, 24-21, for first Big Ten home win

Maryland football, playing under a backup quarterback, accomplished something Saturday it hadn’t in more than three years. Cardell Williams, in his first start as a Terp, led a furious fourth-quarter rally after his team fell behind seven. The redshirt senior quarterback’s valiant effort culminated in a 30-yard game-winning field goal by kicker Sean O’Haire, giving Maryland its first Big Ten win streak since September 2023. The victory moved the Terps (4-6, 2-5 Big Ten) to 2-1 under interim coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim and kept their bowl-game hopes alive with clashes against No. 18 USC and Penn State looming. They’ve already surpassed their conference win total from last season. “What you seen out on the field today was big brothers taking care of other brothers. You’ve seen a lot of brotherhood,” Abdul-Rahim said. “We expect to win every week. That’s how we prepare. That’s the mindset.” It was a team win for Maryland.
