Billy Edwards Jr.
ran for a touchdown and threw for a score as Maryland routed Auburn 31-13 Saturday at the Music City Bowl and the Terrapins won a program-record third straight bowl.
Maryland (8-5) hadn't played a Southeastern Conference team in a bowl since routing Tennessee 30-3 in the 2002 Peach Bowl, the AP reports.
This game essentially was over before the end of the first quarter, even without Taulia Tagovailoa, the Big Ten's passing leader this season opting out for the NFL draft.
Auburn (6-7) ended coach Hugh Freeze's first season back in the SEC losing three straight.
"I don't need anyone to tell me that we don't measure up, and that starts with me," Freeze said.
Maryland dominated from the opening snap, taking a 21-0 lead as the Terrapins outgained Auburn 226-13 within the first 12 minutes.
The Terrapins also forced four turnovers, keyed by Glendon Miller's 44-yard pick-6.
Edwards showed off his legs that helped him run for six touchdowns in spot duty during the regular season when Tagovailoa started.
