Stanford dominates Maryland in Foster Farms Bowl

Maryland was no match for Stanford in the Foster Farms Bowl.

On a blustery night in Santa Clara, Calif., Stanford's offense capitalized on short fields and the Terrapins weren't able to do much productive with the ball as the Cardinal rolled to a 45-21 win.

After Maryland tied the game at 7-7 early in the second quarter, Stanford, 8-5, scored three unanswered touchdowns. The first drive was a quick 5-play 49-yard drive that was capped by Remound Wright's second touchdown. Wright got a third on the next drive, which was a 5-play 70-yard drive. And then Kevin Hogan tossed his first touchdown of the night on the 10th play of a 54-yard drive.

The score was 28-7 at halftime and it might as well have been 56-7.

Maryland QB C.J. Brown wasn't incredibly effective until it was late in the fourth quarter and was hampered by the lack of a ground game. After tying the game, Maryland's next seven drives accrued a grand total of 60 yards while Stanford's in the same timeframe tallied over 300. The lone bright spot in the second half was a 100-yard touchdown return by William Likely after Stanford went up 42-7.

Hogan finished 14-20 passing for 189 yards and two touchdowns before being given a break early in the fourth quarter. Brown finished 16-28 passing for 214 yards as Maryland finishes the year 7-6.
