No. 4 Tyrrell Pigrome rushes for game-winning touchdown

One of the biggest storylines of 2016 was Perry Hills being knocked out of several games.

In the third game, Maryland was in a dogfight with Central Florida on the road. Hills was forced to leave in overtime due to injury.

Backup Tyrrell Pigrome came into the game with his only experience coming against Howard and Florida International in garbage. It certainly didn’t seem to phase the true freshman though.

After the Terps recovered a Knight fumble earlier in double overtime, Pigrome got his chance to make an impact. He ended up taking a designed quarterback draw 24 yards for the game-winning touchdown.

Pigrome weaved his way right through the heart of the Central Florida defense. At the end of the run, he was able to cut back, which made it an easy trip to the end zone.

The former Clay-Chalkville (Ala.) standout proved to be a very dynamic run threat throughout his freshman season. Pigrome ended up rushing for four touchdowns when it was all said and done.

Pigrome does leave a little to be desired from a passing standpoint. However, this is a stellar athlete that can flat-out make plays and he’s a big part of Maryland’s future.
