In the pistol offense, the quarterback lines up four yards directly behind the <a href="/wiki/Center_(American_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Center (American football)">center</a> and with a running back directly behind the quarterback. Under the system, the offense attempts to keep the opposing defense off balance by diversifying the types of plays that can be run, with a focus on running up the middle, "quarterback keepers" in which the passer runs the ball, and <a href="/wiki/Play_action_pass" class="mw-redirect" title="Play action pass">play action passes</a> where the quarterback fakes a hand-off before throwing to a receiver.

On the first play of the quarter, Turner handed off to Green, who broke free of the Nevada defense for a 53-yard gain and a touchdown. The score and extra point gave Maryland a six-point lead, 20–14, with 14:50 remaining in the first half.<a href="#cite_note-bowl-88">[86]</a> Nevada and Maryland then exchanged punts three times, and the Wolf Pack punted it away a fourth time.

Turner completed an eight-yard pass to Ronnie Tyler, and a Nevada hit out-of-bounds resulted in a 15-yard penalty against Nevada and a first down for Maryland. After two incomplete passes, Turner then converted on third down again with a toss to Tyler for 16 yards and then once more for 14 yards and a touchdown to bring the score to 26–14 in Maryland's favor. The Terps elected to attempt a <a href="/wiki/Two-point_conversion" title="Two-point conversion">two-point conversion</a>, and Turner completed a pass to a wide-open Meggett in the right side of the end zone.

Kaepernick sat out the next series due to his sprained ankle. Backup quarterback Nick Graziano took over but was unable to complete two passes and Nevada punted a third time. In the next series, Turner threw an interception to Nevada safety Jonathan Amaya, who returned it for 33 yards to the Maryland 22-yard line, then <a href="/wiki/Fumble" title="Fumble">fumbled</a>. The ball was recovered by Nevada, and Kaepernick capitalized on the turnover with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Taua, narrowing Nevada's deficit to 28–21. Jaekle kicked off to the Maryland 30-yard line where it was returned by Green for two yards. A fresh <a href="/wiki/Da%27Rel_Scott" title="Da'Rel Scott">Da'Rel Scott</a> then made his first appearance in the game.

After an incomplete pass, Turner connected with Torrey Smith on a 26-yard toss for a third-down conversion. Scott then rushed for three yards to the Nevada 49-yard line, and <a href="/wiki/Carry_(American_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Carry (American football)">carried</a> it again down the middle, this time breaking free for a 49-yard touchdown run. On the following Nevada series, Kaepernick mounted a 38-yard drive to the Maryland 34-yard line, but failed to convert on fourth and 12. On the next series, Da'Rel Scott was handed the ball four times in succession to pick up first downs with rushes of 11, 23, 30 yards and a touchdown on a two-yard run. The score and extra point gave Maryland a two-touchdown lead, 42–28. Nevada's offense returned to the field with 7:44 remaining in the game and used almost three minutes in a 37-yard drive that culminated in an interception by Maryland safety Jeff Allen on the Maryland 38-yard line. After no gain on a rush by running back Morgan Green, Maryland attempted an <a href="/wiki/End-around" title="End-around">end-around</a>. Turner was stepped on, and the handoff was botched. The intended recipient, Heyward-Bey, dropped the ball but managed to recover it for a loss of six yards. After Nevada called a <a href="/wiki/Time-out_(sport)" title="Time-out (sport)">time out</a>, Green rushed for a five-yard gain. Nevada expended its last remaining time out to stop the clock with 4:06 left. Maryland punted it away on fourth down with 11 yards to go.<a href="#cite_note-bowl-88">[86]</a> Kaepernick took over on the Nevada 23-yard line with 4:01 and made four completions to drive to the Terps' 15-yard line.

Quarterback Chris Turner completed passes to five receivers during the game: Ronnie Tyler (five), Darrius Heyward-Bey (four), Torrey Smith (two), Adrian Cannon (one), and Emani Lee-Odai (one). Cannon and Tyler each caught a pass for a touchdown. Running back Davin Meggett caught a pass for a two-point conversion.

Wide receiver Heyward-Bey also made a rushing attempt, but dropped the ball and recovered it for a loss of six yards. Maryland had previously shown an ability to strike quickly on offense and did so again in the game. In the 2008 season, the team scored 18 out of 28 touchdowns in drives consisting of six or fewer plays or less than two minutes of game time. This led to the team often trailing opponents in time of possession.<a href="#cite_note-102">[100]</a> In the Humanitarian Bowl, Maryland continued the pattern by scoring in the first 1:01 with a 59-yard Chris Turner pass to Adrian Cannon. Maryland had possession for 2:26 less than Nevada.<a href="#cite_note-terpbowl-94">[92]</a> Maryland, which was third-best in the ACC in third down attempts (40.4%), did comparatively poorly during the game, converting only four of 14 third downs (28.6%).<a href="#cite_note-terpbowl-94">[92]</a><a href="#cite_note-103">[101]</a> Defensively, Maryland was able to hold the nation's third-ranked rushing offense to just 114 yards on the ground. Nevada quarterback Kaepernick, who ran for 1,115 yards, was held to just 19 rushing yards, 15 of which were gained during a touchdown run. Two players made their first career interceptions: true freshman safety Kenny Tate and senior defensive back Jeff Allen. Tate's interception in the Maryland end zone prevented a Nevada score, while Allen's interception with 4:54 remaining helped seal the victory for Maryland. Offensive lineman Scott Burley forced a fumble against Nevada linebacker Brandon Marshall, who had recovered a third-down fumble by Turner. Burley subsequently recovered the forced fumble and gave Maryland a first down.<a href="#cite_note-notes-104">[102]</a> Maryland's <a href="/wiki/Special_teams" class="mw-redirect" title="Special teams">special teams</a> recorded one touchdown when Torrey Smith returned a kickoff for 99 yards. After the first touchdown of the game, senior placekicker Obi Egekeze missed an extra point for the first time in his career. Early in the season, Egekeze missed his first five <a href="/wiki/Field_goal_(football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Field goal (football)">field goal</a> attempts, but, prior to the Humanitarian Bowl, he had made all 64 extra-point attempts of his career. After the first failed kick, Egekeze made the other five extra-point attempts of the game. The placekicker also erred when he attempted to kick the ball as it fell off the tee, resulting in a short 15-yard kick which was returned 36 yards by Nevada to the Maryland nine-yard line.<a href="#cite_note-terpbowl-94">[92]</a><a href="#cite_note-notes-104">[102]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Nevada_statistical_recap">Nevada statistical recap</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2008_Humanitarian_Bowl&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Nevada statistical recap">edit</a>]</div> <div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 10px; float: right;"> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"> <caption>Individual leaders<a href="#cite_note-bowl-88">[86]</a> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="5" style="background:navy; color:silver">Nevada Passing </th></tr> <tr> <th> </th> <th><a href="/wiki/Completion_(American_football)" title="Completion (American football)">Cmp</a>/<a href="/wiki/Pass_attempt" class="mw-redirect" title="Pass attempt">att</a> </th> <th><a href="/wiki/Yard" title="Yard">Yds</a> </th> <th><a href="/wiki/Touchdown" title="Touchdown">TD</a> </th> <th><a href="/wiki/Interception" title="Interception">Int</a> </th></tr> <tr> <td align="left">Colin Kaepernick </td> <td>24 / 47 </td> <td>370 </td> <td>3 </td> <td>2 </td></tr> <tr> <th colspan="5" style="background:navy;color:silver">Nevada Rushing </th></tr> <tr> <th> </th> <th><a href="/wiki/Carry_(American_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Carry (American football)">Carries</a> </th> <th>Yds </th> <th>TD </th> <th>Lg </th></tr> <tr> <td align="left">Vai Taua </td> <td>23 </td> <td>101 </td> <td>1 </td> <td>25 </td></tr> <tr> <td align="left">Colin Kaepernick </td> <td>9 </td> <td>15 </td> <td>1 </td> <td>19 </td></tr> <tr> <th colspan="5" style="background:navy;color:silver">Nevada Receiving </th></tr> <tr> <th> </th> <th><a href="/wiki/Reception_(American_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Reception (American football)">Recep.</a> </th> <th>Yds </th> <th>TD </th> <th>Lg </th></tr> <tr> <td align="left">Mike McCoy </td> <td>13 </td> <td>172 </td> <td>0 </td> <td>38 </td></tr> <tr> <td align="left">Marko Mitchell </td> <td>5 </td> <td>130 </td> <td>1 </td> <td>68 </td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> Nevada recorded better statistics than Maryland in several areas despite ultimately losing the game. The Wolf Pack compiled seven more first downs, 172 more passing yards, 28 more total offensive yards, 15 fewer penalty yards, 15.8% more third down conversions, and 2:26 more time in possession of the ball.<a href="#cite_note-terpbowl-94">[92]</a> In the passing game, Colin Kaepernick achieved a 51.1% pass completion rate (24 out of 47). He threw for 370 yards, including three touchdowns. He completed passes to Mike McCoy (13), Marko Mitchell (five), Chris Wellington (three), Arthur King Jr. (two), and Vai Taua (one). Mitchell, Wellington, and Taua each caught a pass for a touchdown. Due to Kaepernick's injury, backup quarterback Nick Graziano played for one series but was unable to make a completion on two attempts.<a href="#cite_note-terpbowl-94">[92]</a> On the ground, Nevada struggled against the Maryland defense, recording 114 rushing yards, far fewer than its 291.4 per game average. Running plays were attempted by Kaepernick and Taua, who made 23 carries for 101 yards and one touchdown. Despite suffering from a sprained ankle, Kaepernick also was able to scamper 15 yards for a rushing touchdown.<a href="#cite_note-terpbowl-94">[92]</a> Conversely, the Nevada defense had difficulty stopping the Maryland run. Nevada's rush defense allowed 258 yards, compared with its regular-season average of just 74.5 yards allowed per game. This was especially true after a well-rested Da'Rel Scott entered the game in the middle of the third quarter. Head coach Chris Ault said, "He just ran through us like we weren't there."<a href="#cite_note-terpbowl-94">[92]</a> Defensive back Jonathan Amaya intercepted a Chris Turner pass for his fourth interception of the season.<a href="#cite_note-nevnotes-101">[99]</a> Brett Jaekle handled all of Nevada's kicking duties. He made all five extra-point attempts. Jaekle punted eight times for 295 yards and kicked off five times for 270 yards. With 1:42 remaining, he attempted an onside kick, but the ball was recovered by Maryland's Danny Oquendo.<a href="#cite_note-terpbowl-94">[92]</a> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Post-game_effects">Post-game effects</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2008_Humanitarian_Bowl&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Post-game effects">edit</a>]</div> With the bowl game, Maryland finished the season with an 8–5 record. The win was Maryland's 600th in school history. Ralph Friedgen's postseason record improved to 4–2, which gave him twice as many bowl wins as any other head coach in school history.
