Terps line up with 10 men on the first play. Classy gesture from Texas to decline the delay of game.

The 19-year-old redshirt freshman died on June 13 after collapsing at practice two weeks prior. The circumstances surrounding his death drew significant attention to the state of Maryland’s football program and eventually led to the dismissal of several members on their athletic staff. 

The team remembered McNair in more than one way on Saturday. Players wore his number, 79 on their helmets and raised a flag for their late teammate.
