It’s what happened, but what happened is only a given in different circumstances if you believe those circumstances (momentum/emotion) can’t impact teams. Maybe they would have scored a FG or TD. Maybe the defense would have been bolstered by the lead rather than dejected by the interception, and Maryland’s offense more nervous being down and not on a high after seeing their defense get the pick.
Regardless, how you act tied at home maybe should be different than how you act behind on the road.
