Maryland Football: Offensive highlights from Saturday's Spring Game

Maryland football held its annual Red-White spring game on Saturday. White defeated Red, 31-28 in an offensive game between the two sides. Freshman phenom Malik Washington played well throwing for 168 yards on 12-of-18 passing and two scores. UCLA transfer Justyn Martin didn't play the best passing, going 6-of-14 for 69 yards and a score. But the quarterback who stole the show was Khristian Martin, a redshirt freshman. Martin won the MVP Award for completing 16-of-23 for 269 yards with four touchdown passes.

Wide receivers Mekhi White and Ryan Manning both caught for over 100 yards.

Here are some of the key offensive highlights from the game.

•  Khristian Martin connected with Makhai White on a go-route for a completion of 42 yards on Team White's first drive. Martin then found White for a 15-yard opening drive touchdown reception.
• Martin completed a first down to Josiah McLaurin on a run-pass option to kickstart white's second drive. The drive ended in another TD reception by White (18 yards) on a fade to the back left corner of the endzone. Thomas McLuskey also had a first-down catch on the drive. Team White led 14-0. 
• Martin rushed for a first down on Team Red's first down. Dejuan Williams and Dorian Fleming (24 yards) then moved the chains with receptions before Octavian Smith Jr. caught a two-yard TD on an out route. Team Red trailed 14-7.
