Barnes tosses 4 TD passes, Georgetown handles Davidson 38-14

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tim Barnes threw four touchdown passes to help Georgetown handle Davidson 38-14 on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.

Barnes went 25 of 33 for 221 yards while Alex Valles carried 11 times for 96 yards.

Georgetown built a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter on an 18-yard pass from Barnes to Justin Hill, then a 27-yard field goal by Henry Darmstadter. Davidson cut into the deficit, striking from long distance on Stockton McGuire’s 56-yard touchdown pass to Jaris Scott, with 4:15 left in the half.

The Hoyas then went on a quick drive — with Valles’ 53-yard rush eating up much of the field — and made it 17-7 at intermission on Barnes’ 2-yard toss to Justin Harrell.

In the third, Barnes hooked up with Brand Williams from 33 yards, and Hill again from the 5, and the Hoyas cruised from there.

Tailgating Terps: U.Md. (and Penn State) fans gather for showdown

The Friday Night Lights shined over College Park, Maryland, as the Terps (2-1) and the No. 12-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions (3-0) kicked off on Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium, in what was the schools' first conference game of the season. As a Friday night college game is a delicious rarity, it was sold out. Classes were even canceled for the day. And because the opponent was from the neighboring state of (checks notes) Pennsylvania, much of that sold-out crowd were clad in (checks again) blue and white.
