I would bet Maryland at +14.5 all day. That team has talent, should be a close game

Their QB's are going to give us fits. Should be closer than two touchdowns.

I think their starting QB is out or might be.

It's up in the air right now--they may hold their QB out to rest up for Rutgers (and Maryland's best shot at getting to six wins) and throw one of their backups in. And their QB has been banged up off and on...so resting their starter and focusing on winning vs. Rutgers may be their best strategy for now (remember, they're trying to get the program back on the right track, and going to a bowl is more important than risking their starting QB on a long-shot upset at DoNU.)

 

Here's a Washington Post article I found on the situation, if you'd like to read up on it.

Good article, thanks for sharing, it will be interesting seeing what they do.

 

Before the season I thought we would be "upset" by either Maryland or Indiana but not both. I'd really like to be proven wrong and beat them both.

Glad to be of assistance, guys. And I think we'd have our hands full with a full-strength Maryland...but doubt we'll see that. Just concerned that Maryland could play above themselves as a bounceback for the tOSU loss...

A two score win would be a nice change of pace.

[Redux]

I say both teams agree to play their backup QB in the interest of playing for a more important win the following week.

A Maryland blogger writes on how the Terps can beat NU. No pass rush, we give up too much rushing yards, and our offense is ho hum. By the way what is a Terp anyway.

And all 14 points will be scored in the final 5 minutes... But it's a win.

Who is Mayryland?

[Frustrated]

It's a turtle. a turtle.
