Saunders Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Quote CollegeFootballNews: 5 Things You Need To Know About Maryland & Season Prediction Winning early is a must with a brutal November with Michigan, at Ohio State, Nebraska and at Michigan State. Just winning one of those would be massive, but that means at least five wins have to come in the first eight games to go bowling. The Terps will beat Howard, and if they’re any good, they should beat Indiana at home and Temple and Rutgers on the road – but that’s just four wins. They’ll come up with a Texas-like upset somewhere along the way, and they’ll get that one extra win they couldn’t generate last season to get to six and bowl eligibility. And then expect a much bigger 2020. https://collegefootballnews.com/2019/05/maryland-football-preview-prediction-players-2019 Quote The Athletic: As Maryland football moves forward, it looks to the past for inspiration Almost exactly one year ago, a 19-year-old offensive lineman named Jordan McNair collapsed during an offseason conditioning workout at the University of Maryland. Less than two weeks later, he died, ultimately from heatstroke suffered that fateful day — but it took many months and multiple investigations for actual transparency about the events surrounding May 29, 2018, and the culture surrounding them to emerge. Following a long administrative leave and a very brief reinstatement — followed by 24 hours of intense backlash and political pressure — head football coach D.J. Durkin lost his job for good at the end of October. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada served as the team’s interim head coach throughout a most tumultuous season, leading a group of players still grieving their teammate to a 5-7 record. Canada did interview for the full-time gig after the season, but Maryland athletic director Damon Evans chose Alabama assistant and Broyles Award winner Mike Locksley instead. https://theathletic.com/989731/2019/05/24/maryland-football-2019-schedule-roster-depth-chart/ Quote Athlon: #65 Maryland Terrapins Season Preview and Prediction Enthusiasm for Maryland football had to take a redshirt season last year. The tragic death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair at a team workout cast a long shadow all season. Third-year coach DJ Durkin was suspended and ultimately dismissed; medical practices were scrutinized and revamped; and a local son — Mike Locksley — has been brought home to restore trust in the Terrapin brand. Locksley — yes, yes, his career record as a head coach is 3-31 — quickly proved to be the right man for the job. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/maryland-football-terrapins-prediction-preview-2019 More to come... 1 Quote Link to comment

Xmas32 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm sure there are several other teams but dang if Maryland doesn't seem to suffer more than their fair share of season ending injuries to key offensive players. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pedro G Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Like any Big team, N can’t take them lightly. They beat a more talented Texas team last year. Quote Link to comment

You can make that prediction for literally any team. I think Maryland will be below .500 and get rolled by the Huskers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Definitely better than expected though Yep improved team but let's see where they are after going through a B1G schedule. You just hope Nebraska improves over the coming months where it won't matter as much. Terps look good though. 1 Quote Link to comment
