Coming off of a much needed bye week after back-to-back big losses, Maryland football has a chance to get back in the win column when they play Minnesota on Saturday. After starting the season 4-0, Maryland dropped two straight to ranked opponents to fall to 4-2. What was once a full speed ahead locomotive now sits at a crossroads with six games remaining. Facing a Golden Gophers team that also…

COLUMBUS, Ohio — On fourth and one, C.J. Stroud took the snap and unloaded a pass deep towards the end zone. Wideout Chris Olave contorted his body, locating the ball despite being held by Tarheeb Still to reel in one of nine Ohio State touchdowns on the afternoon.  This sequence was a microcosm of a tough day for Maryland’s defense, which gave up 598 yards of offense en route to…

After dropping its first game of the season, Maryland football faces another tall task as they go on the road to face No. 7 Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday. Following the loss of Dontay Demus Jr. after a season-ending knee injury in the second quarter against Iowa, Maryland will lean on the rest of their wide receiver room to make up the loss. Demus Jr. had gotten off to…

Trailing 10-7, Dontay Demus Jr. fielded the Iowa kickoff. The Terps’ standout was tackled low, suffering a leg injury and fumbling the ball in the process to kickstart a woeful evening for coach Mike Locksley’s squad. Despite a packed home crowd, Maryland football saw their undefeated run end, as they fell to No. 5 Iowa, 51-14. “Obviously disappointed. Disappointed for our fans, for our supporters and for our team,” Head…

Taulia Tagovailoa faked a handoff, rolled right and delivered a strike to Corey Dyches, who reached paydirt from nine yards out. Tagovailoa’s strike was the peak of a dazzling three-touchdown performance for the junior, who threw for 384 yards on the afternoon. Despite some early mishaps, Maryland handled Kent State, beating the Golden Flashes, 37-16 to improve to 4-0 for the first time since 2016. “We could have played better,…

Maryland football looks to stay undefeated as they take on Kent State in the first ever matchup between the schools. Coming off of an impressive 20-17 come-from-behind victory over Illinois, the Terps will close out their non-conference schedule ahead of resuming Big Ten play next week. A win would make Maryland 4-0 for the first time since 2016, when they finished the year 6-7 and appeared in the Quick Lane Bowl….

Taulia Tagovailoa stood in the shotgun, took the snap, and fired a strike to Rakim Jarrett, setting up Joseph Petrino’s game-winning field goal. Lining up from 32 yards away for the third time in the game, Petrino’s kick squeezed just inside the right upright and Maryland football shocked the Illini in front of a home crowd. “[Joseph] Petrino is a guy that we [have] a lot of faith in,” Head…

Following two home wins to open their 2021 season, Maryland football will head to Champaign, Illinois, to face the Fighting Illini as they kick off their Big Ten schedule. It will be the first ever trip to Champaign for the Terps after they joined the Big Ten in 2014. The Terps and the Illini have faced off once before, a 63-33 Maryland win in College Park in 2018.  “It starts…

Rakim Jarrett caught a quick slant, turned up field and found paydirt from 36 yards out and extended Maryland’s lead to 45-0 early in the third quarter, ending the night for Maryland’s starting offense.   The Terps picked up right where they left off against West Virginia, finding the endzone eight times and knifing through the Howard Defense like butter from start to finish in an utterly dominant 62-0 victory…

A week removed from defeating West Virginia to kick off its 2021-22 season, Maryland football will look to move to 2-0 with a matchup against the Howard Bison at Capital One Field Saturday night. “Always special to host a local team like Howard,” Head Coach Mike Locksley said. “[Howard Head Coach] Larry Scott is one of my good friends in this business. I’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for…
