2021 opponent preview: Maryland Terrapins
Last season, Maryland was a volatile squad, in five games with a 2-3 record to show for it. They averaged 24 points a game and yielding 32. In their two wins, they scored 45 & 35 points while they put up 3, 11, & 24 in their three losses.
It’s cliche to say turnovers dictated who won & loss when Maryland took the field but it’s cliche because it happens a lot. In their two wins, they limited turnovers to just 2 total, both coming against Minnesota, while their three losses featured nine. They could only muster four takeaways all season for a net TO margin of -7. That won’t get the job done in the Big Ten, or anywhere else, as the -1.4/game ranked 123rd out of 127 teams. Yeash.
