Following a 34-7 romp over Rutgers during last weekend’s Homecoming game, Maryland football heads to Iowa for a real challenge. The Terps face the surprising No. 19 Iowa Hawkeyes, who sit at 5-1 but haven’t beaten a ranked team yet this season.
Maryland will be looking for its first road win over a ranked conference opponent since 2008. If the Terps want to earn an AP top 25 ranking, this would be a great resume-boosting win.
The Terps, who are 17th in rushing offense, face the challenge of going against Iowa’s No. 3 rushing defense. If Iowa’s defense lives up to its billing, Maryland may need to rely on Kasim Hill’s arm more than usual on Saturday.
