It’s no secret that Maryland football’s last two losses, which came against then-No. 5 Iowa and then-No. 7 Ohio State, stemmed from the nagging injuries the roster has been facing recently.
Maryland has been a depleted team on the defensive side of the ball as of late. Freshman linebacker Branden Jennings hasn’t played since exiting during the win over Kent State back on Sept. 25. Defensive backs Jakorian Bennett and Kenny Bennett, who were absent in the Terps’ 66-17 loss to the Buckeyes, are still on the mend and will be game-time decisions before Saturday’s game against Minnesota.
