Maryland football is officially eligible for a bowl game in 2021.
That’s a statement that wasn’t necessarily a sure thing heading into Saturday’s regular season finale against Rutgers, but the Terps pulled out the massive road win to hit the six-win mark this season. Maryland ends the regular season with an even 6-6 record after defeating the Scarlet Knights, 40-16.
The Terps are now eligible for a bowl game for the first time since 2016.
“I’m really proud, obviously, of our team. It’s been a long season for us,” head coach Michael Locksley said. “We very rarely talk about injuries and we don’t make excuses, for our team to come up, put it together today, I think all three phases contributed in some form or fashion.
