2021 Opponent Snapshot: Maryland Terrapins

When Maryland opened their season with a 43-3 pasting at the hands of Northwestern, it seemed like it was going to be a rough one similar to 2019’s 3-9 season that saw the Terps outmatched on both sides of the ball throughout Big Ten play. However, back-to-back wins over Minnesota and Penn State suddenly thrust the Terps into unfamiliar territory as a team gaining some semblance of expectations. After COVID helped get three of their games canceled, Maryland would only go on to play at Indiana and Rutgers, dropping them both to finish 2-3, denying head coach Mike Locksley a shot at his first-ever winning record.
