The Maryland Terrapins are fresh off a Pinstripe Bowl win over Virginia Tech and finished the 2021 season with seven wins. Their offense was potent against average teams but struggled against the top teams in the Big Ten.
The Terps bring back Taulia Tagovailoa, who should earn all-conference honors this season. This team can be very dangerous if the receiving corps stays healthy. On the flip side, Maryland’s defense struggles. They finished 13th in the conference in scoring defense in 2021, and the outlook for 2022 isn’t much higher than that. The schedule sets up well for another bowl run as they draw Purdue, Northwestern, and Wisconsin out of the West and have a non-conference slate that should lead to three wins.
