Washington football ‘looking at Cam Newton’ for Week 6 matchup at Maryland

The Washington Huskies (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) will meet the undefeated Maryland Terrapins (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) inside College Park’s SECU Stadium on Saturday. Maryland’s offense is led by true freshman quarterback and hometown hero Malik Washington, who has impressed ahead of his first home game against a Big Ten opponent.

At 6-5 and 233 pounds, Washington is a massive quarterback. And although he’s just a true freshman, the Glen Burie, Md. native has led his Terrapins to four straight wins in which he’s gone 80-of-134 through the air for 1,038 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception.

“You look out there, and it’s like you’re looking at Cam Newton,” Huskies defensive coordinator Ryan Walters said.
