Game Preview
On October 14th, at SECU Stadium, the Maryland Terrapins and Illinois Fighting Illini, rivals in the Big Ten, will square off.
So far, the season hasn’t lived up to hopes or preseason anticipation. The Illini frequently make mistakes, stumbles, and squander opportunities. But this coming weekend offers another chance to try performing it effectively. Illinois will take on the Maryland Terrapins in an effort to earn their first conference victory. Illinois just suffered a discouraging 20-7 defeat to the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Luke Altmyer has a passer rating of 64.2% and has run for 172 yards as well as three scores in addition to throwing 1,365 yards, six touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Josh McCray and KJ Feagin both have over 100 rushing yards, while Reggie Love III boasts 257 rushing yards. Pat Bryant leads the club with 231 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns, while three other Illinois receivers have 100+ receiving yards this year. Isaiah Williams leads the squad with a club-high 38 receptions for 503 yards.
For the very first occasion since 2013, Maryland are 5-1 to open the year. One of the couple of FBS programs in the country to do that this campaign, the Terps’s 5-0 beginning represented the program’s first since 2001, prevailing in each of its five matches by 18 points or more.
The Maryland Terrapins enter this game coming off of their first defeat of the year, a 37-17 setback to the Ohio State Buckeyes in their previous game.
