The Nebraska Cornhuskers will look to bounce back from their first loss since September this weekend when they host Big Ten East opponent, the Maryland Terrapins.
Saturday’s matchup will mark just the third meeting all-time between the two programs. The other pair of meetings came in 2016 and 2019, both wins for the Cornhuskers including a 54-7 beatdown of the Terrapins in College Park in 2019.
The Cornhuskers enter this week tied for second in the Big Ten West with a 5-4 overall record and 3-3 record in conference play. As mentioned above, the Huskers are coming off their first setback in over a month, falling last weekend to Michigan State in East Lansing.
Maryland, on the other hand, are losers of four straight including a 51-15 loss to Penn State last Saturday. After suffering their first loss of the season in October to Ohio State, Maryland has been put into a tailspin with little answers for their struggles through the last month.
Now that the table has been set, here’s what to know about the Terrapins ahead of Saturday’s matchup.
