1 month ago | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Zack Kiesel

Following a regular season which saw them finish with a record of 24-7 (14-6 Big Ten Conference), Maryland reached the Big Ten Tournament’s Semifinal Round for the first time since 2016 but failed to advance further after suffering a heartbreaking loss to Michigan.

Nov 2, 2023 | baltimoresportsandlife.com | Zack Kiesel

As Maryland’s football team prepares to face off against #9 Penn State in College Park this weekend, they’ll do so with more questions than answers. Three straight losses, particularly their last two to Illinois and Northwestern, have derailed what began as a very promising season. With four games left on the schedule, they may very well be able to match their seven-win regular season total from last year.
