Coming off a 3-9 season, a trip to the Quick Lane bowl is an obvious step forward for the Maryland Terrapins.
Sure, they didn’t beat a single winning team this season. And, sure, after a 4-0 start, they went 2-8 and grew colder than a December day in Detroit. But after a quick glance at Big Ten “rival” Rutgers (2-10) -- who actually won more games than Maryland last season -- there’s no denying coach D.J. Durkin has this team on the right track.
Now, the only question is whether Durkin can guide the Terps to a win over Boston College in what would be their first postseason win since 2010.
