The Illini traveled to the DMV on Saturday for their first ever meeting with Maryland in football. Hopefully the next meeting has a very different outcome, as few fans of either team likely predicted a 63-33 rout by the Terps.
M.J. Rivers: D+
Rivers was knocked out of the game late in the second quarter by Tre Watson, but by that time the Illini were already down 28-9 and the game was getting out of hand. Although his stat line shows he went 3-for-13, he did deliver some good balls that were dropped by his receivers.
