Our weekly outlook piece on the Maryland football program, between a win against Richmond and a challenge against Bowling Green.
In its season opener against Richmond on Saturday, the Maryland football team recovered nicely from an altogether ugly first half. The Terrapins led by just two points against an FCS squad through 29 minutes, but a Malcolm Culmer catch-and-run touchdown was a sort of line of demarcation from that mediocrity. They out-gained Richmond four to one (120 to 32) in the third quarter outscored the Spiders 28-7 for the half, turning an iffy showing into the blowout it was supposed to be.
