Maryland football’s Week 9 matchup against Illinois will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network.
This will end a streak of noon games for the Terps, who have played in that time slot for five of their six games this season and will play No. 19 Iowa at noon Saturday. Maryland’s only non-noon start was in Week 2 at Bowling Green, when the Terps and Falcons kicked off at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+. That means this will be Maryland’s first 3:30 game of the season; the Terps had eight contests kick off at either 3:30 or 4 last year.
