The Maryland football team started fast, but had to earn a narrow win over Saint Peter’s on Saturday.
After a unconvincing victory, the Terrapins welcome a program that coach Mark Turgeon knows very well to College Park.
Jacksonville State travels to the Xfinity Center on Monday for Maryland’s second-to-last nonconference tune-up. The Gamecocks were the first heading coaching job that Turgeon had after spending several years as an assistant.
Turgeon accumulated a 25-29 (15-19) record in two seasons at the school. After that period, the Maryland coach accepted the head coaching position at Wichita State, where he remained for the following seven seasons.
