Maryland football’s 2018 has been one unpredictable twist after another, but Saturday almost topped everything that came before it.
The Terps weren’t supposed to beat Texas in the season opener after a tragic, turbulent offseason. They weren’t supposed to get bulldozed by Temple two weeks later. Their early performances in conference play were either better or worse than what should be in the realm of possibility. And after losing two straight games with bowl eligibility on the line, they definitely weren’t supposed to put up much of a fight in their last two games against Ohio State or Penn State.
