Maryland football stock report: Wolverines steamroll Terps at Byrd Stadium

Maryland hosted No. 22 Michigan on Saturday. It did not go well. The Wolverines were 15-point favorites, but Maryland's defense held the fort long enough that the game had the illusion of competitiveness into the third quarter. Still, Maryland's offense was garish, averaging a worst-in-years 1.7 yards per play. If you can't move the ball, you can't score, and Maryland couldn't move the ball. That meant a heightened burden on Maryland's upstart defense, and the dam eventually broke, because dams usually break when Jim Harbaugh and Michigan game-plan to break them.

Good luck winning when something like this happens against a top-25 team.
