Maryland football needs two wins in its final three games to become bowl eligible. In all likelihood, its best chance to get one comes Saturday against Rutgers at SECU Stadium.
Rutgers has lost four of its last five games and hasn’t looked like the same team late in the season. After Rutgers, Maryland has Iowa and No. 4 Penn State — two opponents top-five in the Big Ten standings.
