Maryland hasn’t played a meaningful football game since last December, but that’s about to change. The Terps open DJ Durkin’s second season at Texas. This is a tough game, and it’s just the start of a season filled with tough games, but after eight months of waiting for the new season, it’s still an exciting time.
The wait to play Texas has been even longer, as the teams’ last meeting came in the 1978 Sun Bown, which the Longhorns won 42-0. This is only the fourth matchup between the programs, with Texas capturing the previous three.
Saturday’s game kicks off at noon ET on FS1.
