Maryland football’s final test before the bulk of its Big Ten slate is Villanova. The Wildcats are ranked No. 5 at the FCS level, and present a unique challenge for the Terps.
Maryland comes off a dominating second-half performance on the road against Virginia with plenty of confidence. This week’s contest should be a tune-up game for the Terps before entering conference play. Villanova is very talented for the FCS level, though, and could present a threat if it can execute its scheme and take advantage of Maryland mistakes.
The Terps will wear red jerseys and red helmets against the Wildcats.
