This week at Testudo Times, we’re taking an in-depth look at Maryland’s schedule as the college football season approaches. It’s another tough slate, checking in as the 17th-toughest in the country, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.
Maryland opens their season against Howard and Syracuse before visiting Temple to end non-conference play. After a bye week, the Terps open Big Ten play by hosting Penn State and traveling to Rutgers and Purdue. Conference play continues with a home game against Indiana, a trip to Minnesota and a homecoming date with Michigan.
