The Maryland football team is set for its most daunting assignment of the season when it faces top-ranked Oregon on Saturday. Adding to the degree of difficulty for the Terrapins is the travel required to reach Autzen Stadium in Eugene.
Maryland has been planning for the odyssey that will cover more than 2,800 miles across three time zones for months, since the release of the schedule that included Maryland’s first meeting with the Ducks (9-0, 6-0), one of four newcomers from the West Coast to join the Big Ten this season.
