Maryland football hosts Temple on Saturday, Oct. 15 at Maryland Stadium. The Terps played their first game of the season — a win over Texas, as you might recall — at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, so this makes Saturday’s game Maryland’s home opener.
The team on the other side is one that befits a home opener for Maryland. That’d be the Temple Owls, who ride to College Park with an 0-2 record after losses to Villanova (an FCS team) and Buffalo. The spread, which opened at Maryland -11, now favors the Terps by 16.
Maryland’s coming off a 45-14 win over Bowling Green that was much closer than that final score for three quarters.
