When Maryland football coach Mike Locksley was asked Tuesday about the impact a victory over No. 5 Iowa would have on his program, he said without hesitation that the Terps are just taking things one day at a time.
“We aren’t even there yet, to be honest,” Locksley said. “We don’t talk a lot about winning around here. We focus more on Monday through Friday, making sure that we have a winning routine. What happens on game day, we will deal with and live with those results.”
Locksley and the Terps might not admit it, but Friday night’s matchup against the Hawkeyes at Capital One Field is the program’s biggest game since he took over as head coach in 2019.
