The rain from Hurricane Joaquin that’s expected for Maryland’s game against Michigan on Saturday is nothing new for coach Randy Edsall and the Terps. They’ve already experienced a weather delay in a loss to Bowling Green on Sept. 12. Quarterback Caleb Rowe led Maryland to a rain-soaked win over Virginia two years ago. Even Edsall’s Terps debut more four years ago against Miami was a dreary affair. Byrd Stadium didn’t even have turf then, either.
But the main difficulty from Joaquin, which has a variety of uncertain tracks and projections for its landfall, will probably come from a combination of the elements.
