The sixth game of the season will be Michigan’s first contest against a Big Ten East foe, kicking off head coach Jim Harbaugh’s fourth circuit against the division.
Maryland stole the first conference matchup between the two squads back in 2014, but the scales have tipped heavily since then.
Harbaugh enters Saturday with a 3-0 record against the Terrapins, with every victory spanning at least a four-possession margin. The two sides have looked quite unmatched in their recent outings, and that trend is likely to continue this weekend. As a 17-point favorite, Michigan’s real challenge is bouncing back from last week’s near defeat with a convincing start-to-finish performance.
