In 2017, the Terps were led by head coach D.J. Durkin, in his second season at Maryland, and to say it was a bad year was an understatement. Let’s start with the actual football. The Terrapins did defeat their first two opponents, No. 23 Texas and Towson but lost to UCF before picking up a win against Minnesota. Maryland went on to lose their next three to then No. 10 Ohio State, Northwestern and then No. 5 Wisconsin. Maryland beat Indiana but lost their next four games to Rutgers, No. 21 Michigan, No. 22 Michigan State and finally lost 66-3 to No.
