Maryland air attack could have its hands full vs. Syracuse pass rush on Saturday

We’ve talked plenty about what may decide Saturdays game between the Syracuse Orange and Maryland Terrapins, and obviously SU’s defensive line is among the first factors to note.

Syracuse set a program record for sacks in a single season last year, and is already off to a roaring start in 2019, tallying eight last week against Liberty. Now against Maryland, a strong running team that wants to pass more, their ability to get into the backfield is likely to dictate the game.

The Washington Post talked about the Terps’ new-look air attack this week, and its results in week one against Howard.
