What you need to know about Maryland
The matchup between Maryland and the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Maryland falling 34-16 on the road, it was close to turning into one. Maryland was down 31-10 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. No one had a standout game offensively for Maryland, but it got scores from RB Tayon Fleet-Davis and WR Marcus Fleming.
QB Taulia Tagovailoa may not be the NFL prospect that his older brother Tua is, but the younger Tagovailoa has been among the most prolific quarterbacks in the Big Ten this year. He leads the conference with a 71.1 completion percentage while ranking second in both yards (1,965) and touchdowns (15). But Tagovailoa also has a knack for turning the ball over as he’s thrown a Big Ten-leading eight interceptions as well.
What you need to know about Indiana
Meanwhile, the Hoosiers played a contest they are hoping to forget as they lost a 54-7 blowout to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. IU was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 44-7. Nobody on the team really separated themselves from the pack offensively, but TE Peyton Hendershot scored the team’s lone touchdown.
With injuries sidelining QB Michael Penix Jr., the Hoosiers best offensive player is RB Stephen Carr. A USC transfer, Carr has 452 rushing yards, 79 receiving yards and five total touchdowns. He has two 100-yard rushing games this season after having just one over his four years with the Trojans.
