Maryland’s 4-0 Terps Host Washington on Saturday in Big Ten Test

Pressure on the quarterbacks looms with Maryland’s freshman pass rush facing a Washington line likely without standout left tackle Carver Willis.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday, Oct. 4 at 12:30 p.m. PT on Big Ten Network from SECU Stadium in College Park.
  • True freshman QB Malik Washington powers Maryland’s pass-first attack with 1,038 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception, thriving on clean pockets and deep shots.
  • Maryland’s defense has piled up 16 sacks and eight interceptions with a top-10 scoring mark, though six picks came against FAU and production dipped versus Wisconsin.
  • Washington enters 3-1 after a 24-6 loss to No. 1 Ohio State and leads the conference in third-down conversion rate at 60.9%.
  • UW starting LT Carver Willis is doubtful and ex-Terp Maximus McCree is expected to fill in, a matchup Maryland’s edge rushers Sidney Stewart and Zahir Mathis could target.
