Indiana Football: Big Ten Predictions

Maryland – Record 2-8

Wins – Northwestern, Rutgers

Loss – Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan State, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan Wisconsin, Iowa

The Terrapins showed they could score some points early in 2019 but then they just fell apart. Injuries didn’t help and they should be helped by the return of Jeshaun Jones, who busted onto the scene as a freshman two years ago. He was lost last year to a torn ACL but is back and will help bring some explosiveness on the offensive side of the ball.

The probably for Maryland like so many of the bottom teams in the Big Ten is how well will their defense play. They struggled for much of last year and honestly look like they quit in a lot of games. It doesn’t help matters that they are stuck in the Big Ten East. There just aren’t a lot of wins for them this year. They may win more than two games but I think their ceiling is four and that might be pushing it.

The Terrapins play Iowa instead of Illinois who we originally guessed they would play. They actually had a better chance to beat Illinois than Iowa. They will be better this year and if they won four games it wouldn’t shock us. They might be the toughest team to project because of injuries last year.
