Maryland football will look to get multiple starters back coming out of a much-needed bye week, but they’ll prepare for another noon kickoff when they head to Evanston to face Northwestern the following weekend.
Maryland’s next game at Northwestern on October 28 will kick off at noon and air on the Big Ten Network, it was announced today. The game will also air on the Maryland Sports Radio Network.
Maryland will look to bounce back for its first win in October when they travel to take on Northwestern, who travels to Nebraska this upcoming weekend.
“Obviously we got a bye week looking at us this week, get some guys healthy back out there guys that we need while also taking a look at all the things we do offensively, defensively, special teams quality control it and get this thing back on track and back in rhythm,” head coach Mike Locksley said following Saturday’s loss. “This thing starts and ends with me as the leader. I’ve got to have our team prepared to go play. We don’t make excuses. We did not play to our standard and it’s frustrating to watch because I still have a lot of faith and belief in his team.”
