Keys for the Terps

Durkin’s statement on the program: Following a 3-9 season, new head coach DJ Durkin wanted to build a winning program from top to bottom. His first season got off to a promising 4-0 start, highlighted by a 50-7 win over Purdue. However, the team struggled against one of the toughest schedules in the country, losing to Penn State, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, and Nebraska. This game will mean a lot for a fanbase that is still hopeful for the future of its team.

Establishing the run: Running the ball was the driving force behind Maryland’s offense all season long. With Perry Hills’ ailing health, the Terps relied heavily on a run game to keep the offense moving, averaging 205.5 yards per game. On the other hand, Boston College had the fifth best rush defense in the country, allowing only 107 yards per contest.

Boston College players to watch:

Jr. DE Harold Landry- Landry was named to the 2nd team All-ACC this season for posting 15 sacks (tied for the best in the country), a Boston College single-season record. His 20.5 tackles for a loss in a season is the second most in BC’s history. Maryland’s O-line has to be double guarding the speedy outside pass-rusher.

Jr. LB Connor Strachan- As an honorable All-ACC mention, Strachan recorded 70 tackles on the season and ten for a loss. In addition, Strachan has a knack for recovering fumbles. He scooped up four on the season.
