Maryland opens their 2021 season with a nationally televised rivalry matchup on Saturday afternoon. They haven't played the Mountaineers since 2015, but were supposed to face off against them in Morgantown last year before COVID-19 wrecked those plans. Unlike the typical offensive juggernaut West Virginia teams of old, this squad is built on their stellar defense.
They finished last season with a 6-4 (4-4) record in Neal Brown's second year as head coach, and beat Army in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. In the AP Preseason Poll they received some votes, essentially ranking them as the #41 team in the country.
