After losing to Michigan State last weekend, Maryland returns to College Park for their final home game of the 2021 season as they host #6 Michigan for Senior Day on Saturday afternoon. The Wolverines currently hold a record of 9-1 (6-1 Big Ten Conference), with their only loss coming to the Spartans. They've won their last two straight games against Indiana and Penn State.

 

While Michigan State's pass defense ranked as the worst in the country last week, Michigan's has been one of the nation's best. As a whole, their defense has vastly improved under former Baltimore Ravens assistant and first-year defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, as they're currently allowing the 4th-fewest points in the country.

 

Michigan is currently favored by 15 points in this game.

As expected, Michigan stays put at #6 in this week’s CFP Poll.

They almost won in 2018 with OSU focused on the OSU-Michigan game the next week so if you're gonna play Michigan or OSU, this seems like the ideal week to do it

BSL: 5 Thoughts Before Maryland/Michigan

https://baltimorespo...yland-michigan/

[BSLChrisStoner]

3rd and 5 incomplete for Michigan.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Getting Michigan into those third-and-medium/long situations will be key today.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Out to Carlos for a 1st.

[BSLChrisStoner]

TFD nice carry for 14.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Lots of time to throw, but batted down at the line. 

 

3rd and 5.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Sure, 3rd and 5 lets run the screen. Ugh.

 

4th and 4.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Petrino misses from 48.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Damn, good start but couldn’t convert.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Would’ve preferred to see them go for it there on fourth down. Petrino has been so inconsistent the last three years, can’t really rely on him whatsoever.

[BSLRoseKatz]

Pretty underwhelming aggression for playing a top 10 team

[BSLChrisStoner]

3rd and 2 picked up for Michigan. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Wolverines at the MD 29. 

Flags out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Was PI on MD. 

Nice tackle on 1st. Hyppolte.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Michigan converts their 3rd and 10 swing. 1st and Goal.

[BSLChrisStoner]

TD Michigan.

[BSLChrisStoner]

MD starts their drive with a flag.
