After suffering their fourth consecutive loss against Indiana in College Park over the weekend, Maryland will travel up to Piscataway for a matchup against Rutgers on Saturday afternoon. The Scarlet Knights currently hold a record of 4-5 (1-5), and have lost five of their last six games including their most recent one against Illinois in Champaign. Their lone conference victory came against Purdue in West Lafayette two weeks ago.

 

Maryland is 12-8 all-time against Rutgers, but lost their matchup last season by a score of 31-17. They haven't lost a game in Piscataway since 2017.

 

Rutgers opens as 1.5-point favorites. ESPN gives them a 53.1% chance to win.

How bad would it have to get for them to consider moving on from Locksley?

Based on Jim Smith's "vote of confidence" comments recently, my gut says they don't have the money to buy him out right now. If they lose out, maybe a booster (or group of boosters) steps up.

OL Alan Herron, DL Eyan Thomas, and LB Darius Grimes will serve as the team's captains for this game.

WR Ryan Manning, OL Jaylen Gilchrist, DL Neeo Avery, DL Bryce Jenkins, DL Dimitry Nicolas, and DB Lloyd Irvin III are officially listed as out for this game.

73-yard rushing TD for Malik on the option!

[BSLZackKiesel]

Big INT for Lavain Scruggs at the goal line!

[BSLZackKiesel]

Malik already well over 100 rushing yards early in the second quarter.

[BSLZackKiesel]

What a throw and catch from Malik to Kaleb Webb on that TD. Wow.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Maryland had a whopping 238 rushing yards in that first half, but trail Rutgers 21-17.

Delay of game on a field goal attempt lol. Just so badly coached, over and over.

[glenn__davis]

Please fire him.

Rutgers wins, 35-20. Maryland loses their fifth straight game, falling to 4-5 on the season.

Any hopes of a bowl game are all but gone, with games against Illinois, Michigan State, and Michigan remaining on the schedule.

I don't think they'll win another game.

They’ll let him play out the string I think but if he’s coaching opening day next year I’ll be shocked.
