After completing an undefeated month of September, Maryland faces their toughest test of the season thus far when #5 Iowa comes to College Park for a Friday night matchup. This game represents a massive opportunity for the Terrapins to see how their team stacks up against a Top 5 opponent. The Hawkeyes currently hold a 4-0 (1-0) record with victories over Colorado State, Indiana, Iowa State, and Kent State. They're led by Kirk Ferentz, who is in his 23rd season as their head coach.
This is a team led by their defense, who's given up the third-fewest points per game in the country. They've forced 6 interceptions and 3 fumbles through their first four games, and have posted 13 sacks. They're a disciplined, smart football team who is fundamentally strong and typically doesn't beat themselves.
