Iowa @ Maryland on FS1 at 8pm tonight! Who ya got?
Some decent games tonight but one in particular has my eye. Maryland is on Michigan's schedule late in the season and many of us believe that game to be a trap game of sorts as it is sandwiched between PSU and OSU. Plus Maryland's offense looks to be legit, especially that passing game. Taulia Tagovailoa leads the Big Ten in passing yards, touchdowns, and only has 1 interception on the season. They only beat Illinois by 3 but I watched that game and they moved the ball up and down the field on that team but kept shooting themselves in the foot with mental errors or turnovers. They could have and should have won that game by more than 3 points.
Anyway, my point is I'm smelling an upset tonight. Iowa might be the weakest top 5 team in history and this game a home game for the Terps. Right now the line is -3 to Iowa and if I were a betting man I'd put all my money on Maryland for the win.
Am I too excited for a Friday night Big Ten game? Probably. Do I care? No. I think it's going to be a good game with a great atmosphere and I'm going to watch as many of those kinds of games as I can this year since last year was so dreadful in that regard. Lets go Terps!

Beaten to the board by 10 minutes...
That's what I get for writing so much. Mods feel free to delete.

Looks like the other one got deleted. Thanks mods.
So far this has the feel of a high scoring game to me. Both offenses are moving the ball well. Maryland went down the field pretty quick with a couple long passes and Iowa has passed the ball a lot more than they normally do. Surprising considering Goodson is running all over this defense.

... I guess Tualia decided to make up for lost time with all the INTs...
Jeez he was bad in this one. Just straight up missed on so many throws.
October 1st, 2021 at 7:53 PM ^
I like turtles
October 1st, 2021 at 7:57 PM ^
When I was jogging through the park this afternoon I came across a turtle, the biggest one I'd seen in a long time. No hawks in sight he was free to roam. Must be an omen for sure.
October 1st, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
I bet the farm on Iowa -3. No pun intended...
Based on my overall gambling record this year - probably a great time for all y'all to bet on Maryland!!! :)
October 1st, 2021 at 10:05 PM ^
I couldn't believe the line was only Iowa -3. I put down my biggest bet I've ever placed on college football.
October 1st, 2021 at 7:59 PM ^
Does Maryland beats themselves? Reply hazy, try again.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:16 PM ^
Haziness cleared... they do beat themselves and suck!
October 1st, 2021 at 8:00 PM ^
This is an underrated game and both teams might be looking ahead to next week.
Iowa has beat two ranked teams and Maryland has the better stats so it's a tough call, game will be a good one this early in the season.
Gun to my head, I would take Iowa and the points.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:04 PM ^
It wouldn’t shock me to see the Terps win this. I’m not sold on Iowa this year.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:12 PM ^
I'm not sold on Iowa any year.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:05 PM ^
I mean there's only 3 teams to ever be sold on.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:08 PM ^
Come on guys. Just take the yard on the ground.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:12 PM ^
I'll take the Hawkeyes. Maryland should find a way to lose.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:14 PM ^
I can’t think of a single time the ol’ “draw ‘em offsides on 4th down” thing actually worked.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:18 PM ^
Especially when it's Ferentz.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:16 PM ^
I'm thinking Iowa, so bet the farm on Maryland.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:16 PM ^
I get trying to get the d to go offside. Why waste a timeout? Just take the 5 yards .
October 1st, 2021 at 8:20 PM ^
Well, this is what I meant by asking will Maryland beat themselves.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:22 PM ^
Ferentz has been around 23 years at IOWA? Wow.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:29 PM ^
Lloyd is still upset that he didn't end up at Michigan.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:26 PM ^
Damn near a pick 6
October 1st, 2021 at 8:28 PM ^
"Tarheeps"
October 1st, 2021 at 8:28 PM ^
Iowa QB is not very accurate
October 1st, 2021 at 8:32 PM ^
Is the Maryland beer girl in attendance?
October 1st, 2021 at 8:58 PM ^
Whoever that girl marries, we know who wears the pants in that relationship.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:42 AM ^
She's in shorts....
(but wow nevertheless)
October 1st, 2021 at 8:32 PM ^
OMG Maryland is wearing all black and it's a black out.
How will the QB ever see the WRs?!
Swear to God those on this board acting like we couldn't wear maize during the maize out had to be trolling, because no one could be that dumb.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:18 PM ^
Maryland is that dumb. They’re making this feel like a home game for Iowa, a team whose primary color is black.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:38 PM ^
Taulia looking good.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:15 PM ^
This one didn't age well.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
Cheezus! Great comment, you should have saved it for tomorrow. Either way, it was gouda.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:38 PM ^
Okonkwo scores. Things fall apart for the Iowa defense.
EDIT: no one got this reference? Come on guys.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
Freshman Year. For some reason, that book was so slow.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:39 PM ^
It’s sad how much more creative Maryland’s offense is than Michigan’s.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:44 PM ^
And yet we average more YPP
October 1st, 2021 at 8:54 PM ^
Sweet. UM got shut out by Rutgers in the 2nd half with more 3 and outs than 1st downs.
Would be nice to be more creative.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:55 PM ^
Maryland almost lost to Illinois. Yay.
I've never seen a fanbase overvalue one half of football as much as this past game. But we are talking about Michigan fans.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:39 PM ^
Michigan needs to run something similar to Marylands offense
October 1st, 2021 at 8:51 PM ^
No kidding! Remember when Enos was our OC for a hot minute? Yeah, this is more diverse than what we have
October 1st, 2021 at 10:08 PM ^
This didn't age well.
October 2nd, 2021 at 12:09 AM ^
Minus the SIX interceptions.
Taulia ≠ Tua
October 2nd, 2021 at 12:12 AM ^
Apparently Michigan needs to run something similar to Iowa's offense.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:42 PM ^
Maryland's offense looks fun. I am hoping we will see a fun offense tomorrow for Michigan.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:10 PM ^
Eh, turning it over every possession gets old after a while.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:48 AM ^
Yet they lost 51-14
October 1st, 2021 at 8:47 PM ^
I have a daughter named Beatrice, and it sounds so much like she's playing QB for Iowa.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:53 PM ^
Ha. The announcers say it that way for sure.
