Potentially great news for both Taulia and Maryland. UMD hosts Northwestern this week and has a bye next week before a 3 week stretch of @ Wisconsin, @ PSU and vs OSU. Hopefully Taulia can get healthy before that’s stretch starts so UMD can pull some upsets against PSU and OSU.

A few of you guys really need to brush up on your MGoBoard FAQ. From the section titled Ontopic:

I thought the backup was pretty good (nice scrambler and decent passer) vs. us in the 4Q. Go with him vs. the worst NW team since the early 1980s and give Taulia the full two week off to rest and recover and rehab.

Against Northwestern, I feel like Maryland will be fine without Tagavailoa. Let the kid rest and get the backup(s) some meaningful snaps against a really really bad team. 

NU is 97 in SP+, 103 in FPI, and 118 in the Massey composite.

The OT hawks are gonna kill you for this thread, but I found it informative. Thanks for the update. Very glad it is not season ending as originally speculated.
