Iowa vs Maryland: Preview

Iowa is a 6.5-point favorite and the over/under is set at 46 points.

The Hawkeyes had an open week last week following their loss to the Bruins despite leading 10-0 after the first quarter.

“No, it’s got nothing to do with the field," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said on Nov. 10, via SI. "We just didn’t play well. Nothing about the trip. The trip wasn’t that hard and we’ve played in whatever, four night games and we’ve got another one coming. There are no excuses at all. We just didn’t play well enough."

Iowa is led by Brendan Sullivan who has thrown for 344 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Kaleb Johnson has rushed for 1,328 yards and 20 TDs, while Jacob Gill has 336 receiving yards and two TDs.

Defensively, the Hawkeyes are led by Jay Higgins, Quinn Schulte and Jermari Harris who all have three interceptions, Aaron Graves has five sacks and Higgins leads the team with 98 tackles.

Meanwhile, Maryland has struggled this season and has lost three straight games.

"We didn't get it done today and we're running out of chances and opportunities and we've got to find a way to get this thing fixed," Terrapins coach Mike Locksley said on Saturday, via Insider The Black & Gold. "Iowa's coming here next week off of a bye week, so it's going to be important for us to get back in here, figure out how to get us going again. For right now, it's all about our seniors.

"You think of this group, they've led our program the last three, four, five years these guys have been here. Our mission is to send them out the right way. We've got two opportunities that are guaranteed left and we need to find a way to get it going again for our seniors and finish it off the right way for them.”

The Terrapins are led by Billy Edwards Jr. who has thrown for 2,855 yards, 15 TDs and nine interceptions. Roman Hemby has 524 rushing yards and six TDs and Tai Felton leads the team with 1,040 yards and seven TDs.

Defensively, Maryland is led by Glendon Miller and Jalen Huskey's three interceptions, Caleb Wheatland and Kellan Wyatt's three sacks and Ruben Hyppolite II's 47 tackles.

Iowa should be able to play well defensively, limit Maryland's offense and edge out a win. The Hawkeyes will likely use the run game often in this game.
