Maryland heads on the road for the first time in 2023, opening Big Ten play at Michigan State. Here’s this week’s Terps Top Three notebook for Saturday’s game with the Spartans.
Maryland heads on the road for the first time this season when it opens Big Ten play at Michigan State on Saturday.Maryland will have a chance to win at Michigan State for the first time since joining the Big Ten in 2014. After a 3-0 homestand, the Terrapins boast the conference’s best offense in terms of yards per game and third-best scoring offense .
Maryland coach Mike Locksley expects Michigan State to be more of the team it was to start the season and not the recent version after being engulfed in Tucker’s sexual harassment scandal. The Terrapins also boast the Big Ten’s best third-down conversion percentage , but the Spartans best-in-the-nation third-down defense will be the biggest test to date of how good Maryland’s offense really is.
“We know how many full speed yardage, how much high volume,” Locksley said. “So when we study our GPS’s from a week ago to a year ago — game four — we usually put the data together, we correlate it and see where it was different. If we see a guy’s not hitting the high-speed yardage in the daily practice that we normally have. Those are all signs of fatigue.”Games on grass are becoming fewer and farther between for the Terrapins.
Though Maryland home games are on artificial turf, the Terrapins practice on both each week — three days outside on grass and one day on the indoor FieldTurf at the team’s Jones-Hill House facility.
