Previewing 2016 Maryland Football

True to predictions, Maryland did break out to a 4-0 start this season and even got the upset they needed against Michigan State (28-17) to put themselves within striking range of a bowl game. All they need is a victory in their last two games (against the Huskers and a home game against Rutgers) to become bowl eligible. Decent bounceback season with a new coach, right?

The last two weeks have been a little rough, to put it mildly. A 59-3 loss to Michigan followed by a 62-3 loss to Ohio State has the Terrapins, well, turtling. Senior quarterback Perry Hills has been knocked out of both games when he aggravated a shoulder injury originally suffered against Central Florida. When he’s played, Hills has had decent numbers, completing 67% of his passes for ten touchdowns with just three interceptions. Hills is averaging just 127 yards passing a game and rushing for 14 more. When Hills was knocked out of last week’s game, senior Caleb Rowe replaced him in the first half and freshman Tyrrell Pigrome played the second half. Pigrome is a dual threat quarterback who completes 53% of his passes and averages 3.8 yards a rush. Rowe also completes 53% of his passes, but isn’t a threat to run (losing 13 yards on nine carries).
