Maryland will play UCLA in its first-ever game in the hallowed Rose Bowl on Saturday, and the cross-country journey requires more checklists than an extended family vacation and a lot of adaptation for a team ingrained in routine. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...

After two-straight games in which his team has given up a fourth quarter lead, Maryland coach Mike Locksley is leaving no stone unturned in trying to find an answer to the Terps’ poor finishes as they head west to UCLA. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...

In a game full of more momentum swings than a boat in a raging sea, it was Nebraska who steadied the tide as Maryland, once again holding a late-game lead, was washed ashore. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...

Malik Washington offers another Bible verse as he departs the podium this week - Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Maryland coach Mike Locksley: One heck of a college football game...obviously hurts for everyone in our locker room."

FINAL: Nebraska 34 Maryland 31 Raiola 20-29, 260, 4TD, 3INT Washington 27-37, 249, TD An entertaining game throughout. Opportunities in the margins cost the Terps, esp. on special teams. Maryland is 4-2, 1-2 in the B1G, and will fly west to face resurgent UCLA next week.

Dylan Raiola hits Dane Key with a 3-yard goal-line fade in coverage, and the Huskers take the lead, 34-31. 68 seconds left for Maryland.

Dylan Raiola, I mean... He's making Favreian throws on this drive that are ending up in the hands of Nebraska receivers. Huskers in the red zone with 2:17 to try and take the lead.

END Q3: Maryland 31, Nebraska 24 A wild quarter features two Terps TDs to take the lead. Dylan Raiola's three picks today are more than double his season total (2). Lot of talk last week about only playing three quarters. Can Maryland close this one differently?

Holy cow. Raiola is picked off by Dontay Joyner. Threw it right to him. 67 yards to the HOUSE. Terps now up 30-24, midway through the third.

HALFTIME: Nebraska 24, Maryland 17 Raiola 128yds, 3TD, 2INT Hunter 2 rec, 76yds, 2TD Washington 152yds, TD Ray 76 all purpose yds, RUSH TD A raging sea of momentum changes in that quarter. Six UMD penalties for 82 yards in the half, incl’d. 3 unsportsmanlike.

Railoa throws his third TD of the day and second Nyziah Hinter, a pretty ball to the near corner. Hunter beats Jamare Glasker in coverage. 24-14 Huskers.

On second down, Dylan Railoa has all day, rolls right and finds TE Luke Lindenmeyer (looks like a fullback) in the far corner of the end zone for another Nebraska TD. Huskers back up 17-14.

Malik Washington hits TE Leon Haughton from 21-yards out in coverage for a Maryland touchdown, his 10th passing TD of the season. Maryland has erased the 10-point deficit and leads 14-10, 8:25 to go til halftime.

And the Terps' momentum builds - Messiah Delhomme just stole that ball from Nebraska WR Jacory Braney for his first career INT. Maryland at the Husker 33.

Longest rush of the season! Terps RB Nolan Ray off tackle for a 28-yard touchdown. 39 rushing yards on that Maryland drive. Nebraska leads 10-7.

END Q1: Nebraska 7, Maryland 0 Terps unable to get anything going but remain in striking distance. Only 7 (sack-adj) yards rushing in the quarter. Zahir Mathis bats down a third down pass from Raiola as the quarter expires.

A friction point for Maryland today: Terps are last on offense in the Big Ten on third downs, converting only 36.5% of the time. Nebraska is the second best in the league and top five in the nation in third down defense at 21.9%.

First play of the second Nebraska drive is a screen pass left to Nyziah Hunter, and he makes half a dozen Terps miss as he hits the jets down the left sideline for a 64 yard TD. Impressive speed. 7-0 Huskers, midway through the first.

If Maryland is to beat Nebraska on Saturday — or any Big Ten team the rest of the season, for that matter — it will require some semblance of a ground game. Whatever the Terps are currently presenting out of their backfield doesn’t even reach that definition. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...

Maryland is picked to finish 13th in the unofficial Big Ten preseason men’s basketball poll, released this morning. Terps ranged from 5th to 15th among the 28th voters; I selected them to finish 9th. Poll organized by The Columbus Dispatch/Indy Star: t.co/jkBT2rAFn3

There’s a thin margin of error between a season that slides into a tail spin and one that stabilizes after encountering a major speed bump. After an inconceivable loss to Washington, Maryland is confronting that edge this week against Nebraska.  www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...

Maryland’s Week 8 game at the Rose Bowl against UCLA on Oct. 18 will kick off at 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific and air on FS1.

So many times before when presented with a prime chance to change the perception around its program, Maryland has frittered away the opportunity. A blown 20-point lead Saturday vs. Washington was the latest verse in an all-too-familiar song. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...

Maryland coach Mike Locksley: "We're a young, talented, inexperienced team ... today is the first day [we didn't make corrections]"

FINAL: Washington 24 Maryland 20 Terps blow a 20-0 mid-third quarter lead and look feckless late in another post-bye loss under Mike Locksley, now 0-10. UMD had won 26-straight games with a lead after the third quarter. With such a buildup, one of the worst losses in his tenure

Jalil Farooq drops what would've been a 30-plus yard gain or even a touchdown on third down. Then on fourth and 8, Washington's pass is nearly intercepted. Turnover on downs. Huskies ball.

Maryland's 20-0 lead is gone. Washington RB Jonah Coleman plunges in from a yard away for a touchdown. Huskies lead 24-20, 3:21 remaining in the game. Maryland trails for the first time all season after 24 unanswered from UW.

Aaaand now it's a ball game. Demond Williams hits Dezmen Roebuck in-stride for a 34-yard touchdown, and Maryland's 20-0 lead is now just 3, 20-17. 11:32 remaining in the fourth quarter.

UW is clicking now, as Williams hits star WR Denzel Boston for a 3-yard TD. Huskies have halved the deficit in the last two drives, and now trail 20-10.

END Q3: Maryland 20, Washington 3 Malik 21-34, 173yds, TD/RushTD/INT Huskies ate a lot of clock in that frame with only 3 points to show for it but are inside the red zone to start the fourth.

Maryland scores to open the second half, a 9-play, 75-yd drive that culminates in a 2-yd AJ Szymanski TD. Terps lead 20-0. Key play a 29-yd completion to Octavian Smith on third down to get in the red zone, putting him over the 1,000 yard mark for his Maryland receiving career.

HALFTIME: Maryland 13, Washington 0 Malik 15-25, 101yds, INT, RushTD Farooq/Fleming 5 catches Williams Jr. 10-19, 70yds, INT Only 250 combined yards of offense so far. Terps will play without standout freshman Sidney Stewart after a targeting ejection. Teams are 7-17 on 3rd D.

A Taulia Tagovailoa-led Terps offense could strike quickly, with 3-5 play drives that would take barely 2-3 minutes. A thing I like about the Malik Washington-led offense is that it isn't that - instead built on long 10+ play drives that use clock and wear opponents down.

Today’s Maryland-Washington game has been announced as a sellout; SECU Stadium capacity is now 46,185. First sellout since Nov. 2023 vs Penn State. Picture taken near the end of the first quarter.

Malik Washington runs it in off the left side untouched for a 4-yard touchdown. Terps picked up five first downs on that drive, the biggest on a 23yd completion from Washington to Octavian Smith on third and 10 from the UW 27. Maryland leads 10-0 with 20 seconds left in Q1.

Huskey's pick, the *9th* of his career, turns into 3 points after the Terps drive stalls in the red zone. Sean O'Haire's 26-yd FG is good, Maryland up 3-0 early.

Maryland wins the toss, will defer. Washington is 0-5 in conference road games as a (nascent) Big Ten member. Maryland is 0-9 following a bye under Mike Locksley. Locksley and UW coach Jedd Fisch worked together on Ron Zook's Florida staff in the early 2000s. Ready to go.

Salmon vs. blue crab. Chesapeake Bay vs. Elliott Bay. Maryland vs. Washington. Terps and Huskies meet today for only the 2nd time and 1st since the inaugural Aloha Bowl in 1982. Boomer Esiason had 251 yds and 2 TDs in a 21-20 loss. The bowl no longer exists. Nor does the Pac-10.

Brenda Frese has waited decades to have a practice facility to call her own. Now, it’s finally a reality for the Maryland women’s basketball coach, as her team and Buzz Williams’ men have christened the new Barry P. Gossett Basketball Performance Center. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...

Maryland is 4-0 for the third time in the last five seasons but remains a stubborn 0-9 following a bye under Mike Locksley. This year, the Terps are trying to immunize themselves against the pitfalls of autumn with a visit to the football pharmacy. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/se...

Terps defender Dillan Fontus says this bye week has been different than ones in years past, more like a "pit stop to get back in the race" and not as a "break."

Mike Locksley commented on his decision to allow freshmen to speak to the press this season, tying it to allowing them to be more visible in the NIL era while also beefing up some of the media training the Maryland staff does for its players.

Maryland coach Mike Locksley mentions previous relationship he and his family has with UW coach Jedd Fisch, whom he worked with at Florida on Ron Zook's staff in the early 2000s: "Always has been a guy I have had an opportunity to know."

Maryland football coach Mike Locksley, speaking ahead of the Terps' first Big Ten home game vs. Washington, says, "The final score of [UW's] Ohio State game isn't indicative of how they played."

Maryland picks up two Big Ten awards this week after its win at Wisconsin: QB Malik Washington is the league’s freshman of the week for the second time this season (265 yards, 2TD/Rush TD) and LB Daniel Wingate is the defensive player of the week (11 tackles, sack)

Terps will return to action after a bye at home on Oct. 4 vs. Washington. Kickoff time just announced as 3:30 PM, to be televised on Big Ten Network.

Mike Locksley on a 4-0 start: “It feels a little bit different because of the level of which these guys have been able to come in, probably a little more ready than most of the freshmen that we've had to play over the years … with this group, these guys have met the challenges.”

Maryland coach Mike Locksley, speaking today: “I really like this team … They just play really carefree. They don't play cautious. They don't play fearful. They don't play as if they've already experienced bad things. They just go out and, I mean, they're having fun.”

Most traumatic weekend for Gundy and Dabo since Cracker Barrel changed its sign.
