GameThread: Maryland football vs. Minnesota

The Maryland football team plays Minnesota today at noon on ESPNU. The game will be a return home for the Terps, who suffered their first loss of the season a week ago at Penn State.

Minnesota won't have its starting quarterback, which should help the Terps concentrate on stopping the run. Redshirt junior Conor Rhoda, a former walk-on, will be the starter.

The Terps will be sporting their blackout uniforms:
