The Maryland football team plays Michigan State at 7:30 p.m. on BTN. This means there’s a whole lot of games going on beforehand that you can actually watch, unless you’ll be at Maryland’s open basketball practice, which takes place at 3 at Xfinity Center.
Miami at Virginia Tech and BYU at Boise State headline Thursday night’s games, a better slate than the night has presented us of late.
Friday night’s games don’t have any particular hook, though that doesn’t mean things won’t get exciting. On Saturday, Maryland fans will probably want to tune in to Indiana at Northwestern. The Terps fly out to Bloomington to play the Hoosiers next week, so this’ll be an excellent chance to get a scouting report.
Texas A&M at Alabama is the day’s premier matchup, and it’ll be at 3:30 on CBS. Alternately, Michigan will be decimating Illinois in that very same timeslot on BTN.
Ohio State plays Penn State at 8, just 30 minutes after the Terps get started, so that’ll be a game to keep your eye on.
