Game thread: No. 21 Maryland football vs Temple

For the first time in six years, Maryland football is nationally ranked.

The No. 21 Terps are coming off a 63-20 blowout victory over then-No. 21 Syracuse last Saturday, and they’re looking to defend their new ranking on the road against Temple.

The Owls are 1-0 on the season, coming off a bye week following a 56-12 beatdown of Bucknell in the season opener. It’s the first year of the Rod Carey era in Philadelphia, as he is filling the shoes of Geoff Collins, who left the program to become the new head coach at Georgia Tech. Maryland is currently favored by 5.5 points as kickoff nears.

As always, this is your space for thoughts, observations or whatever you would like to share. Be respectful, and go Terps.
