Northwestern at Maryland

Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa was carted off the field last week in the Terps game vs Indiana. He re-aggravated a sprained MCL and is said to be a game-time decision. I really don't expect him to play, and if he does, he will not be near 100%. I don't think the line has been adjusted enough. Northwestern has been a competitive 1-5 team. Aside from last week's blowout vs Wisconsin, the Wildcats have stayed within 10 in all of their other 4 losses which include games vs Penn St., and Duke. Northwestern is a bit weaker against the pass but has been average against the run, and I would think Maryland is going to look to run the ball, shorten the game and get out with a win. I like Northwestern in this one.
