Game 200.
5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST.
If you recall, a season ago, Virginia started off their campaign 0-5. That does include an ugly, 42-14 road loss at the hands of Maryland. This season, they have an opportunity to kick off the campaign at 3-0, which would be their first 3-0 start since 2019. On the other hand, Maryland started the regular season of destroying Connecticut at home. But last week got embarrassed as an 8.5-point favorite, losing outright to a mediocre, Michigan State, 27-24. It may take a while for them to bounce back from a devastating defeat like that. This is the first time they're taking it to the road this season, and they have to go into Scott Stadium to face a Cavaliers offense that's already accounted for over 65 points scored. Quarterback, Anthony Colandrea has many fans out there excited about this campaign. Neither team is known to stop the pass on the defensive side of the ball. But Virginia certainly is a little stronger against the rush. The Terrapins are still making adjustments in their first season without Tagovailoa at the helm. They're also not as experienced as their opponent here. The Cavaliers bring back eight starters on both sides of the ball. The old adage of taking the home 'dog rings true in this one. Take Virginia. Thank you.
