The 4-0 Terps have an opportunity to pull off a major upset this week. Junior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa is having quite the start to the season, leading the B1G with 335 passing yards per game and a 75.5% completion percentage.
It won’t be easy, though. Iowa’s defense is the best in the conference, holding opponents to 11 points per game through 4 games this season. But it should be noted that the Hawkeyes have a huge game next week against No. 4 Penn State. Can you say “trap game?”
Friday night ought to be interesting, that’s for sure.
