Minnesota and Maryland both started off 2019 with a 2-0 overall record.

The Gophers, however, didn’t exactly cruise through those first two games. Both ended in one-score differentials, while Maryland absolutely dominated both Howard and then-ranked No. 21 Syracuse.

Since that point, though, the two teams have had drastically different seasons. Minnesota has picked up its play and has looked like a much better football team — still not dropping a game — and is currently 7-0. Meanwhile, Maryland is 3-4, losing four of its last five games.

The two teams are set to meet on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET at Minnesota. Prior to the matchup, on Tuesday, Gophers coach P.J. Fleck talked about what he’s looking at going into the game.

Hint: He’s not taking the Terrapins lightly.

Maryland, as of Tuesday morning, appears to be getting its starting QB and starting RB back toward 100 percent for the game against the Gophers.
