Gates are still closed.
Michigan's in the 30-minute lightning window here. So when that stuff stops, they'll set a time and open the gates one hour prior to kick.

A 17.5-point favorite, the Wolverines have won four games in a row after losing their season opener to Notre Dame and appear to be a threat to compete for the East division. But Maryland has quietly enjoyed a solid start to the 2018 campaign, as the Terrapins hope to match their win total from last year (4) and eventually play in a bowl game for the third time since joining the conference in 2014.
Michigan-Maryland will have a tentative start of 1:15 p.m. — gates to stadium will open at 12:30 p.m.
All subject to change.
