If you root for the Terps, you finally have a reason to circle Saturday. Maryland beat Purdue 34-29 on Nov. 7 to end a 13-game Big Ten losing streak. It was the team's first conference win since Sept. 20, 2025, and interim coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim's first win since Mike Locksley's departure last month.
The Terps are 3-6 and must win all three remaining games to reach six wins, which typically makes a team bowl-eligible. Abdul-Rahim points to a new practice drill called Terp Alley, where players match up one-on-one to recreate game situations. Quarterback Malik Washington played the second half at Purdue in a brace on his left knee.
