Maryland's High-Flying Test Against Virginia Tech |…

About this episode

Maryland’s football team is on fire, scoring 100 points in their first two games without a turnover, crushing Hampton 62-0 and UConn 38-14. Virginia Tech’s also rolling, dominating VMI 77-3 and Old Dominion 44-21. Both teams haven’t faced true Power Four competition yet—this Saturday’s showdown is their first real test. Quarterback Malik Washington has been electric, setting a school record with 18 straight completions and going 500+ yards with 3 TDs and zero picks, while staying protected with just one sack allowed. Na’eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding, who transferred from Old Dominion, leads the receiving corps with 187 yards and 2 TDs, also returning punts. The running game is adjusting: freshman Iverson Howard has nearly matched his entire freshman season’s rushing total in two games, stepping up after DeJuan Williams’ injury. With Washington’s efficiency and Gladding’s versatility on the line, and Howard and USC transfer Harry Dalton III carrying the load, Maryland’s offense must adapt to Virginia Tech’s pass rush. This game reveals whether Maryland’s high-powered offense can survive a tougher test—and if their running game can hold up without key players.
