It's game day! 🏈 Nebraska Cornhuskers are on the road, ready to clash with the Maryland Terrapins in a highly anticipated matchup.
Can Nebraska maintain their momentum? After a convincing victory over Michigan State, the Cornhuskers are looking to prove they're for real. But here's the catch: Nebraska's offensive line has been a work in progress, especially after shuffling at the tackle position. With Dylan Raiola taking five sacks against the Spartans, can the line provide better protection this time?
The spotlight is on Elijah Pritchett, who's stepping up at left tackle. His talent is undeniable, but can he bring the discipline needed against Maryland's young and talented defensive front? The Terrapins' Sidney Stewart and Zahir Mathis will be eager to make an impact.
Freshman sensation Malik Washington is on fire! With an impressive 12 total touchdowns in his first five games, Washington is a true standout. But the Terrapins' defense won't make it easy. After a rough outing against tall defensive backs, can Washington find his rhythm against Nebraska's formidable pass defense?
And this is where the game gets intriguing. Maryland's rushing offense ranks second-worst in the conference. If Nebraska's defensive front can hold strong, they could dictate the game's pace.
Travel woes and slow starts: Will they matter? Coach Matt Rhule has his team arriving early, ensuring travel doesn't become a factor. But Nebraska's recent slow starts have raised concerns. After Washington's 20-0 lead against Maryland last week, can the Cornhuskers avoid a repeat performance? The Terrapins are no pushovers, especially at home.
