In the past nine games featuring the Maryland Terrapins the OVER has gone 7-2. Largely it has been Maryland’s defense that has been the culprit with opposing teams averaging nearly 37 points per game in that span. The Terps will visit the Iowa Hawkeyes this Saturday.
- Iowa is 15-3 SU in their last 18 games at home in October.
- Maryland is 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS in their last five games on the road in October.
- Maryland QB Caleb Rowe has more interceptions than any other D1 quarterback (12).
Maryland certainly looked a lot better under interim head coach Mike Locksley than they did under Randy Edsall. The Terrapins only lost by one point against Penn State and scored 30 points, almost totalling the same amount they did in their previous three games.
Iowa remains the only undefeated team in the Big Ten West after a 40-10 beatdown of Northwestern last week. The Hawkeyes have only allowed 15.3 points per game this season, good for tenth in the nation, and only one team has managed to score 20-plus points against Iowa.
