For us, as we talked about taking the next step as a program, obviously one of the first ‘next steps’ is becoming a bowl-eligible team, to where that becomes our standard.” “I told our team it’s like being in a wild-card playoff game. “We’re still chasing that sixth victory, and we’re out of time,” Maryland coach Michael Locksley said. Maryland opened 4-0 and then lost six of seven after running into Big Ten powers Iowa, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State and Michigan. The Terps and Rutgers have had similiar seasons. The Scarlet Knights last went in 2014, coincidently in another Quick Lane game. Maryland has not played in a bowl game since 2016, when it was in the Quick Lane Bowl. The loser will look forward to next season. 500 and can look forward to the postseason. Scarlet Knights (5-6, 2-6 Big Ten) and Terrapins (5-6, 2-6) will play for bowl eligibility when they meet in the regular-season finale.
