The Maryland Terrapins join the Big Ten Conference this season, leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference. The 2014 Maryland Terrapins Football Schedule is listed below.
Maryland has improved each year under head coach Randy Edsall, going from just two victories in 2011 to seven wins last year, but falling in the Military Bowl to Marshall.
This team has a lot of talent coming back, but playing in a much tougher conference will certainly wear them down. Nine starters return to the field on both sides of the football, which certainly gives them some depth to work with in 2014.
The problem, however, is that they won just three games in the ACC last season, which outside of Florida State and Clemson, wasn't nearly as good as the Big Ten.
Senior quarterback C.J. Brown and wideout Stefon Diggs give the Terps weapons at key positions. Brown can be a dual-threat guy and does get his top-six receivers back from 2013.
But unless they get the defense to play better, Maryland will have a less than stellar season. If they are able to pick up wins in their non-league games, they very well could make a bowl game.
