Matchup To Watch: Indiana's Danny Friend vs. Maryland's Jermaine Carter Jr.

Throwback Thursday: Indiana 47 Maryland 28

Throwback Thursday: Indiana 47 Maryland 28

We are back in the win column on this Throwback Thursday as the Hoosiers dug themselves out of a 21-3 first half hole to go on a 44-7 run and get their fifth win of the season and their first in the Big Ten. This game impressed me because we have all seen this before. A game where the Hoosiers don’t get a bounce or a call, or an injury happens and they pack up shop. However, this team remained steady as things looked like they were crumbling and crawled out of the hole and ran away from Maryland. 

Opponent: Maryland Terrapins

Location: Saturday November 21st/12:01pm/ Byrd Stadium/ (College Park, MD) 

Why They Played

This is the second meeting between the Terps and Hoosiers since 1935 (two prior). Maryland won the match-up last season in Bloomington 37-15. IU and UMD will meet annually as part of the Big Ten East.
