Maryland (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) is coming off of a beat down by the Buckeyes in Columbus last weekend. But the schedule eases up a bit this week with Northwestern coming to College Park.

Northwestern will be without two key starters on defense in the first half as both were ejected last week against Penn State for targeting. The Wildcats also come into Saturday's game dead last in the Big Ten rushing the football, having lost back-to-back conference games.

TSR went in depth with WildcatReport.com's publisher, Louie Vaccher, to get some perspective on Northwestern and his thoughts on Saturday’s matchup between the Terps and Wildcats.
