One of the stars of last week’s win for Maryland was true freshman quarterback Malik Washington. A four-star recruit and the fifth-ranked quarterback in the nation according to 247, the Severn, Maryland native completed 27 of his 43 passes for 258 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in his first career start.

Maryland’s defense had itself a day as well. The Terrapins got six interceptions, from six different players. That number represents two-thirds of their total interceptions in 2024.

On the other side, Northern Illinois comes in after a close 19-17 win over Holy Cross last week in its opener. That game was 6-3 going into the fourth quarter, before each team struck for dueling touchdowns. That included a 96-yard kickoff return touchdown from Dev’ion Reynolds for the Huskies.
