The Maryland Terrapins and the Purdue Boilermakers will face off in a Big Ten clash at noon ET Oct. 8 at SECU Stadium. These two teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.
You're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter, and that's exactly how it played out for Maryland last week. They picked up a 27-13 victory over the Michigan State Spartans. The team accrued 21 points in the first half and coasted on those for the win. Maryland's RB Antwain Littleton II was one of the most active players for the team, rushing for one TD and 120 yards on 19 carries. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Littleton II has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.
Meanwhile, Purdue beat the Minnesota Golden Gophers 20-10 last week. The Boilermakers can attribute much of their success to RB Devin Mockobee, who rushed for one TD and 112 yards on 11 carries. Mockobee's longest run was for 68 yards in the fourth quarter.
This next matchup is expected to be close, with Maryland going off at just a 3-point favorite. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.
The wins brought Maryland up to 4-1 and Purdue to 3-2. The Terrapins are 2-1 after wins this season, the Boilermakers 1-1.
