Maryland will face Virginia Tech in the Pinstripe Bowl

Although Terps still struggles to keep up with the conference’s top foes, this season’s 6-6 finish marks a major step forward for this show under the leadership of DC-born Locksley in his third year. In Locksley’s first season, Terps was 3-9, and in the campaign to shorten the pandemic a year ago, Maryland won 2-3. If the Terps beat the Hokies later this month, they would match the school’s best record since 2010. Maryland also finished 7-6 in 2013 and 2014, with both seasons both ended with a defeat in a bad match.
