BOX SCORE

INJURY REPORT: Michigan RB Blake Corum in uniform vs. Maryland, unclear how much he'll play

Game notes: The Wolverines have the Ohio State Buckeyes next, but they can't look past the Terps. Michigan will try to win its third in a row after handling Penn State, 21-17, on the road. Cade McNamara is playing some of his best football of the season lately. Over the past three games, the junior quarterback has passed for 768 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions and has finished each game with an adjusted QB score of 80 or better (50 is average).

Maryland is coming off a 40-21 loss to Michigan State but its offense can attack, averaging just under 27 points a game. The defense has struggled though, giving up 157.5 yards on the ground and 31.4 points per game. It's will be interesting to see how the Terps' run defense deals with Hassan Haskins (985 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns). Maryland's two conference wins have come against Indiana and Illinois; it gets Rutgers to close out the season.
