On December 30th, the Maryland Terrapins will face the Stanford Cardinal in the Foster Farms Bowl at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The Maryland Terrapins will bring a 7 - 5 record to this game after having an up and down season. The Terrapins were never really able to find consistency and could only manage back to back wins twice during the season. In their last game, they let a 25 point lead get away from them as they lost to Rutgers 41 - 38. What happened in that last game illustrated the need for Maryland to get back to basics. The Terrapins will be big underdogs in this one and the Cardinal will also have the advantage with the crowd. But if Maryland can put their best effort out there on the field, they will at least give themselves a shot at closing out the season with a win.
The Stanford Cardinal will also bring a 7 -5 record into this one after they basically had the same type of season that the Terrapins had. But the Cardinal closed out the season on a 2 game win streak and they will look to finish the season with 3 straight wins. To do so, the Cardinal will need to get the most out of their running game as they face a Maryland defense that has had trouble against the run this season. If the offense gets the production that they need, the Cardinal defense (one of the best in the nation) will definitely protect the lead. But everything will have to work in harmony for the Cardinal, and that is easier said than done.
