IUFB at Maryland - Saturday, 11.01.25 @ 3:30 on CBS-TV

[Class of '66 Old Fart 94,829]

Some felt the UCLA game would be a trap game but to me, a team on a 3-game losing streak playing at home is more of a trap game.   But what do I know?    Maryland (4-3) (1-3) with its 3-game losing streak is 3-2 playing at home.

It’s never a trap game when your team is playing incredibly well.

Maryland has some playmakers and could get theirs, but a Curt Cignetti vs Mike Locksley coaching battle is not a fair fight.

At IU 2024 it was not a lopsided game.  Only td difference going into 4th quarter.  However, 2025 IU has Hemby and the rest of the gang playing at a higher level.

yes sir. Cig also said the same early on his presser today. 

[Banksyrules 5,399]

I say try the first quarter without Fisher and go from there. Gotta be in top form come early December and hopefully January.

[Stuhoo 92,444]

If Fisher can practice and lead the team he will be out there on Saturday. 

Football players play football.

If a player is healthy why wouldn't you want them to play, this sitting players doesn't make since to me

The bye after Wisco and before Purdue is going to be much needed. Then a two week Purdue/B1G title sprint and another couple weeks off before (hopefully) a bye into quarters. 

Aiden Fisher =/= Kawhi Leonard. No load management in Cig’s ball club.

If he's 100%? I wouldn't want him to sit. If he's not, then give him the week off to heal up for the stretch run.

A 21.5 point favorite in a November road conference game!  Wow, I never thought I'd see this day.  The whole world knows about Coach Cig now

3 straight conference games with a 20+ point spread as well. Definitely never had that before.

BOOOOOO!!!  Those two dinosaurs are terrible.  CBS should force them to retire.  Nessler and Danielson suck.

I agree rayl; their energy level is zero . . . someone needs to give each of them a red bull before the game.

Can Maryland get to Mendosa? Unit prescription cards hope to serve as "reset" for Maryland football after second bye week
