Maryland will lean on third-string QB Max Bortenschlager after the higher pair on the depth chart were injured. As a stand-in last year at Nebraska, the defense dared him to pass, which resulted in the team’s measly 11 rushing yards and a sound defeat. The only TD came on a short pass converted into a 92-yarder. The unbeaten Gophers own the Big Ten’s stingiest rush defense and are second versus the pass. They have covered their last two games by 31.5 and 17.5 points, which makes the Terps prone to a seventh ATS defeat in their last eight away games.
