The team was noticeably improved. Need better play calling on offense still.
Aazaar Abdul-Rahim said Maryland saw fewer misassignments and penalties against Illinois, along with improvement on third down and in the red zone. The Terps are doubling down on mental toughness, technique and effort as they prepare for Purdue.

Before Baba Oladotun was a top basketball prospect, he was a little boy shooting hoops while his father, Ibrahim, rebounded. Now preparing for his Maryland debut, their relationship has evolved. But one thing hasn’t changed. On the father and son: baltimoresun.com/2026/11/02/…

It needs to end
Are we watching the end of an era? Feels like it.

Lamar Jackson could miss the rest of the season. Tyler Huntley’s status is uncertain, too. With the Ravens’ quarterback room suddenly in crisis, here are some options Baltimore could consider — from Joe Flacco to Shedeur Sanders. baltimoresun.com/2026/11/01/…

What a lineup
Yeah, I’m not leaving my couch this upcoming Saturday.

This team looked much better under Aazaar. He can win some games if he changes the play caller on offense. Put Malik under center more and use the run game and play action like in 1st quarter.
It took Aazaar Abdul-Rahim 10 days to make Maryland look more disciplined than it had under Mike Locksley. One penalty. Renewed energy. A different approach. But the same fourth-quarter collapse. Did Maryland find something in its interim coach? baltimoresun.com/2026/10/31/…

Coaches (Especially HS coaches just getting under way): I had this on my desk as I prepared every practice daily. How organized would your practice be if you knew one of your mentors or heroes was going to show up that day?

Terps were improved. Defense did its job. Played with more physicality and discipline. Yes the fumble hurt. And the play calling hurt worse.
Maryland's defense was good enough to win. But the offense totaled 160 yards in the final three quarters after posting 122 in the first. Lack of a running game (3.4 YPC to Illinois' 5.4) again the biggest culprit. Dejuan Williams' first-quarter fumble at the goal line also huge.

AD Jim Smith gave us a few clues about what he wants in Maryland’s next coach. Using his own words, I found 11 candidates whose resumes might fit. A little fun with the search: baltimoresun.com/2026/10/30/…

#SportsBiz if you own a team, in any sport, but baseball in particular, it's not about how many tickets or premium seats you sell, it's about this 👇 you have an obligation to people who never bought a ticket from you--to impact their lives in moments like this. #MLB
He's waited decades for this. He's never stopped believing. This is a dream come true. Enjoy this clip. He's everybody's dad tonight. #brewcrew #mlb #milwaukeebrewers

Aazaar Abdul-Rahim built a football program on sand and dirt. He helped an academically ineligible player graduate college. Another said, “He raised a lot of us.” Now, he has five games to prove himself at Maryland. Can he earn the permanent role? baltimoresun.com/2026/10/29/…

Morgan Freeman was not wrong when he said, "Become a man who can face a breakup. lose a job. deal with debt and still say, ‘God is with me. I’ll figure it out."

There are some parents that will drive six hours for a tournament but won’t drive ten minutes to a parent-teacher conference. Let that one sit for a minute.

Ten months ago, Malik Washington publicly pledged his future to Maryland. With Mike Locksley gone, the quarterback isn’t making that promise again. Sidney Stewart acknowledged he must reevaluate his future, too. baltimoresun.com/2026/10/27/…
