Maryland To Play East Carolina In Military Bowl
The Maryland Terrapins, who finished tied for third place in the Atlantic Coast Conference, will not be traveling very far from home in what will be the school’s seventh bowl in Ralph Friedgen’s ten seasons. Instead of heading south to sunny Florida or even somewhat cooler Nashville, the Terps (8-4, 5-3 ACC) will be busing over to nearby RFK Stadium to face East Carolina (6-6, 5-3 CUSA) in the Military Bowl Presented by Northrop Grumman on Wednesday, December 29. Yes, you read that correctly.
If I told you earlier this year that the University of Maryland football team would be playing a prime time game on network television in a race for the ACC’s Atlantic division crown following a 2-10 season, you would likely think I was crazy. Yet lo and behold, Maryland ensured just that last Saturday night against Florida State — while they came out on the losing end in a heartbreaking finish, the Maryland Terrapins (7-4, 4-3 ACC) have provided a remarkable turnaround from last year.

But what is more remarkable is that they achieved this feat before November, while rebounding from a horrendous, school record-worst 2-10 season last year.
Oh, and Friedgen was on the brink of being fired to boot.
