Taulia Tagovailoa has 889 passing yards, 5 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, while Roman Hemby has 243 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns. The defense is allowing 314.7 yards per game (50th) and 193.3 yards passing per game (40th).

Michigan State in Turmoil as Maryland Looks to Capitalize After Crunch Time Showdown with Washington

Michigan State is facing a difficult period as it navigates the Mel Tucker situation. The current situation could make for a challenging season, with the school in the process of searching for a new hire. Meanwhile, Maryland has demonstrated they have the potential at the skill positions necessary to take advantage of a team's lack of confidence after a disappointing home performance. Washington will have to remain diligent, as Tagovailoa and other key figures look to secure a strong start to the match on the road.
