There is no preseason title talk in College Park this fall. Not with the graduation of quarterback C.J. Brown and the departure of wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Brown passed for 2288 yards and rushed for another 539. Diggs led the Terrapins with 62 receptions.
Maryland coach Randy Edsall is counting on Wes Brown and Brandon Ross for its running game and potential All-American defensive back and return specialist Will Lively for its excitement.
Junior Perry Hills won a three-way battle at quarterback, with Caleb Rowe and Daxx Garman in the wings.
Maryland surprised Michigan at the Big House a season ago, but no way its going to happen at College Park in 2015.
Prediction: Michigan 27, Maryland 13.
Next: Northwestern
