Illinois vs. Maryland: Maryland Leads 7-0 in the Second Quarter at College Park
The Big Ten matchup at SECU Stadium led U.S. searches on Saturday — Maryland struck first and led Illinois 7-0 in the second quarter, with the Illini trying to build on last week's win over Oregon.
Saturday's most-searched college football game was the Big Ten meeting in College Park, where Maryland led Illinois 7-0 in the second quarter at SECU Stadium. The score is the live line as read at midday Saturday — an early lead, not a final, in a game that kicked off at noon Eastern on FS1.
Illinois (4-3, 2-2 in the Big Ten) arrived with momentum from a 21-10 win over Oregon, a game in which running back Aidan Laughery produced 123 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries and Michael Clayton II started at quarterback and threw two touchdown passes. Collin Dixon, who has scored in six of Illinois' seven games, leads the Illini with 10 touchdown catches.
Maryland (2-5, 0-4 in the Big Ten) came off an open date after a 37-30 home loss to Rutgers, its fifth straight defeat. The Terrapins' passing game runs through Chris Durr Jr., who has four 100-yard games and leads the team in catches, working with quarterback Malik Washington.
The matchup airs on FS1 and streams on FOX One. Austin's own college Saturday centers on No. 11 Texas hosting Mississippi State at 6:30 p.m. CT — the Sports Desk's game-night file follows within 45 minutes of that final.
