The defense has been consistent, with linebacker Daniel Wingate leading with 39 tackles. Sidney Stewart has four sacks, and La’khi Roland has two interceptions, one of which was a pick-six. Kicker Sean O’Haire has made 10 of 11 field goals and all of his extra points.

Washington vs Maryland Prediction

Washington has the better passing game behind Williams Jr., while Maryland brings more big plays through Knotts and a reliable defense. The Huskies have yet to prove they can handle a strong Big Ten defense, and Maryland has played well on both sides of the ball. At home, the Terrapins are in a good position to stay unbeaten. Final Score Prediction: Maryland Terrapins win and cover ATS 24–23.
