Buffalo vs Maryland Preview
As Buffalo enters the 2022 season the team is coming off of its first losing season in four years. The Bulls struggled in head coach Maurice Linguist’s first season at the helm.
The offense wasn’t bad for Buffalo last season as they averaged over 400 yards per game. Coming back this season the Bulls will have some experience on the interior of the offensive line.
Buffalo will also bring back running back Ron Cook who rushed for 377 yards last season. While the Bulls did lose starting quarterback Kyle Vantrease but they do get senior quarterback Matt Myers back who has some starting experience. He’ll also get last year’s top receiver back in Quian Williams who caught 63 passes last season.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Bulls should be better this season as they bring six starters back from last season. The defensive line has plenty of depth headlined by nose tackle Daymond Williams.
The linebacking corp gets a star back in James Patterson who had 114 total tackles and four sacks last season. In the secondary Marcus Fuqua will headling a group that hopes they got some help from the transfer portal.
For Maryland, the team is coming off their fourth and best season under head coach Mike Locksley who led the Terps to a 7-6 record. The offense will be led by returning quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa who passed for almost 4,000 yards and 26 touchdowns last season.
The receivers should be strong as the leading receiver Rakim Jarrett is back from last season. Dontay Demus and Florida transfer Jacob Copeland should also be viable weapons for the Terps. On the offensive line, Maryland gets all five starters back from last season including left tackle Jaelyn Duncan.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Terps have to be better if they want to build on last season. Last season Maryland’s defense ranked 13th in scoring in the Big Ten.
Leading the way on the defensive side of the ball should be middle linebacker, Ruben Hyppolite who had 62 tackles last season. Tarheeb Still is back at corner and the team’s line should be buoyed by defensive tackles Ami Finau and Moria Nasili-Kite.
For both these teams, it’s an opportunity to get the season off on a positive note. Whoever wins could be setting themselves up for a trip to another bowl game.
