Nebraska Huskers host Maryland Terrapins for Homecoming Game

The Nebraska Huskers will host the Maryland Terrapins this Saturday at Memorial Stadium for the 2026 Homecoming Game. Nebraska enters the matchup with a 4-0 record, marking their best start since 2016, following a 31-13 victory over Michigan State. The Huskers' offense has demonstrated significant balance, averaging 236.5 rushing yards and 246.3 passing yards per game.

Maryland arrives with a 2-2 record after a recent loss to UCLA. The Terrapins possess a high-powered offense averaging 32.3 points and 431.3 yards per game. While Nebraska holds a 3-1 lead in the all-time series, Maryland has won the last three meetings between the two programs.

Key factors for Nebraska include maintaining defensive pressure, specifically through the pass rush, and protecting the football. For Maryland, success may depend on the performance of quarterback Malik Washington and overcoming recent struggles in special teams.
