DraftKings · as of July 8, 2026
Indiana defeated Maryland 55–10 in a dominant performance. Indiana covered by 24.0; Game went Over by 14.5. The market closed at Indiana -21.0 and the Blue Chip model made it Indiana -22.3, an edge of 1.3 points toward Indiana.
Indiana outrushed Maryland 367-37, with Kaelon Black (110 yards) and Roman Hemby (88 yards) leading the way. This ground dominance compensated for a slow start and the absence of top receiver Elijah Sarratt.
The Hoosiers forced two fumbles in the third quarter, one returned for a touchdown by Devan Boykin, and intercepted Maryland's quarterback twice. This defensive pressure turned a close game into a blowout.
Elijah Sarratt left in the first quarter with hamstring tightness, ending his 46-game catch streak. His status for next week at Penn State is uncertain, which could impact the passing game.
Despite an early interception and a slow offensive start, Indiana responded with 55 unanswered points after Maryland's initial field goal, showing the team's ability to overcome adversity.
Indiana travels to face Penn State next Saturday. The Hoosiers will need to maintain their rushing efficiency and defensive intensity against a tougher opponent, especially if Sarratt is limited.
Maryland's offense struggled mightily, managing only 37 rushing yards compared to Indiana's 367, and scoring just 10 points. The inability to establish a balanced attack was a key factor in the blowout loss.
The Terrapins had a chance to take control early after intercepting Mendoza at the Indiana 12-yard line, but only managed a field goal. Later, they failed to score after forcing a three-and-out and getting the ball in Hoosiers territory, which set the tone for the game.
Washington threw two interceptions and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, highlighting his inexperience against a top-tier defense. This performance raises concerns about his readiness for upcoming games.
Maryland's defense started strong with an interception and early stops, but they could not maintain that momentum as Indiana's run game took over. The defense allowed 55 points and over 500 yards of total offense.
Maryland travels to face Rutgers next Saturday. To compete, they must improve offensive balance, protect the football, and find ways to sustain drives against a Rutgers defense that will look to exploit their weaknesses.
