Terps Prepare for Trip to Camp Randall

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland heads to Camp Randall Stadium to take on the Wisconsin Badgers Saturday in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Kickoff is set for noon in Madison. Saturday's matchup is Maryland's first visit to the state of Wisconsin. With a victory in Madison, Maryland would extend its road winning streak to six. The Terps are one of two teams in the Big Ten that are undefeated this season on the road.

With 38 points against the Hawkeyes, the Terrapin offense extended its streak of scoring 24 or points to seven straight. It is the longest streak in program history to begin a season. In addition, the Terps have posted 34 or more points in five of their first seven games a feat that hasn't been accomplished since the 2002 season.
