SAN FRANCISCO – Maryland head football coach Randy Edsall joined Stanford head coach David Shaw along with Foster Farms Bowl executive director Gary Cavalli and Foster Farms senior vice president Bryan Reese for an introductory press conference at the Hotel Nikko Saturday afternoon.
Edsall was joined by Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown, kicker Brad Craddock and linebacker Cole Farrand at the event.
After opening remarks from Cavalli and Reese, Edsall took the mic and addressed the gathered media to express the team's excitement to be invited to San Francisco for their final game of the season.
"It's been a great time [in San Francisco ] so far," Edsall said. "It's been an experience for us in our first year in the Big Ten. Different conference. Different venues to play in. I thought our kids handled it well. We overcame advirsity because of the leadership and will of our players."
Following introductions by Edsall and Shaw, the media met with the student-athletes. Brown was excited to lead the Terrapins into Santa Clara in his final game at Maryland.
"Being here for as long as I have, these last practices have been emotional. I've kind of reflected and I've had a great time. I'm trying to go out for the seniors, myself, my family and the University of Maryland and get this win."
Farrand believes the team has had a great set of practices leading up to its trip west and will be ready to play the Cardinal Tuesday night.
"We're loving the weather," Farrand said. "It's really nice and I think the guys are feeding into that. We've had great practices this week. Everyone is really excited."
Maryland's players and coaches will take advantage of the sunny skies when they visit the world famous Alcatraz to close out Saturday's activities.
The Terps and Cardinal are set for a 10 p.m. ET kick off from Levi's Stadium Tuesday, Dec. 30.
