Clemson vs. Maryland: TV Info, Spread, Injury Updates, Game Time and More
A major ACC battle is set to take place Saturday, but it's a war of attrition for the Clemson Tigers and Maryland Terrapins after both suffered crippling defeats a week ago.
The Tigers were absolutely brutalized at home by Florida State, 51-14. Clemson turned the ball over four times and had no answer for Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston, who easily gunned his way to 444 yards and three touchdowns.
Of course, Maryland was stomped 63-0 by the Seminoles three weeks ago courtesy of Winston's 393 yards and five touchdowns. Last week was the second loss in three games for the Terrapins, who were exposed by a 4-3 Wake Forest squad that had been destroyed 56-7 earlier in the year by Clemson.
Both teams have plenty of ground to make up after recent hurdles. Here's how they can do just that, plus other pertinent info about the ACC matchup.
When: Saturday, Oct. 26 at 3:30 p.m. ET
Where: Byrd Stadium, College Park, Md.
Television: ESPN

Can Maryland Keep Up?
Tajh Boyd and Co. will not be held to just 14 points every game. Last week was an anomaly for an offense that averages 39.
Maryland has a strong offense as well, but it lost its top two wide receivers in last week's loss. Both Stefon Diggs and Deon Long broke their legs last week against Wake Forest and will miss the remainder of the season, per CBS Sports:
With a combined 66 receptions for 1,076 yards on the year before the injuries, Diggs and Long accounted for over 50 percent of the Terrapins' yardage through the air.
That's a huge hurdle for Maryland, regardless of Clemson's horrific loss last week.
Prediction
When these two teams met in Memorial Stadium last year, Clemson defended its home turf with a 45-10 victory.
While this is a road game for the Tigers, Boyd and Co. are simply too much for the Maryland offense to keep pace with, and Maryland's defense has failed in true tests against elite offenses.
Furthermore, the Tigers have allowed just two teams to surpass the 30-point mark this season. It's simply not possible for Maryland to win this week with its offense in such a state of transition.
Final Score: Tigers win 35-10
