For all live updates, scores and highlights, check out the updates below.
Fourth Quarter
- TOUCHDOWN: The Wolverines are on the board again after taking the ball over after the Terrapins turned the ball over on downs. Donovan Edwards sets up the Wolverines near the goal line and McCarthy did the rest. He bowled over a defender to get into the endzone. Wolverines rolling. Michigan 59, Maryland 18
- The Wolverines are effectively running out the clock as much as it can. Dan Villari is in at quarterback getting some reps. All that's left now is to get out of College Park unscathed. 10:22 left in the game.
- That should do it from College Park. The stage is set: Michigan vs. Ohio State in Ann Arbor next week. The winner will play in the Big Ten Championship for a spot in the playoff. No pressure, right?
FINAL: Michigan 59, Maryland 18
Third Quarter
- TURNOVER: Maryland goes for it on fourth-and-short. Aidan Hutchinson, in typical fashion, is in the backfield to blow it up. Wolverines will get the ball on its own 43. 12 minutes left in the quarter.

- TOUCHDOWN: The Wolverines' defense isn't as aggressive as it has been this game, as the Terrapins stroll down the field for an easy score by Tagovailoa. Two-point conversion is good. 2:22 left in the quarter. Michigan 38, Maryland 18
- TOUCHDOWN: A bit of a whirlwind of a third quarter. Donovan Edwards takes a 77-yard wheel route to the house. It was the Wolverines' second touchdown of 75-yards or more on the game. Michigan 45, Maryland 18

END OF QUARTER: Michigan 52, Maryland 18
Second Quarter
- The Terps are doing their best to give the game away. Twice as the Terps entered the redzone, penalties have pushed the offense back. Add a third penalty to make things worse. The Wolverines' defense has allowed the Terps to move the ball on this drive. Can it get the stop?
- FIELD GOAL: U-M's defense held after the Terps had a handful of opportunities to find the endzone. Terps add a chip-shot field goal to chip into the Wolverines' lead. 9:37 left in the half. Michigan 14, Maryland 3
- TURNOVER: The Wolverines turned the ball over on downs on the Terps' side on the field. Maryland gets another shot to tighten things up with halftime approaching. 5:22 left in the half.
- The threat falls quietly. Tagovailoa looked to keep the ball for what would've been an easy third-down conversion. Instead, he overthrows his receiver.
- BLOCKED PUNT: Michigan blocks the Maryland punt and pretty much gets the ball back where it turned it over the previous drive.
- TOUCHDOWN: The Wolverines answer back thanks to the arms, and legs of JJ McCarthy. Mike Sainristil hauls in the catch of a year, a 13-yard score, to extend the lead. 2:51 left in the half. Michigan 21, Maryland 3
- Michigan will get the ball back with under two minutes in the half. Terps get the ball after halftime. Can the Wolverines add to its lead?
- FIELD GOAL: After a nice throw by McNamara and catch by Roman Wilson for a six-yard score, a chop block was called that reverses the touchdown. Instead, the Wolverines will attempt a field goal with 8 seconds left in the half. Moody nails the 39-yarder with 4 seconds left in the half. Michigan 24, Maryland 3
HALFTIME: Michigan 24, Maryland 3
First Quarter
- Michigan is getting the ball first here.
- MISSED FIELD GOAL: After Michigan's first drive went three-and-out, a couple of chunk plays by Maryland saw the Terrapins get into field goal position. After the Wolverines' defense stood tall, the Terps' 48-yard kick is no good and the game remains scoreless. 11:34 left in the quarter.
- Hassan Haskins eclipsed over 1000 yards on the year during this drive. Wolverines marching towards the redzone.
- TOUCHDOWN: Michigan made it look easy on that drive. A third-and-long screen to Donovan Edwards had the Wolverines on the two-yard line. A quick dump-off to Luke Schoonmaker from Cade McNamara has the Wolverines on the board. 7 minutes left in the game. Michigan 7, Maryland 0
- Both teams have traded punts with not much going on in this quarter. Wolverines will get the ball back in good field position. 4:14 left in the quarter.
