Michael Locksley told his players to "go underwater" amid Maryland football's struggles. "Even in class you'll hear people talking about the game... you just gotta ignore it," one player said. Saturday's 51-point loss to UCLA was the Terps' worst defeat since 2019.

Maryland football was subjected to one of its lowest moments under head coach Mike Locksley in Saturday’s 54-3 drubbing against UCLA. With the Terps and their fans seemingly at rock bottom, @aidan_currie_ had more from a cavernous SECU Stadium.

They often say LA doesn’t travel well (I would know), but there’s a lot of Bruins blue out at SECU Stadium today. @BenGeffner caught up with @UCLAMBB alums Adem Bona and Russell Stong, as well. Ben and I have coverage for @TerpsCentral.
