Oct. 31--TV: 2:30 p.m.; ABC-7.
Line: Iowa by 17.
Records: Maryland 2-5, 0-3 Big Ten; Iowa 7-0, 3-0.
Last meeting: Maryland won 38-31 on Oct. 18, 2014, in College Park, Md.
On the offensive: Iowa's rushing attack will get a boost if LeShun Daniels (foot/ankle) can return. Maryland QB Perry Hills put up big numbers against Penn State (349 total yards), but he's turnover-prone.
Getting defensive: Iowa is last in the Big Ten with 40 tackles for a loss but allows only 2.5 yards per rush. Maryland's pass defense (144.7 rating) is just a tick better than Indiana's. In other words, not good.
The number: 2. Punts Will Likely returned for touchdowns in Maryland's first two games. He has just 72 yards in his last eight returns.
The talk: Iowa could be flat coming off an open date. Maryland could be flat after losing to emerging rival Penn State by one point.
Teddy Greenstein's pick: A down-in-the-dumps team will not threaten the Hawkeyes' unblemished mark. Iowa 34, Maryland 13.
