Overview
Maryland Terrapins
Fear the Turtle, Maryland
Maryland claimed a national championship in 1953 and captured ACC titles in 2001 and 2002, achievements that anchor the Terrapins’ football history. The 2002 Orange Bowl victory over Florida gave the program a signature postseason moment.
Terps fans bring red, white, black, and gold pride to College Park, with the Maryland flag reflected in the team’s identity. The rivalry with Penn State is a natural Mid-Atlantic contest, while Virginia and West Virginia add regional history.
