COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The University of Maryland football team will make its 29th all-time bowl appearance when it meets NC State in the 2022 Duke’s Mayo Bowl on December 30 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The game is scheduled for a Noon kickoff and will be televised nationally on ESPN.
“We’re thrilled to be selected to play in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl,” said Maryland Head Coach
Michael Locksley. “Earning back-to-back bowl berths is another significant step for our program and I’m also excited for our seniors to have another chance to play in a big-time game. I’m also happy that our fans will be able to drive down and represent us as we take on a former ACC rival.”
Maryland will be making its second consecutive bowl appearance after defeating Virginia Tech, 54-10, in the 2021 Pinstripe Bowl. The Terps concluded the 2022 regular season with a 7-5 overall record. Maryland ranks third in the Big Ten in passing offense (259.3 yards per game) and fourth in the league in scoring offense (29.2 points per game).
The Terps are led by quarterback
Taulia Tagovailoa, who ranks second in the Big Ten in completions and completion percentage (68.6), and third in passing yards. Tagovailoa has rewritten Maryland's record books, as he's now the program leader in career touchdown passes (50), career passing yards (7,658), total offense (7,843) and 300-yard passing games (12).
“We are thrilled to welcome these two teams and their fans to Charlotte. It is our goal to be the most fan and player friendly bowl game and we look forward to having a game and bowl week that will be a celebration of the Terps, Wolfpack and mayonnaise,” said
Danny Morrison, executive director of CSF. “Our team, Duke’s Mayo, and our partners have been planning all year and we know that it will be an amazing experience for all involved.”
Maryland and North Carolina State are dead even in their 70 meetings all-time, standing at 33-33-4. The Terps and Wolfpack met annually when Maryland was in the ACC, with the Terps winning the last meeting in 2013, a 41-21 win in Raleigh in the Terps final conference game as a member of the ACC. This will be the first postseason meeting between the two programs as they have only played at a neutral site twice, in 1917 and 1921.
