The 2012 University of Maryland football season officially gets underway on Monday, August 6th with the start of preseason camp. Following a 2-10 campaign in 2011 second year Head Coach Randy Edsall, his coaching staff, and the Terrapins are looking for a much better season this year. One of Edsall’s biggest challenges will be finding a back-up quarterback to likely junior starter C.J. Brown after last year’s number one quarterback Danny O’Brian transferred to the University of Wisconsin. He also brought in first year Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach Mike Locksley who had been an assistant coach at Maryland from 1997 – 2002. Most recently Locksley was the Head Coach at the University of New Mexico from 2009 – 2011. On the other side of the ball Brian Stewart has taken over as the Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Backs Coach after spending the past two seasons at the University of Houston in the same capacity. This year’s schedule features six exciting home games that will be played at Capital One Field in College Park on the University of Maryland’s campus. The non conference opponents are William & Mary University and the University of Connecticut. The conference portion of the schedule features contests versus Wake Forest University, North Carolina State University, Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), and Florida State University. Catch all the thrilling action on the Terrapin Sports Radio Network (980 AM) in the Washington, D.C. region with the “Voice of the Terrapins” Johnny Holliday’s play by play, Jonathan Claiborne’s color commentary, and Tim Strachan’s sideline reports.
