Maryland should win after September

Context

The show treats the prompt as almost too conservative: Maryland winning at least one game after September is a full May. The schedule contains enough reachable games - Rutgers, Purdue, Wisconsin, and possibly Illinois depending on timing - that a total late-season shutout would be a real disappointment.

The football case is still modest. Maryland's returning production number pops because a young 4-8 team had to play many young players, and the show does not automatically treat that as proof of quality. The credible building blocks are Malik Washington's continuity, Clint Trickett spreading the field, Pep Hamilton staying connected to the quarterback's development, and a pass rush strong enough to cover other defensive gaps.
