How to Watch Indiana Football Week 5 Against Maryland Terrapins

Indiana football continues the 2023 season against the Akron Zips on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET at SECU Stadium in College Park. Here's how to watch, with game time and TV information, the latest on the point spread, series history, coaching information and more.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Coach Tom Allen and the Indiana Hoosiers are making their first true road trip of the 2023 season on Saturday when they face off against coach Mike Locksley and the Maryland Terrapins.

Indiana is coming off one of the more discouraging wins in recent memory, barely surviving against 29-27 in four overtimes against a bottom-of-the-barrel MAC team in Akron. Maryland enters as one of just four remaining undefeated teams in the Big Ten. The Terrapins are not ranked in the AP top-25 poll, but a win on Saturday might be enough to get them there. 

Over the past four seasons with star quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, Locksley's team has steadily improved, and now seems firmly solidified as one of the better teams in the conference. An easy win on Saturday for Maryland would prove it's a cut above teams like Indiana that are scraping to reach bowl eligibility.

Allen and the Hoosiers, meanwhile, want to prove that last week's performance was not representative of what they are. All week, both Indiana coaches and players said that if IU plays like it did against Akron when facing Big Ten competition, they won't be winning anymore games.

Meet the Coaches

• Mike Locksley, Maryland: Locksley has a 24-23 overall record and a 10-22 mark in Big Ten play here in his fifth full season as Maryland's head coach. Locksley took over for the Terrapins in 2019, replacing interim coach Matt Canada, who had taken over the job after the death of lineman Jordan McNair led to the dismissa of D.J. Durkin. He had also coached the Terrapins for six games during the 2015 season as an interim coach himself after Randy Edsall was fired. Locksley had been Edsall's offensive coordinator at Maryland from 2012-15, though his six-game stint as interim went very poorly, as the Terrapins went 1-5 in their final half of the 2015 season. Prior to his return to College Park, Locksley already possessed an extensive track record in coaching. He played as a defensive back at Towson State from 1988-91, then immediately became the defensive backs position coach in 1992 after his graduation. Locksley worked as a running backs coach at Maryland from 1997-2002 under head coaches Ron Vanderlinden and Ralph Friedgen. Locksley has also been an assistant coach at Florida, at Illinois and, most famously, at Alabama from 2016-18. He was also a head coach previously at New Mexico from 2009-11, which went very poorly. The Lobos went 2-26 under Locksley, who was fired midway through his third season. Between his time in New Mexico, and now two separate tenures as the head coach at Maryland, Locksley has a career record of 27-54 entering Satuday's game.
• Tom Allen, Indiana: Allen has a 32-42 overall record and a 17-36 mark in Big Ten play in his seventh full season as Indiana's head coach. He took over for Kevin Wilson as interim head coach for the 2016 Foster Farms Bowl, which ended with a 26-24 loss to Utah. Allen is seventh among Indiana head coaches on the all-time wins list, and he's six wins away from moving into fourth place. Allen was named 2020 American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year, when he led the Hoosiers to a 6-2 record and reached as high as No. 7 in the AP top-25 poll, the school's highest ranking since 1967. Along with Bill Mallory, Allen is one of two Indiana head coaches to coach in multiple bowl games. Allen is a native of New Castle, Ind., and his coaching career includes stops at Temple Heights High School, Armwood High School, Marion High School, Ben Davis High School, Wabash College, Lambuth University, Drake, Arkansas State, Ole Miss, South Florida and Indiana.
