Maryland, Michigan State grid canceled again

In yet another twist to this crazy college football season, a matchup between Maryland and Michigan State has been canceled a second time after an outbreak of COVID-19 in College Park.

The Terrapins (2-3) were slated to face the Spartans (2-5) on Saturday night as part of the Big Ten Champions Week. The teams first matchup was scheduled for Nov. 21.

On Thursday afternoon, Maryland released this statement:

Under the guidance and advice from university medical staff, Maryland Athletics has canceled Saturdays scheduled football game against Michigan State. The game will not be rescheduled. All team training activities have been paused.

Maryland said that 15 football players tested positive for COVID-19 from Dec. 10-16.

So, once again, a game between the Terps and Spartans was called off just two days before it was to be played.
