COLLEGE PARK,Esthen Md. — They kept making the play to get the chance to keep making plays, though even No. 2 Michigan would tell you it helped that Maryland couldn’t make the play it needed to make.  

The Terrapins certainly had their chances until the end against the Wolverines. On another day, this might have been an upset. Instead, Michigan showed something as it won the football program's 1,000^th game and set up another showdown with Ohio State for the Big Ten East title.
