Maryland carries off Aazaar Abdul-Rahim after snapping 13-game Big Ten skid
A 13-game losing skid in the Big Ten is over for Maryland, and the Terrapins carried off interim head coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim following it.
Maryland's football team put an end to a 13-game losing streak in the Big Ten conference on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with a thrilling 34-29 victory over Purdue. The Terrapins flew to Indiana to face the Boilermakers after a losing streak that had hung over the program. On Saturday night, the Terrapins returned home, carrying interim head coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim off the field in a triumphant display.
Abdul-Rahim, who is also the co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach, took over as head coach for the remainder of the season on October 21 after the athletic department and former head coach Mike Locksley parted ways. The win marked Maryland's first conference victory since September 20, 2025, at Wisconsin. Abdul-Rahim expressed his joy for the players, stating that it was all about them and that they had a great opportunity to enjoy a win after a difficult period.
