Maryland football’s home game against Illinois on Oct. 14 will kick off at 3:30 p.m. and be broadcast on NBC, it was announced Monday.

The game will be Maryland’s fourth on network television this season, having already played two games on NBC, with FOX broadcasting its upcoming game at No. 4 Ohio State.

The Terps’ season is off to an impressive start with five straight wins, but they travel to Columbus, Ohio, this weekend, where they await their most difficult test by far against the Buckeyes.

Illinois, on the other hand, is 2-3 to start the season with conference losses to Purdue and Penn State.
