Maryland to face Auburn in the 2023 TransPerfect Music City Bowl
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The University of Maryland football team will make its 30th all-time bowl appearance when it meets Auburn in the 2023 TransPerfect Music City Bowl on December 30 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.
The game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. EST kickoff and will be televised nationally on ABC.
“We’re excited to be selected to play in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl,” said Maryland Head Coach Michael Locksley. “This will be our third straight year participating in a bowl game, which is a credit to our players and the consistency we’re building within our program. We’re excited to get back out on the practice field and continue the development of our players before we travel to Nashville to take on a really good Auburn team.”
Maryland will be making its third consecutive bowl appearance after defeating Virginia Tech, 54-10, in the 2021 Pinstripe Bowl and No. 23 NC State, 16-12, in the 2022 Duke’s Mayo Bowl. The Terrapins will be looking to win three bowl games during a three-year stretch for the first time in program history when they take on Auburn.
Maryland concluded the 2023 regular season 7-5 overall, guaranteeing the Terps their third consecutive winning season under Locksley’s guidance. Maryland ranks second in the Big Ten in total offense (393.8 points per game) and leads the league in passing yards per game with 284.8.
Auburn (6-6) leads the all-time series with Maryland, 2-1, however the teams have not met since the 1983 season. The Terps have not faced an SEC team in a bowl game since 2002, when Maryland defeated Tennessee, 30-3, in the Peach Bowl.
