Auburn vs. Maryland schedule: Odds and how to watch the 2023 Music City Bowl
The Auburn Tigers and the Maryland Terrapins are heading to Nashville, Tennessee to play in the 26th edition of the TransPerfect Music City Bowl on December 30. These two teams have faced each other three times in the past, with Auburn leading the series 2-1, the last meeting being in 1983.
Auburn, which is under the leadership of first-year head coach Hugh Freeze, is making its 47th bowl appearance and its third Music City Bowl appearance. It wasn’t the season that the Tigers hoped for, finishing the season with a 6-6 record.
Meanwhile, the Terrapins will be without senior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, brother of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who finished the season with 3,307 passing yards and 25 touchdowns. Tagovailoa also earned the title of Big Ten all-time passing yards leader and was named the Polynesian College Football Offensive Player of the Year. Tagovailoa is opting out of the Music City Bowl game and will begin to prepare for the upcoming NFL draft.
