COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND - The 20th-ranked Maryland Terrapins began on-field preparations this week for their New Year's Eve game against the Tennessee Volunteers at the Peach Bowl. <br>

Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen will suspend practice next week to allow his players to prepare for exams. <br>

Last year, Friedgen worked the team during exam week before the Orange Bowl. The results were disastrous -- the Terps fared poorly in the classroom and on the field. Maryland lost to Florida, 56-23.
