When it comes to uniform options that are or aren't in the game, one thing to keep in mind is that there is usually an approval process when it comes to how any school, team, or organization is represented in media; whether it's images, movies, video games, whatever. Since Maryland is introducing a whole new uniform set this season--a uniform set I don't believe has been officially debuted in real life--there might have been a request to stick to only helmets that they plan to wear this season.
I can't say whether that's what happened in this case or not because I'm not in that "inner circle" when it comes to approving what uniforms are in the game. Just a thought to keep in mind.
