Valiant Comeback Ends In Heartbreak as WVU Defeats Terps 37-31

Observations of a disappointing day

No excuses—the Mountaineers were the better team today but the loss of the 2 receivers threw the Terps off early and thus allowed WV to get that early lead.

What I loved about Danny today was that even though he was off —- when the score was 34-10, there was not an ounce of panic in him. That’s when he played his best ball of the day. It is rare to win on any level of football when you throw 3 pics. But QB1 never through in the towel and willed his team back into the game.

I heard much ranting post game that he should have run on 3rd down but I have to watch the replay to verify.

Props to Geno Smith for a super game and for coming through on the key drive of the game. He basically

4th and goal from the 7 yard line, down 34-10, I gotta kick the FG Randy elected not to and the Terps failed to convert. Still scratching my head.

Davin Meggett had a superb game today along with DJ Adams. The rushing game was strong and the mixture of plays created the comeback.

Coach Edsall was very upset post game especially about the myriad of mistakes.

It seemed like a virtual sellout today. Next up for the Terps is Temple who lost a heartbreaker to the Nittany Lions 14-10.

Hats off to the ACC for acting in a preemptive sort of way by striking first and adding Pitt and Cuse. Basketball just improved big time!!!!

Miami defeated OSU 17-6. Seems like the Ohio State University is in for some hard times.

The blitz packages were working today and the defense was certainly stinger when pressure was put on Geno Smith. Before you heap too much criticism on the define remember this is one of the best offenses in the country. Clemson and Georgia Tech both exploded for points today as the ACC might be as strong as it has been in years.

It’s official—–Syracuse and Pitt are now in the ACC!!!!,!

Much more tomorrow.
