Some comments while trying to figure out how such a low scoring game took 3 1/2 Hours to Play:
After giving up a 73 yard TD on a missed assignment, the Terps allowed only 168 yds on 66 offensive plays. There was a trendous goal line stand highlighted by a soaring hit from the program cover young man, Eric Franklin. Again if you have any doubts about the quality of … Read More »

Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPNU).

[West Virginia] is ranked No. 8 in the country, going down to Morgantown which is not a real good place to play from the standpoint of the noise and everything else. But we’re looking forward to the challenge of going up against the air-raid offense. Geno Smith, Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin and Joe Madsen the center, who is a really good player. They’re averaging over 600 yards a game, … Read More »
On protecting quarterback Perry Hills:
“We are going to have to take a look at the things we saw today and figure out how we can help him. It might be about protections. We will evaluate our personnel but I don’t see anything from a personnel standpoint that we would do. We have to keep coaching … Read More »
