Most stories I have read about the game today are overflowing with pessimism. Not here. Why? Because today I watched the unveiling of a talent, the likes of which we haven’t seen in College Park since…..I am not sure whom. Stefon Diggs was simply sensational today. He is electric. His instincts and first move on the 3 punt returns were brilliant. He had but 8 touches and on all but one was a threat to break open the play. Vernon … Read More »

Freshman Quarterback Perry Hills
On playing his first collegiate game:
“I’m always a little antsy getting into football season. I love playing football, I love this sport. I’ve been doing it since I was six years old. I’m just really excited and I can’t wait.”
On being recruited for both collegiate wrestling and football:
“I wasn’t really sure going into my junior year if I was going to wrestle in college or play football. It all depended on … Read More »
“I met with all three guys this morning. Pretty much after the scrimmage and then practice yesterday, it’s clear that Perry is the number one guy, the starter. Caleb [Rowe] is number two and Devin [Burns] is number three. So I just wanted our team to really understand who they’re working with and get as many reps so they can all get comfortable, they have been comfortable. But just wanted to get that done today and like I said I … Read More »
from Gene Wang of the Washington Post:
The Maryland football team scrimmaged on Saturday for the second time during training camp, and while quarterback play provided initial intrigue, freshman Stefon Diggs wound up being the talk of Bryd Stadium.
The two-time All-Met from Good Counsel scored touchdowns the first two times he touched the ball and added a … Read More »
On the play of the freshman quarterbacks:
“I thought Perry [Hills] had a good day. I thought he did some good things. Of course there’s going to be plenty of things that he could learn from, and get better, but I think that we didn’t have any issues with delay of game, really didn’t have any false starts. When you talk about the mechanics and the operation of the offense I thought he handled it really well. I thought Caleb … Read More »
Terp fans, we have the real deal!!! Stefon had a 68 yard TD punt return, a 98 yard Kickoff return, and a 11 yard TD reception—all in the first half.
Quarterback Perry Hills impressed, as did freshmen running backs Albert Reid and Wes Brown. Hills, running the first-team offense in a game-like situation for the first time, led the Terps on an 18-play, 76-yard touchdown drive to open the scrimmage. The freshman went 5 of 6 for 27 yards on the drive … Read More »
So now it’s between Perry Hills, Caleb Rowe, and Devin Burns as to who will take the lead.
Some reactions:
Freddy, the eternal optimist, speaks of how a rookie can be loose especially a potential gunslinger like Perry Hills.
Rick, who I informed about 3 o’clock was speechless. As MGN President Rick pours his heart into this team He caught my despair in the message I left. Of course that was more of my feeling sorry for CJ. … Read More »
I am sick to my stomach. Most of all I feel horrible for CJ. He is such a good kid and has worked incredibly hard.
