Here is what could be at stake for the Terrapins Saturday afternoon:
8-4 just sounds light years better then 7-5. Could the Music City Bowl or the Chick-Fil-A Bowl be on the line with a Terrapin victory?
Finally on National TV on the deuce let the nation and recruits continue to watch a feisty, gutsy team continue to battle against Ryssell Wilson.
The Pack is susceptible to deep passes as they continuaaly sell out to the blitz—Torrey put a hurting … Read More »
By the way game time is 3:30 PM on ESPN2.. I hope the answer is yes to the headline question. Beating NC State will be no picnic but the motivation is there. Certainly a bowl in Nashville against say the Volunteers would represent an excellent season.

Ralph after yesterday’s game
Who would have thought? Well this is what it comes down to. Win this Saturday against FSU and then defeat NC State next Saturday and yes we will be playing Virginia Tech in Charlotte for the right to be one of the BCS 10. The prize –a trip to the Orange Bowl.
Some observations of a great day at Scott Stadium :
Compact stadium ———-took 3 hours to get here
Again the d could not stop Marc Verica early- 165 yards passing in first half
Virginia had 14 penalties for the day—however several were for pass interference that saved touchdowns. Early in the first half a UVA corner virtually tackled Torrie that saved a TD –Terps were rewarded with a 15 yard penalty—rule must be changed
UVA receivers were wide open for the … Read More »
