It’s been discussed all week that freshmen Caleb Porzel and DJ ADams will probably play this weekend due to the Da’Rel Scott injury. Now terrapintimes.com reports that 2 freshmen offensive linemen, Pete DeSouza and Nick Klemm imight have to burn the redshirts if any injuries occur to the line.
Tough news for the Terps this week as Bruce Campbell is definitely going to miss the Wake game. Last week the offense virtually collapsed after Bruce left the game. Look for quick drops by Turner and screen passes.
From the moment Campbell left the Clemson game, the offense virtually shut down. He will be sorely missed Saturday. Look for the Terps to utilize some screen passes to combat the wake Forest rush.
Monday it was announced Maryland will play UVA Oct 17 at 4PM on ESPNU. At least that’s an upgrade from 360.

Cut the turnovers to 0 even if we have to play a more conservative game.
Stop the ridiculous penalties
Probably a special teams touchdown from Torrey or Tony Logan
This was just announced with one addition that will not make any Terrapin fan happy. The game will only be televised on ESPN 360. Say no more.
From our first offensive series against Cal this team has shown a propensity for mistakes. Here is my question—why so many mistakes. Are the players so overmatched there is an overanxiousness as the play begins? If we have 0 turnovers and just a few penalties against Clemson will we win? Did Chris Turner have such a bad game because he is hearing footsteps from anticipated pressure? Why are our running backs so ineffective after years of standing out? Why does … Read More »
