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.
Look for Danny OBrien to have a big game Saturday. Perhaps with the pressure of a huge game , #5might have been under wraps. Not next Saturday there is absolutely nothing to lose. A … Read More »
Maryland’s Da’Rel Scott hopes the third time is a charm. On Wednesday, the senior was placed on the watch list for the Doak Walker Award, which honors the nation’s top running back, for the third-consecutive season. After a spring of running track for the Terps and an impressive preseason camp, Scott is hoping to return to his 2008 form when he rushed for 1,133 yards (seventh-highest single-season total in school history) en route to first team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors. However, … Read More »
Some observations of another disappointing loss:
Jamarr Robinson looked excellent in defeat. In the series he was in , Jamarr threw 3 on the money bullet passes. He also engineered the last TD drive to close the gap to 19-17.
Torrey Smith finished a brilliant season with a TD reception late in the game.
35000 at the game today with the student sections obviously being effected by theThanksgiving holiday.
Alex Wujciak had 12 tackles today.
It was an emotional for … Read More »
Ouch–8 hours later and this one still stings.
Jamrr Robinson’s stock rose sharply today. He was cool, calm, and sharp today. Jamarr was 20-27 with no interceprions and many pinpoint passes.
Da’Rel Scott was back today and played superb but I can’t understand why he always heads out of bounds and never cuts back.
How many times did Maryland run the flanker screen?
I loved the way the Terps went for broke all day. But then when they could … Read More »
It’s a character game game for the Terps. But I believe it’s a great test for QB Jamrr Robinson. I am curious to see if Coach Franklin instituted any option type running this week since Georgia Tech shredded this team when they met. Jamrarr has that capability and combine him with the return or Da’Rel and toss in speedster Caleb Porzel and the game should be interesting, At least it is on real TV –Channel 13 at high noon.
What do the Terps have to do to have a chance to win:
Contain CJ Spiller and Jacoby Ford–2 of the fastest athletes in College Football
Chris Turner must turn his game around after his worst performance as a Terp and stay away from DeAndre McDaniel
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
The No. 1-ranked Maryland field hockey team pulled away from No. 3 Wake Forest, 4-1, Saturday in a classic conference rivalry match. Four Terps scored in the win, while senior goalkeeper Alicia Grater notched four saves to keep the Terps perfect at 10-0 (2-0) on the year. This game was a rematch of last year’s national championship game and ACC championship game, in which the Terps claimed both crowns. … Read More »
Yes the defense has been very suspect the first 2 weeks, but despite the lack of an experienced offensive line, the offense has moved the ball. Four trips to the red aone last week, 4 touchdowns. This will be Pinegar’s 2nd week starting at left tackle. Turner has been playing well and I can’t see MTSU stopping the Terps.
Nick Ferrara booted a 26 yard field goal capping a 4th quarter comeback and leading the Terps to victory. James Madison moved the ball on the ground
at will against the Terps until the final drives of the game. QB1 Chris Turner through quickly with a one step drop as I predicted would happen. The pass rush never had a chance … Read More »
