Again, this was not the type of victory that elicits an attitude that the winning will continue, but again following last years 2-10 campaign, any win is important. Especially ones where you are favored. If there was any legitimate chance the Terps were going to get into a bowl game, the game vs Duke had [...]
When you are coming off of a 2-10 season, it leaves a lot of room for improvement. In fact, the Terps would probably be hard pressed to put in a worse defensive effort than 2009. Let’s hope they aren’t up for that challenge. Though there was plenty of finger pointing to go around, the Terp [...]
The Terps did just enough to squeak by James Madison last night at Byrd Stadium in over time, but late in the 4th quarter, they were dealt a bigger loss. Nolan Carroll suffered a broken tibia, and you can start to see how this season is going to go. Carroll is the one corner who seems [...]
First of all, even with the game being such a downer, the trip its self was everything I hoped it would be (minus a football win). I think Bob summed it up when we were walking back to our room, there were so many times on this trip where I thought it was the highlight [...]
When you scrimmage yourself, there is always two ways to look at things. All the headlines yesterday were about how good the defense was, and for a second you get very excited. Then you realize they are playing the Terps offense and you begin to get concerned. Now, it is after all a scrimmage and [...]
The theme of the 2009 Singing Day Celebration was the focus on OL’s, but Ralph Friedgen also got a lot of depth at the defensive line position. I don’t think you can ever have to many DL’s, injuries always seem to be creeping up, and then there’s academic eligibility, people dropping out of school, and [...]
The Terps held their second scrimmage yesterday at Byrd Stadium. Last weeks scrimmage belonged to the defense. This weeks belonged to Torrey Smith and the offense. Smith had 5 catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns. He also recorded a TD with a 96 yard kick off return. Chris Turner again didn’t have great numbers, [...]
The first true Maryland football scrimmage took place Saturday. The day belonged to the Terps defense. There were four interceptions (two by Kenny Tate), eight sacks, and a blocked FG attempt. Seeing stats like that from our defense remind me of a line from We Are Marshall. “The offensive line isn’t so good. Yeah and [...]
