Maryland Defense: (starters back=6, now 5)
Maryland D

Maryland Offense: (returning starters=6 now 3)

Maryland O

Maryland Special Teams: (return)
Really solid FG kicker here, would that we could…punt game is decent. Stronger at KO returns and defense of same (7th best) , pretty good in punt-coverage as well. (Special Teams letter-grade: highest possible B+++, only the PR unit needs a bit of mustard)

Forum Guide:
Closed for repairs!
(as neither A.c.c. football team has a single solitary common head-to-head opponent; go fig?!?)

The main thing vs.a beat-down Maryland team is ... what?

Goodness gracious!Terps OUCH

     Although I’ve gotten lower Chi or energy reports all week long post what the Military calls a “maximum effort” vs. The U; and post a very physical game prior to that at Bee.Cee. Maryland just does not have what it takes here sports-fans. They don’t pass the acid-test even if you are scrambling to field a D- in Chem’ Lab over in Davidson Hall as I type. At least not any more. 1o6th in TFL (Tackles For a Loss) allowed is a problem; that’s a recipe for producing numerous Lo.FM (Longfield Management) situations, that is a recipe for becoming uno-dimensional vs. a 3rd ranked Bud Bock defense in total defense terms. Such are the ingredients for a very long Terrapin offensive afternoon. Despite the fact that this is about as disciplined of an Atlantic Coast foe as I’ve seen on film all year. As this Terp’s staff was giving you all that their players gots; right up until the players starting giving the Terrapin training room all they had.

However, and returning to such an insalubrious script; ditto the fact that Maryland’s total offense has free-fell or outright plummeted by right at 100 yards per game on average ever since the slaughterhouse or M*A*S*H unit season they call the last handful of games erupted. To read the Terrapin injury report is to cringe | to read the Maryland injury report with any measure of compassion is to Pray.

Simply put, this is the longest A.c.c. injury report I’ve ever seen. Period, full-stop, game-over … as this gridiron contest already is; and mind you, this was a rather sporting Maryland football squad just about a month ago. Now you ask? Not so much.

Virginia Tech=2o, Maryland=o

“LETS GO!“

“HOKIES!“
