Injury Update

According to Ralph Friedgen, Terps running back Da'Rel Scott re-injured his shoulder, which is initially injured during the Cal game. Fridge didn't say whether or not he thinks Scott will be ready for the Virginia Tech game, just that his shoulder is really sore today.

The other big injury for the Terps on Saturday was to linebacker Dave Philistin, Maryland's second leading tackler, who injured his shoulder during the first quarter. Fridge said that they weren't sure the extent of Philistin's injury and will know more after he has an MRI. Hopefully he just bruised his shoulder and didn't tear his rotator cuff. Maryland can't afford to lose any more defensive players, especially after losing Sr. Kevin Barnes and because Maryland's defense is currently their biggest weakness.

Injuries and rankings

In spite of the injuries, Maryland has continued to focus and prove that they can perform to win the game. Hopefully,any additional injuries will force the next string of players to prove themselves and come through for the team and UMD (to really get the respect).
For the rankings….I was partly hoping that they would not be ranked. You can look at some professional teams who too experience being placed as an underdog and they rise for the occasion and they win. The sociology of it all is amazing and yes we the fans too hope that Ralph and the rest of the coaches can get the team up to win out. It would be SOOOOOOOO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
