Md hits the top 25

It always makes me uneasy when I see any of the Men’s teams hit the top 25. It is almost as if it were a curse. I hope that the team remains focused and eally takes one game at a time. The team needs to drive hard, offensively and defensely. Ralph and co. must keep both sides of the VT team questioning every play we put on the field. They can do it…there is not doubt in my mind. Kicjing has come together and the defense is very strong, except more pressure needs to be placed on the QB at the very beginning of the game. SHUT THEM DOWN!!!!!! Go Terps and win against VT Thursday.
