Maryland’s defense started out the game strong and was able to give the ball to the Terps O.

Maryland’s D is going a great job controlling the flats, stopping screens and doing a great job stopping a VA. Tech reverse. They’re getting dominated up front, as Tech’s O-Line, which has between 50-100 lbs. on MD’s d-line, is opening up big holes for Tech’s running back.

On this second drive, Maryland is getting killed up front. IF this doesn’t change, Tech is going to control this game all night with the run

…and now it’s first and goal for Tech.

This game might have to be a shootout for the Terps to win unless our D can step up and stop Tech’s run.

Lets see if Turner and the offense can respond…

On a 3-18, Turner gives his the ball and he gets out of it and picks up several more yards to make Egekeze’s kick a lot easier.

Agreed about Scott…he’s definitely timid and afraid to get hit and turn the ball up field. Where is Meggett?

I could understand not putting him in if he was significantly worst than Scott, but the drop off in talent is very small…

Our coverage has been terrible on every kickoff

Looks like Cosh heard you talking…we’ve got pressure on the QB from blitzes all the sudden

Damn it all…we look like two different teams in the beginning and end of these drives…

Wrap your arms around and go below the center of gravity guys! Get low!

If we can hold them to a FG, that would be huge.
The D is going to get tired if our offense keeps stalling during their drives…

What’s the deal with him? Why have we never head anything about him before tonight?

This is what I hate about instant replay….he clearly didn’t get in, but they just don’t have the right camera angle to overturn it. And how the hell that official way down the other end who signaled TD could see it was a TD is beyond me

A big run, a reverse with Hey-Bey…something. We need to score a TD

Why do you start a drive running that reverse? Why do you risk that on such an important drive.
And our kick coverage is crappy again

Seriously Cosh, there is a reason why you’re no longer a defensive coordinator for any of the awesome coaches you’ve been a coordinator for.

And now Fridge is giving it to Cosh…I wonder if Cosh called the TO and he didn’t know

If you’re not going to send pressure on 3rd and a million, don’t give up such a big play!!!

Seriously, fire Cosh after this game

Only 4 rushing yards for the Terps
129 rushing yards to Va. Tech

COME ON! MAN UP! DIG DEEP!

And by score, I mean a TD

Hopefully we can do something with that penalty

Someone lit a fire under his butt

HEY-BEY!!!

Right back in it!

Defense has to respond to what the offense just did.

A 3 and out would be huge

Our defense is terrible.

Lucky for the D…they should have had 2 sacks and a pick on that drive…but they still hold and we’ll hopefully get a good drive

Great field position

YES! THE BREAK WE NEED!

After muffing a punt, Va. Tech’s corners pick up a incomplete pass to Hey-Bey and run 83 yards, despite the play clearly being blown dead. As a result, Tech had to take a timeout so their corners who just ran 83 yards could get a breather,

He just got his clocked and the loser on Va. Tech lead with his helmet. Turner also took a late hit and no call.

Tech plays dirty…guess that’s why both Vicks went to school there.

Got a field goal…only down 7 now…

we are physically not up to the competition. We lose the man to man matchups regularly. If we win because of some big plays I will be happy but we still don’t recruit the kinds of players teh top wenty teams do. That can change, i think the incoming class is a nice one, with a couple of big possibilities still out there (Jelani and Ankreh, are you reading?) but we just get our ases kicked consistently on the LoS. Until we can win that battle, we are a fringe team. We can’t win the big tough one on one battles consistently and that is still where most big games are won. We don’t tackle well enough, drive block well enough, pass block well enough. The fact that we are in this game and our record are mighty big kudos to our coaching staff. But it still all comes down to Franklin and the recruiting.

MD was just called for a hold and you could hear Fridge yell “HOW ’BOUT CALLING THAT BOTH WAYS!”

Couldn’t agree more. Tech is holding on every single big run play and nothing is being called.

Tech is blitzing like crazy on 3rd and long and Turner can’t handle the pressure…he’s not getting accurate throws.

They better overturn this…should be 4th down

Need to stop them on 4th

Why not send pressure? We’re only sending 4 in on 3rd and long.

I blame Cosh

These officials are beyond terrible. Va. Tech RUNS INTO Williams before he snaps the ball and they don’t call anything. NOTHING. Unreal. Un-freaking real. The refs in this game are as ball-less as the Hokies.

How much is Boomer paying you ACC refs?

Seriously.

This team can’t step up on D when it has to and it doesn’t have the big play makers on defense to be an ACC title contender this year. I think Terp fans should be happy with an 8-4 record. Maybe 9-4 if we win a bowl game.

but only losers whine about the refs
