Eastern Michigan to be the bellweather for the season

Defeating Cal was a huge win, and impressive for the team and coaches. All fans should be ecstatic, and no level-headed Terp had that marked as a win on the schedule on their fridge (lower case, not upper).

That being said, it's easy to "get up" for a big game against a nationally ranked team. As the MTSU game showed us, our guys either overlook lesser opponents, think too highly of themselves, or just flat out don't show up for games.

So Eastern Michigan will let us know where we really are.

If Turner doesn't practice well, if the entire team's intensity leading up to the game isn't there, then we know we just don't have what it takes as a team.

But if we practice well, and it translates into a solid win, then we're in good shape going into ACC play.

 

PS: Some resolution at PK would be great too. I don't care who it is, but someone has to make a FG.

PPS: And let's figure out this Josh Portis thing. Use or lose? Can we see him throw a pass? Does putting him in ruin Turner's "rhythm"?
