ESPN's Heather Dinich Predicts the Terps Will...

Win this Saturday, 17-14. I get the feeling this could be another tight one, as well but I think the point total will be much higher.

Brace yourself for another near upset. The Terps just lost their best corner, Nolan Carroll, and will be facing dual-threat quarterback Dwight Dasher, who leads the Sun Belt Conference and ranks 20th nationally in total offense with 292.5 yards per game. He has accounted for 80 percent of the team’s total yards during that span (585 of 735 yards).

Jeff Barker from The Baltimore Sun Agrees

He says MD by 10 and predicts that WR Adrian Cannon will score another TD. What do you guys think?

Will Yeatman Looking Like a Possibility for Football in 2010

This is actually very cool. Yeatman isn't amazing, but he's a very solid tight end. There might be some rust issues, but he's very naturally talented.

For those who don't know, Yeatman transferred from Notre Dame to play lacrosse, but he also started at TE for the Irish. He's now considering playing for the Terps in 2010. It actually kind of sounds like a done deal. - bbroman

N.C. D-Tackle Has Terps Top 3 - IMS

A subscription is needed to read the whole article but from the jump we know this: His name is Darius Kilgo. (Sick last name for a Defensive Tackle.) He's 6' 4, 295. He has schollie offers from South Carolina, Tennessee, and Auburn. I like.

Terps Defense Has Yet to Force a Turnover

Even more depressing? They're the only ACC D to accomplish this feat. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the Terps join the the rest of the conference and force a turnover against Middle Tennessee State, this Saturday.

Fridge Mum on Punt Returner for This Week

Is it Kenny Tate? Tony Logan? Anthony Wiseman? Logan is probably the top choice when healthy but he's not 100% yet. I'd go with Tate just because of his pure explosiveness.

UM still trying to lease Tyser suites

Nope - still not sold out. I wouldn't expect it to be this year, either. - bbroman

Logan or Wiseman at PR

I doubt we see Tate at PR for the rest of the season, barring injuries or whatever. Friedgen seems to value sure hands at that position more than anything else, and Tate lost a crucial fumble on a PR.

Cannon could score a TD, but I think it depends how the running game is going. If it is dependable, there will be less opportunities for WRs to score. After watching the MTSU special teams against Clemson and Memphis, though, I think Smith has a great chance to take a KR all the way.
