Walk-ons Defy the Odds, Make Terps Offensive Line Jeff Barker from The Baltimore Sun has a really nice piece on Andrew Gonnella and Paul Pinegar earning scholarships. Stories like these are what makes sports great... Gotta love that. Not a whole a lot of new info in the article but it's still a good read. Obviously, a lot of Turner's success will depend on the O-line but if they can hold up, I think this offense should be better than it was last season. -22? Really? I didn't pencil this one in as a 'W' but I'd be surprised and disheartened if we lose by 22 on Saturday. Hopefully this motivates the players a little..."At the end of spring practice, he'd won the job and I told him that, going into the fall if everything was the same, I'd put him on scholarship," coach Ralph Friedgen said. "I know Gonnella's family was struggling, so I kind of wanted to let them know so they could make plans. Andrew responded that no one was going to take his job away."
"We’re 22 point underdogs, I like it," wide receiver Adrian Cannon said. "I want people to think about it. We’re young, but we have game experience. And there is talent. Our own expectations are the ACC championship and Orange Bowl. A lot of people have those goals, but we’re trying to do something about it."
Rough group play for Venezuela, just 1-3. Definitely a little disappointing, especially with Greivis' pedestrian stats. That said, the bigger thing is that he didn't get hurt. - bbroman

My take: The three starting receivers, (Adrian Cannon, Torrey Smith, and Ronnie Tyler) sound about right. The fact that neither kicker stepped up enough during camp to claim the starting spot is a little worrisome...
