philibusters Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Thought the team played well. Offense stalled for a couple quarters, but got the job done if the first and fourth quarter. Defense played well after the first 18 minutes or so. This team definitely has holes but something like 7-5 does seem possible after Saturday.

Long n Left Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) It was a big win to open the season, but we’ve seen this before (Texas), then they’ve regressed to the teams we’ve watched the past 10-15 years. Locksley needs a season of multiple big wins to pull Maryland football out of the shadows it’s been hidden in for some time. 7-5 would be a quality season this year, considering their schedule. Terps will always play the big 4, Ohio St., Michigan, Michigan St., and Penn St., every year unless the B1G realigns. They also have Indiana and Rutgers from their division, and play Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota from the other division. The Illinois game will be pivotal, as it likely will be the difference between a 4-0, or 3-1 start. The meat of the schedule beings after Kent St., and for Maryland to make a true push for relevance, they need to beat 2 of the big 4 in their division, as well as winning 2 or 3 from the Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Rutgers games. A tall task, but it’s what needs to happen if they want to be noticed, by media and recruits. Edited September 6, 2021 by Long n Left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I think they need to beat Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, or Penn State to truly be recognized and take the next step. They showed bursts against WV of having a really good offense. I think it is possible as long as Locksley can get them to put 4 quarters together.

Long n Left Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Terps looking like crap tonight. Locks gotta get em in and find where to attack the Illini D. Don’t think Okonkwo has had a target all night yet. Boone needs more carries too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philibusters Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 It was a lot like WFT's win against the Giants. In both games I thought the team would win by 10 points or so and in both games they won the game on the final play of the game. In both games the QB put up big numbers and in both games the last 5 minutes were wild. Maryland was very lucky to get that win, but they faced adversity and responded. After having no turnovers in the first 10 quarters of football, two different running backs lost fumbles on back to back offensive plays after they had taken 10-3 lead and driven inside the Illinois 10 yard line. After the second fumble we were in a 10-10 game with Illinois having the ball in Maryland territory. Later, Illinois got a TD on a 70 yard play where their running back had a 30 yard only to fumble only to have an Illinois receiver scoop up the ball and run the remaining 40 yards. The next possession, Maryland ties it on a 40 yard TD catch by Demus called back on a chop block that had no effect on the play and where the freshman running back was just trying to help not away the O-Lineman was going to go low. All this was demoralizing. It felt like Maryland was going to lose. They were not playing terrible, they were playing okay--but they were going to lose to a team they had a talent advantage on because the chips were not falling their way. Then they got back the ball with under 5 minutes left and went on an 86 yard TD Drive to tie the game. Illinois got the ball back with a minute and a half and got a first down, only to give up sacks on the first and second play and an intentional grounding on 3rd down to set up a 4th and 39. Maryland got the ball back at the 50 with 30 seconds left and two timeouts and hit a 26 yard pass on the first play and kicked a 32 yard fg as time expired for the 20-17 win. Just a crazy game, but a conference win on the road 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Up a TD and driving to make it a 2 poss game in the 3rd and it was a red zone fumble by Fleet-Davis Then a clinic on terrible tackling. That’s how you lose. Oof. Glad they won, but oof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philibusters Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Taulia is playing great. That said, from my observations he still has holes in his games. When his first read is there he is very decisive and gets rid of the ball on time. When he has to go through his reads he is not near as effective. He is mobile in the pocket, but I thought his biggest struggles against Illinois were when they dropped 8 into coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
