The Terps backline is an interesting situation. You note that among the departed players in the past couple of years is Sean Flatley, now a senior at College of Charleston. We have defenders in the program now that are probably a bit more talented than Flatley but less experienced: Kemp, Lee, White, Woodberry etc. That goes soph-junior-soph-soph. I wouldn't be surprised if all four of them end up in MLS but they got a lot to learn.
Meanwhile, the schedule ain't swiss cheese. The two losses are to ranked teams with UNC at #3 going into the weekend, may move up to #2 after Tulsa got a beat-down from Akron. #15 Michigan State shut-out Northwestern over the weekend and is 7-1 overall, 1-0 Big10.
I wouldn't be too worried. We are still less than halfway through the regular season, there are many battles to be fought, many opportunities to learn.
