Week 5 is already here. I thought we would be 4-0 at this point. I also thought we could handle IU. I don't see that happening now. Our OL is smoke and mirrors and the DB's are going to get burnt often. We all want to be wrong, but I just don't see the UMD winning this game. Can they, yes, will they I don't see it happening.
My pre-season predictions below.
1. WIN-H vs. UCONN-Do the Terps play this close, or act like a B1G team against wherever they play now? My guess is although the score might be relatively close the stats won't be. Terps 30 UCONN 13.
2. WIN-H vs. MSU-Although MSU may have some talent, they have been up and down. Terp D allows the Terp O to score more easily. Terps 37 MSU 20,
but not that close.
3. WIN-A vs. UVA-This B1G team manhandles the Cavs. Terps take over midway 2H and its not that close. Terps 41 UVA 23.
4. WIN-H vs. Villanova-Solid Vill team that can't hang with this B1G team that will be really finding its grove and confidence. Terps 44 Vill. 17.
Terps D smothers these cats.
5. WIN-A vs. Indiana-A trap game maybe, but a game the Terps NEED to win. They have a new coach who is solid, a lot of transfers, and a new beginning. Don't care, this Terps D keeps the O in the game. Terps 37 IND 20.
6. WIN-H vs. NW. A true trap game but the Wildcats eat too much of the peanut butter without scoring enough. Finally, the Terps will not overlook these guys and take care of business. Terps 31 NW 20.
7. WIN-H vs. USC-The place will be packed, and USC will feel the jet lag. If USC comes in limping, then the Terp D will show them the door. This is a MUST win for the program, a true eye opener for recruiting. Terps 27 USC 20.
8. WIN-A vs. Minnesota. Do the Terps have a major league letdown? Game goes back and forth against a real solid coach but win in the 4Q.
Terps 20 Minn. 17.
9. LOSS-A- vs. Oregon. The wheels finally come off but not until the 2H. Too much talent for the Terps to handle. Big game in big time slot.
Oregon 30 Terps 20.
10. WIN-H vs. Rutgers. Terps pissed off and will piss on the Knights. Lots to play for. Terps 38 Rutgers 20.
11. WIN-H- vs. Iowa. Terps hire the other teams former OC. What? Does this help us? Iowa always solid but Terp O along with a steady D win a close game. Terps 24 Iowa 23.
12. WIN-A-PSU. The PSU fans will have no idea what happened to their team, and neither will the Lions. Terp D will lead the way, with the O being solid and methodical. Terps 27 PSU 20.
Yep, I'm going to be an optimist. In the 4Q of life I'm going against all the so-called experts and all the hype of other teams and players. The D will be the major factor along with a better-than-expected OL. Having 3 OL coaches will make a difference now and in the future.
