MD vs Temple 9/24

[Birds of B'more]

End of the 1st Quarter:

Temple 21

Terps 0

I know Temple isn't the doormat program they used to be, but the Terps are getting pushed all over the field even worse than last week. This is not a good football team.

[Birds of B'more]

Terps get a 3-and-out, and then they rough the punter. Apparently Randy Edsall's discipline mantra only applies to off-field actions. :rolleyestf:

The Terps have been disastrous today. They've got absolutely nothing on defense, and Danny O'Brien looks pretty mediocre. He's missed several targets and has been rattled under pressure.

[Birds of B'more]

As bad as the offense is, the defense is 10x worse.

Yeah, I edited my post - I meant to say defense.

[The Rick]

My goodness, O'Brien has been absolutely terrible today. Even when he's made a good read or pump fakes, he completely misses his target.

[Birds of B'more]

31-0 at the half. Terps booed off the field.

Glad I missed the 1st half. Can anyone summarize? Have the players just quit or something?

I suspect that Fridge pretty much left the cupboard bare. Let's face it, as much as we try to tell ourselves otherwise, this team is devoid of talent.

Terps manhandled by both lines. Poor D playing even worse today. When D makes a stop then ST blows it and gives the ball back. Offense a no show. I think that's it in a nutshell.

Oh.

The Defense forgot that TE can run routes and catch the ball so you have to cover them.

I don't know if you can say they quit....you have to actually start something first. This is just a butt-whipping at the LOS on both sides. We saw the Terps D-line get pushed around by Miami and WVU, but this is even worse. And today the Terps O-line has been awful too. DOB hasn't been great by any means, but he hasn't been as bad as last week....but he's been getting pretty beat up today with the lack of protection.

[Birds of B'more]

My goodness, O'Brien has been absolutely terrible today. Even when he's made a good read or pump fakes, he completely misses his target.

It appears to me that more than DOB being off target, he doesn't seem to be on the same page as his receivers at all. Gotta think the loss of McCree and Tyler, and having to work with so many inexperienced guys, is having an impact.

[Birds of B'more]

Wow, 7 yards rushing after 3 quarters. That tells you all you need to know about the performance of the OL. I think it's pretty obviously where Edsall needs to focus his recruiting efforts.

I cannot believe that as the Terps are getting shut out 31-0 in the 4th quarter that they just played the Under Armour "We must protect this house!" clip on the video board. Great timing!

[jonhilsco]

Really scary thing is MD will see better teams with better players on the LOS. Could be a long season

[Birds of B'more]

Now there's a terrible pass by DOB....off his back foot, 3 defenders nearby, easy INT. The pressure was on him again, but if this game was actually close I would hope he'd have the sense to throw that ball away.
