Terps vs. Rutgers prediction thread

Great game. The RBs really played great. Turner looks good. The WRs played great. And, a victory over a top 10 team is always nice.

The defense played well...except Isiah Gardner. Is there a worse DB in football? He single handedly gave up about 120 passing yards and a pass-interference call AND 2 TDs in a span of about 200 seconds before halftime. Just...wow. He really is the only thing negative about the Terps performance.

Yeah, other than the SEC there isn't a termendous amount of difference in the quality of any of the BCS conferences. Although considering the raid and the reaction of many ACCers a few years ago (wanting the BEast to lose the auto bid) anytime that conference is at the bottom of the heap of BCS conferences it makes BEast fans happy.

But to get back on topic, it was a great win for Maryland and I'm hoping they'll come up big at least once more if BC is as I expect still highly ranked in November. I honestly didn't think Maryland had it in 'em @ Rutgers after seeing how WVU handled 'em.

The Pac-10 is every bit as strong as the SEC this season, and according to the Sagarin Ratings is #1 among all conferences this week.

In any given year another conference may challenge or even exceed the SEC but in general over time the SEC is at a higher level than any other conference.

Hopefully the Fridge is putting in some good blitz protections b/c we know GaTech's D-coordinator, John Tenuta, is going to blitz Turner back to the stone age. Gotta find the open guy due to the blitz and make the defense pay.

I know I'm not going out on a limb here but that loss to Wake is going to hurt at the end of the season. After these next three games we'll find out what kind of team the Terps really are. I'm thinking they win 2 of 3.
