Did they fall off after he left?

No clue, I'm way to lazy to look it up. Just pointing out having a Heisman winning QB really helps lol.

You know what’s weird? I am definitely disappointed and losing like that sucks... but I’m just not worried, at all. It’s actually kind of amazing, considering I’m the most stressed out person on the planet. I appreciate everyone’s opinions and I totally understand the concern, but I think everything is gonna be just fine. Dino is gonna be fine, DeVito is gonna be fine, the defense is gonna be fine. I think it needs to be made very clear to Ward that he puts up a stinker like that again, he’s getting demoted (at the very least). I appreciate the Ohana, but this is a job and he’s not performing. It’s pretty simple.

The defense did absolutely NOTHING to stem the tide, save for Cisco's brilliant INT. Maryland punted 3 out of 13 possessions and I'm not sure any of them were 3 and outs, yet you seem to think the defense wasn't a primary reason for the loss? You could turn your statement around and say the defense needed to force a few 3 and outs to get the offense back on the field, too. Bottom line is that the offense far outperformed our defense. We averaged 466 yds/game last year and got 400 yesterday with limited possessions. How can you say the offense is the reason we lost? Just crazy.

Please point out where I said that. I will wait.

Yeah, sometimes you lose because your D has a bad game and the opposing O was average and took advantage. Today looked like a very good O playing against a D that played its game.

They might be for real.

Still feel Ward screwed today up. Playing soft zone and not blitzing much and as I’m thinking this what the hell is up with Blacks stance. He got murdered all game. Worst dline stance ever with 0 explosion of ball then got drove to lb.

Ward is an average coach. With this talent there is absolutely no excuse for the complete collapse.

Some of the teams on our schedule look a lot less beatable looking through the lens of yesterday's beat down.

Yesterday was a perfect storm for Maryland. Our team was cocky coming off a shutout and the 10 win year. They were playing with that whole #79 stuff going on, they’re at home and have several new stud transfers.

I’ll be absolutely shocked if Maryland doesn’t end up a top 3-4 team in the BiG. They looked legit everywhere.

We’ll be looking back at this loss in 3 months completely different than we view it right now. I still expect a 8 win season including the bowl. Hopefully now that the players got knocked down a peg they’re ready to listen to what the coaching staff is listening to and we can play a more competitive game next week.

I mean they are winless as a program vs PSU/OSU/UM since 2014 when they beat us in the Dome. Not sure beating us means they are ready to beat those schools. Not sure they don't ahve their own issues with feeling invincible like our D did after friggen Liberty and have a let down vs Liberty.

Whats sobering is that peer programs like them just look like they have more talent. Take a school like NC St they lose Meyers and Harmon early to the NFL and their new WRs have a lot more pop than our group which returns nearly everyone.

NC State and Maryland do have more talent than us - we’re gaining on them but not there yet. It doesn’t help that they are both in talent rich areas and have had longer stretches of relative success than us.

This is going to take time.
