Maryland sucks...

Locksley sucks as a HC. Always has been and always will be. He had weeks to prepare for us. They probably knew every single tendency down to a T. They didn’t bother with Howard at all and any pre prep they would do for Temple was probably ignored to use the time for SU. That bit them in the ass against Temple too.

100%
 
And yet Liberty will most likely be 7-2 headed to BYU. Clemson is Clemson.

Just win the game.

Maryland prepped all off season for our game, whereas we prepped for Clemson.


Yep. You really have to look at it like a total one off. Team had not yet played a home game, Tommy and the OL still figuring things out and a defense overconfident and unprepared.

Maryland has more talent but isn't as good a team as Western Michigan. If anything they are equal overall, Lester a better coach. Western Michigan has more experienced talent and likely beats UM by a TD or two. Again blip on the radar for a team still yet finding themselves.

I dont care how long they have to prepare... that was the worst game of Dino's career. The game was out of hand after the first quarter... no excuses, terrible
 
MD playing in the Big 10 circled the game against SU back in spring as their bowl game of the year. Holy crap, what are they Colgate? This is the only game they had to prepare for all year? Wow, some crazy posts.
 
No inside info from me but...My only explaination for the Maryland game is Maryland had all of our signals. It was amazing how maryland always had the proper play called for our defense that game.
 
Luckily we don't measure entire seasons on one game. And when we do.. well that will mean it's a good problem...
Agreed. I'm hoping we can get it going... but I fear that last week and this week wont tell us much (except were higher than a MAC level team and higher than an iffy FCS team). Answers come when we play ACC

Bowl game? No. But their focus for the pre season?? Absolutely. What is so crazy about that? The results so far give it decent merit. Now, week to week they can't hack it.

No not the only game they had to prepare for all year. But the only game they had to prepare for preseason being sandwiched between Howard and Temple (they thought). Locksley blows.
 
I mean whatever makes you guys feel better.

That was a horrid loss.

I mean I can go with we suck and will be lucky to snag 5 wins this year if that resonates better with you? Embarassment, disappointment .. better?
 
Maryland against Penn St. looks like Syracuse did against Maryland. Bad tackling, confused on defense, Penn St. players running wild in open space. You are seeing the real Josh Jackson tonight because Penn St. is putting pressure on him and the Penn St. secondary is playing tight coverage. Two bad INT's already. Locksley looks lost too. I hate to say it but that loss to Maryland now looks like a really embarassing loss, a loss that can not be explained.

At the end of the day though it’s a loss like any other. These are 18-23 year old kids. The transitive property doesn’t apply. Teams progress and regress during the year all the time based on what they have between the ears. Don’t get me wrong that loss sucked but it does not define the season. It does mean though this team has a ton of work to do.

The rationalization and spin here couldn't be more on point. Additionally, I don't care what anyone says, the basketball sanctions somehow still played a role here too, and for anyone that can't see this...well, I can't help you. ;):)

And the hand wringing- season is toast and we suck posts are just as on point. Anyone who can't see we are staring at a non bowl season is just as helpless right?
 
If you want to go ahead with the snark, go ahead. They clearly prepped off-season for us, and the team wasn't prepared for them. The team was sleep walking, focused on Clemson.

Maryland has proven who they are and we will prove who we are when we finish 8-4 or 9-3.

I don't know how many here are honestly saying at this stage that the 'season is toast' when there's still so much of it left. It's just frigging hilarious, in my opinion, that that Maryland debacle is getting played as a "it was their Super Bowl" type thing, especially with them being in the B1G, with the likes of OSU, UM & PSU.
