Maryland vs. Temple

[SWC75]

Jackson throws a pic and Temple drives easily down the field to score. Temple 7 Maryland 0

Two more deflections and Maryland is punting...Sigh...

 

[SWC75]

Followed by my least favorite rule in sports. A Temple blocker gets hit with the bouncing ball, which he wasn't even trying to catch and that's a "fumble".

 

[SWC75]

And Maryland can't punch it in on 4th and 1. Temple too tough.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Temple has already stopped Maryland three times, including fourth and one at the goal line. Temples defense is looking good.

 

[supp]

Uh oh! Hoping they came out overconfident after the beating they gave us last week rather than it being a W T loss.

 

[AAM62]

That’s football man. Weird inconsistencies happen unless your coaching and personnel is dominant.

 

[SWC75]

Maryland misses a field goal. Still down 2-7 with 5:12 left in the first quarter.

I'm a Maryland fan now. the better they look, the less bad we look. Maybe there's something about that #21 ranking.

Temple just had a long run into Terp territory.

 

[JKinPhilly]

Lucky for Temple they had some tape to watch on Maryland.

 

[SWC75]

Sideline reporter said "Maryland very emotionless. Guys are trying to fire the team up."

Emotion has a lot to do with this game.

Playing at Temple just lulls teams to sleep with the empty stadium and quiet crowd. I feel like good SU teams never performed well there.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Yeah.

MD is beating themselves not saying Temple is playing poorly but they should be up 21-7. That fake FG was laughable.

 

[SWC75]

And now a fake field goal gets stuffed. Still 2-7.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Maryland faked a field goal and got crushed.

 

[upperdeck]

this is the maryland we needed last week.. bad play calling, poor throwing, dropped passes.

running easily and jackson looks awful so just run the ball.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Maryland needed to kick the field goal. They want to score too bad. Sometimes, you need to grind out wins. They want to blow you out too fast.

There's something to be said about this. Noon road starts against a team you expect to beat isn't a great thing for a team's energy level and execution.

If we flipped the Maryland and Holy Cross or WMU dates we'd be in the top 20 and hosting Gameday today.

 

[zjscuse]

dear maryland , i cant believe i am saying this but please wake up and get it together and cover the spread... daddy needs free beers tonight at the game!

I get what you’re saying but if we beat Maryland we’d also be in the top 20 hosting game day. I know it sucks to lose but I’d rather play real teams. Holy cross, liberty, wmu tell me nothing unless, god forbid, we lose one of those.

 

[zjscuse]

is are d actually that bad or is this more of a more film and scheme deal i dont get it? or maybe us shooting ourselves in the foot the first couple drives

 

[OrangeinBoston]

This is a very bad sign.

 

[GoSU96]

This is a very bad sign.

Of course it is

 

[SWC75]

"Temple watched Alabama game tape from last year." (Because Locksley was their OC.)

 

[hoopsupstate]

I couldn’t watch either of SU’s first two games, but Maryland looks dreadful today.

 

[SWC75]

this is the maryland we needed last week.. bad play calling, poor throwing, dropped passes.

running easily and jackson looks awful so just run the ball.

And Temple is what Syracuse needed to be last week.

 

[Chip]

Sandwiched between Syracuse and Penn State visits to College Park, this is the least surprising result so far.
