Hunt struggled with his accuracy-he seems less comfortable with throwing to our best playmaker (Estime) b/c of his size or lack thereof
PTG and AAM were excellent, as were the OL, even with the penalties
Gotta find a way to get the ball to Estime on the move like Maryland does for Diggs
Hate seeing Shafer punting on the other team's size of the field in a reasonable distance for the 2nd week in a row (this was worse because we were losing and didn't have time to mess around). I know he's a defensive guy, but it's a loser mentality to me. In almost every game the rest of the year we're going to have to put up a good amount of points and we're only going to get so many chances. It's worth the 20 yards of field position.
Shafer dodged a bullet after Maryland got a couple of penalties after his penalty to help keep them out of the end zone
Love Ben Lewis-he is tough and reminds of a poor man's Alec Lemon (wouldn't mind right now to catch pass in the middle of the field).
Don't have confidence in Broyld to make a catch in a big spot-have seen too many drops
Not as excited about our 2nd half Defense as others-Think Maryland wasn't just laying keep away at that point. When it mattered, they owned us
When is the last time we blocked a punt against a "BCS" team? When's our turn? On that block, it seemed like 2 or 3 Maryland guys could've blocked it
Why do we never have numbers when we throw bubble screens like Maryland did?
The good news: Even with all the breakdowns, we score instead of the pick 6 and it's anyone's game. Couldn't recover from that, especially when we never go on 4th down unless it's 4th and 1.

With how many mistakes we made, it's a testament to how far we've come talent-wise that we were in the game at all. It was frustrating to watch because we saw the team move the ball yesterday and keep coming up tantalizingly close. We know this team has potential, and that's why we're so frustrated. It's a long season, and plenty of time to recover from this game. I really, really think we are going to pull a big upset this year because we have more talent than we show in games like this past one. Eventually, we will get overlooked and put it all together.
