Friedgen is Actually This Desperate...

Courtesy of today's Baltimore Sun:Running back Da'Rel Scott, who has fumbled three times in the past two games, has been seen walking around campus carrying a football. Friedgen - who got the idea from a movie - said he suggested Scott keep the ball with him to focus on guarding against turnovers. The movie was "The Program," starring Omar Epps as a fumble-prone running back.Hmm... so things have become so desperate for Fridge that he's now taking ideas from football movies? Maybe soon we'll see him sign a 34-year-old QB who has one year of eligibility remaining a la Scott Bakula in Necessary Roughness (or a la Greg Paulus in Syracuse Orange). Maybe he'll have Chris Turner fire the ball at Testudo to kill the clock on a late drive to try to bring the Terps within 5 TDs of Clemson (a la James Van Der Beek in Varsity Blues) More likely than not, since Fridge is so taken with The Program, those driving along Route 1 tonight, in addition to dodging drunks leaving Bentley's and Corners...
