Looking at Maryland-Virginia

Somehow, the Terps are going to have to protect quarterback Chris Turner against Virginia and create some holes for the dormant running game. In other words, I see the key to the game as how effective -- or not -- Maryland's offensive line can be. That's a concern in every game, of course. But blocking for the run game is especially important on Saturday because the Cavaliers have a pretty good pass defense. Virginia hasn’t allowed more than 190 yards passing in a game this season and surrenders an average pf 163.2 passing yards per outing -- 15th fewest nationally. But teams did have some success running against the Cavs, at least earlier in the season. Virginia’s rush defense gave up more than 200 yards in losses to Southern Mississippi and TCU. By the way, it's looking like Virginia RB Mikell Simpson will not play because of a neck injury.
