A horrific defensive half for the Terps

Found October 10, 2009 on Ravens Insider:
PLAYERS: Riley Skinner
TEAMS: Wake Forest Demon Deacons

I had said before the game that I was interested to see how fifth-year Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner would handle Maryland's blitzes. Terps fans, you know the answer but you don't have to like it. How did Skinner do? He led touchdown drives on the Demon Deacons’ first five possessions of the game. The drives went 67, 80, 66, 57 and 77 yards to give Wake Forest a 35-10 lead in the second quarter. Wake had only one punt in the first half, and it came with under two minutes remaining. Maryland's gambling defense needs to be sharp or else it gets burned. Tonight, it's gambling -- and losing. The blitzes are falling short. Downfield, Terps defenders are getting faked out or missing tackles or both. Wake Forest 35, Maryland 10, halftime

Wake is beating the blitzes

Via Ravens Insider  |  October 10, 2009

Pregame: Maryland at Wake Forest

Via Around The Harbor  |  October 10, 2009
Maryland got a nice win last week, upsetting Clemson 24-21 and (somehow) sitting atop the Atlantic Division with a 1-0 conference record, but still has a long way to go for bowl contention at a 2-3 overall record. But, as Chris Turner said, win through the ACC and they can go to the Orange Bowl; at least they took the first step. But Maryland hits the road for the first time in a...
