Mikell Simpson could play against Terps

Running back Mikell Simpson had four touchdowns in Virginia's 47-7 victory over Indiana on Saturday night. But Terps fans, of course, remember Simpson for something else -- that nationally-televised 18-17 Virginia win in 2007 in which the tailback shredded Maryland with 271 all-purpose yards. And he was still a reserve at the time. Simpson caught 13 passes in a game that is one of Maryland's most notorious in recent years because the Cavaliers drove 90 yards at the end to win it. Sorry to remind all of you Terps fans. Not that you'd forgotten anyways. Simpson hurt his neck on Saturday. But coach Al Groh indicates he might play. If he does, the coach said he'll need Simpson to be prepared not only as a runner, but also as a pass blocker against blitzes. "Maryland does bring a variety of different-looking schemes which will be challenging, not only to the offensive line, but particularly to the backs," Groh said.
