Smith is out for the year with a shoulder injury after starting two games this year. Rookie defensive end Jeremy Navarre (Maryland) was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad.

Say, as a purely hypothetical example, that you're a kid who went to school at DeMatha and grew up rooting for the Redskins. You played football at the nearby University of Maryland, but went undrafted in the NFL. Even if some team wants you, there's no guarantee it'll be the one you rooted for as a kid.Even if that team does want you, there's no reason to assume you'll make the ...

Williams, a former Maryland Terrapin, is the 11th offensive lineman to step into the lineup this year on a unit that has suffered a string of injuries. And with Rinehart out for the season with a broken fibul...

I think the key play was when freshman kicker-punter Nick Ferrara -- who has had a very good season -- couldn't punt the ball out of bounds with the Terps leading and about two minutes left. Florida State's Greg Reid, the ACC's leading punt returner, took it back 48 yards and the Seminoles were in great position to score the game-winning touchdown. Having said that, how many backup punters in college football can do it as well as Ferrara (who averaged...

A two-point conversion pass failed, so Maryland led 19-14. Offensive lineman R.J. Dill cupped his hand to the ear hole of his helmet as if it to say to the Florida State crowd, “Where’s the noise now?” But, just like that, the noise returned. The Seminoles regained the lead on their next possession wh...

I promise. It was the first such touchdown for the Terps in almost eight quarters since starting quarterback Chris Turner sprained his knee in the second quarter against N.C. State two weeks ago and Jamarr Robinson replaced him. It was set up by the defense. The Terps trailed 14-6 in the second quarter when linebacker Alex Wujciak intercepted E.J. Manuel’s third-down pass and ran 82 yards to the Florida State 7. Wujciak had returned an intercep...

Trailing 14-0, Maryland did not have a first down until its third possession. Robinson completed his first two passes of the game on the series. From the Virginia Tech 27, his throw into the end zone for Torrey Smith attracted a 15-yard pass interference penalty, sending the ball to the 12. Nick Ferrara followed with a 36-yard field goal, cutting the Hokie lead to 14-3. Virginia Tech d...

The ACC is out of reach and with a 2-7 record, a bowl is not attainable. Worse, Chris Turner was gone down and has a probable MCL injury, so Jamarr Robinson will take the quarterback position most likely against Virginia Tech. As Scott McBrien said on the Terrapin postgame show, five wins sounds a lot better than two, but the road to try to get there is perilous.Against N.C. State, Robinson took over for Turner who went down, and he seemed to...

Turner headed into the Maryland locker room. Backup quarterback Jamarr Robinson entered on Maryland's next possession and fumbled the first snap. The Terps recovered the fumble. But Robinson didn't attempt a pass on his first series, which ended with a blocked Maryland field goal. For those fans who wanted to se...

He returned it 70 yards for Maryland’s first defensive touchdown since linebacker Erin Henderson got one in 2006. Maryland 14, N.C.

Head coach Ralph Friedgen came out to midfield to see his player. Perez was immobilized and taken out on a stretcher. Duke began the game with 12 straight pass plays. Harder to pass now that the rain has intensified, but it's what the Blue Devils do. Maryland, which started Caleb Porzel at running back, forced the only turnover so far -- a Duke fumble.

That's the bad news for the Terps. The good news is that Maryland is running the ball better early in the game. The Terps' running game has been dormant most of the season. Maryland has 52 rushing yards. Will the rain be a factor? Probably. But the weather didn't cause Meggett's fumble -- a hard tackle did.

Hartsfield would have the hand encased in a club-like wrap or cast. Hartsfield suffered the injury last week at Wake Forest. "If he starts favoring it and can't tackle, then I’ll get another guy in there," coach Friedgen said today. "I am a little concerned about it. He's basically playing with one hand."

The Deacs had the type of team that could beat Maryland, a strong passing team against a weakened secondary, and they exploited this advantage over and over again.It is hard to place blame in correct places. Wake Forest is just a better team, could the secondary have really stopped Riley Skinner? Could the Terps running game be effective with the "running back by committee?"...

The Terps scored in five plays on a 1-yard Davin Meggett run to tie the game. Smith is just having a wondrous season. Relying on the run, Wake Forest drove 67 yards in five plays to take a 7-0 lead on its first possession.

But, as Chris Turner said, win through the ACC and they can go to the Orange Bowl; at least they took the first step.

The move was definitely not expected - the possibility was lurking throughout the season and his exit was probably hastened by threat of injury and the idea that he has nothing left to prove.
