****Michigan 38 at Maryland 7**** FINAL

[Fatsquirrel]

I'll give it a go with game thread over here. Good luck to the Terps and I hope for a fun, injury free game.

GO BLUE!

This is the early game I'm watching. I pinned the thread for you.

Michigan took the opening kickoff to the house and after a quick Terp 3 & out, Michigan is now inside the Maryland 10.

I'm curious to see which Michigan team shows up... the one who dominated ND, or the one who got hammered by Wisky....

 

[RTR...USN (ret)]

Pretty impressive so far....

 

[Fatsquirrel]

TD!

Kind of a bummer this is Maryland's homecoming, stadium is a ghost town.

Yea, we'll see. Been a very different team since the late 2nd quarter against Penn State. I'm concerned this will turn into an Illinois type performance. Get up big, early, but then mess around and never really put the game away. Need to get some backups some more game reps, especially at QB.

Maryland started the season scoring on damn near every series, and doing it quick, but couldn't stop a couple of decent HS's from scoring on defense. The wheels have kind of fallen off since then, but still a dangerous offensive team.

If there's something Michigan is awful at, it's stopping big, explosive plays. It's how they dominated the box score of the Penn State game, but lost anyway. Been this way for years.

 

[Fatsquirrel]

Terps putting together a hell of a drive.

 

[RTR...USN (ret)]

good third down stop there.

 

[RTR...USN (ret)]

First down.

 

[Fatsquirrel]

Nice interception there! The run defense clearly stayed on the bus today though.

 

[RTR...USN (ret)]

Great defensive stand there.

 

[RTR...USN (ret)]

Maryland got away with a big time hold on that first down.

 

[RTR...USN (ret)]

Maryland seems able to move the ball between the 20's. Let's see if Michigan can hold them again.

 

[Fatsquirrel]

Terps marching up and down the field but miss a FG to keep it 14 to 0.

Michigan needs to get it going on offense and wake the f up on d.

 

[RTR...USN (ret)]

Not only is the Maryland coach a former Bama guy, but the kicker must be too. Wide right. Good defense by Michigan.

 

[Fatsquirrel]

Just keep lobbing 50/50 balls to Nico Collins. The rest of this offensive play calling is trash when combined with Patterson's inability to function with any kind of competence.

 

[RTR...USN (ret)]

Couple of observations:
Mich is having trouble running the ball. Not a good sign with OSU looming.
Maryland is having success running the ball. Not a good sign with OSU looming.
Mich is able to get good pressure on the QB.
