PressBox: Anthony McFarland Tapping Into Potential For Terps Football

 

[BSLMikeLowe]

This game is pretty much do-or-die for the Terps if they want to go bowling. The good news is that Indiana's defense is only ranked 70th in S&P+. If the Terps have been consistent in one thing this season, it is that they steamroll the mediocre/bad defenses, while getting obliterated by the good ones. At #70, the Hoosiers' D ranks lower than Minnesota (#62) and Texas (#50), who the Terps' offense scored 35* and 34 points on, respectively.

 

Offensively, Indiana is only #86, so as long as the Terps' offense can score that should keep enough pressure on Indiana to throw the ball, which should play right into the hands of the Terps' defense, with their knack for INTs (#1 in all of FBS).

 

*MD scored 42 points in that game, but one of the TDs came on a Pick-6

Yeah they need to win this to get to a Bowl.  That'd be an impressive result for this season for the players given all the chaos.

I suspect the fight is gone out of the kids, and who can blame them, but if they are going to circle the wagons, this week is it.

Indiana punts.

[Mackus]

Hill very inaccurate so far but the running game is killing it. Gotta get TDs.

[Mackus]

Lot of really bad over pursuits on that long TD run by Ramsay. Should've had him in backfield.

[Mackus]

Gotta bench Hill. That was the worst throw I've ever seen. Had an easy touchdown to a wide open receiver lofted up high into the air, 20 yards short of where it needed to be, easily picked off instead of an easy score. He just cost us 7 points. No more Kasim today.

7-6 Indiana...Hill picked under 11 minutes left in the half.
