could we have lost to the clusterfuck that is Maryland football. They have fired their coach and the program is in disarray according to paper reports..........https://www.chron.com/sports/colleg...raws-ire-of-students-politicians-13352878.php
Blown coverages, lack of discipline, playing to the level of competition. This team could play Clemson as close as La.Tech. In fact could beat Clemson and lose to LA Tech. That is why every game is close. Hopefully Herman figures out a way to prevent that moving forward. One way is "beat the team by the point spread or gassers" but I'm mean.
Maryland showed up with the perfect offensive plan (misdirections and sweeps literally every other play) and Sam was in 2017 mode with his ball protection and mindfulness of the defense. We weren't prepared for anything because we had no clue what they would come out with. Canada's offense is a lot different than what they threw at us last year. Other teams quickly realized what Jones brought to their offense against us, and have responded nicely by limiting him in pretty much every other game. Hill doesn't turn the ball over much.
