West Virginia is arising off a good-bye seven days since they produces the time of the year along with couple of house accomplishments.
“We were successful with playing fast previous year because we got first downs”, said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen.
“I got moved to running back a little bit then decided maybe this isn’t going to work out”, Howard said. “When you do, you can usually execute at a high level”. Maryland has now been blown out during two of its four games and needs to play a whole lot better to avoid an embarrassing second season in the Big Ten.
Speaking on behalf of all Maryland people exhausted of Randy Edsall and lovers of fun football everywhere: I wholeheartedly approve.
Ohio State should win comfortably but we thought the same thing going into last week’s game against Northern Illinois.
In the Big 12, the Sooners will see many passing teams – Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU and Oklahoma State among them.
West Virginia twice took over in Maryland territory after punts in the first quarter and found the end zone both times, with Gibson taking a short sideline pass from Howard and weaving around several blocks for a 15-yard score and a 21-0 lead. “I don’t know how much it has to do with changing quarterbacks, but we definitely had a good flow in that game”.
Heading into Week 5 of the college football season, the Sooners are 3-0 Straight Up (SU) and 2-1 Against The Spread (ATS).
A win sends either of these teams off in the right direction as they tackle conference play next.
The Wolverines are two-touchdown favorites in Maryland’s stadium. Sadly this game will be played at 11 a.m. “I give him all the credit and respect in the world”.
Following Maryland’s loss to Bowling Green, Edsall stated his frustrations with the offense and how it needed to become a more opportunistic unit.
Maryland drove into West Virginia territory multiple times but came away mostly empty.
GETTING THE QB: Maryland’s young pass rushers have amassed 14 sacks, the second most in the Bowl Subdivision.

UNTESTED DEFENSE: West Virginia has allowed no first-half points this season and figures to get a test from Maryland if the Terrapins can hold onto the ball. A key Saturday will be forcing West Virginia into hard third down situations. Rowe attempted 36 passes, completing only 10 for a miserable 67 total yards and four interceptions to zero TDs. Their defense has been pretty good this far and I think it carries them over the Wildcats.
