Undefeated And It Feels So Good

The Terps are 1-0.  It sure does feel good to say that.  Undefeated.  For one week at least we can say that Maryland Football is undefeated for the 2010 season.

And with saying that, with that reality comes at least one more week of dreaming of what could be.  Surely the Terps should handle Morgan State this Saturday.  Teams from the FCS sub-division may have given them fits in the past, but the Terps do not usually lose those games.  And with a team that just beat Navy there's no reason to think they will start now.

 

Now the dreams really take shape.  One begins to believe in what could become a magical season.  Seemingly all that stands in the way of being 5-0 heading to a road game at Clemson is a game against West Virginia.  Morgan State, Florida International, and Duke are all cream puffs and should be easy home victories for the Terps.  West Virginia isn't really that scary this year, they just have home field advantage.  It's a toss-up game that now has cautiously optimistic fans thinking 'hey, we CAN do this.'

 

The passing game was non-existent on Monday.  The defense did a lot of bending and gave up a ton of rushing yards.  But the offense also screamed out to a 14-0 lead early.  The special teams units looked good.  When Navy was in the red zone, time after time they failed to put any points on the board.  And when it really mattered, on fourth and goal at the one yard line with the game on the line, it was the Terps that came up with the big play.

 

So give me my positive aspects, give me the win over a solid Navy squad, and give me my dreams of an ACC Championship season.  Because Maryland football is undefeated; and it really does feel good to say that.
