Today in the SVP Lounge, CT, Zack and Eric recap a wild win in double overtime over UCF and look big picture as the Terps sit at 3-0 after a quarter of the season. Plus: Early thoughts on Purdue and homecoming, what the guys will be doing during the bye week, Laughing At Our Rivals featuring Virginia and Iowa, and looking at the rest of the Big Ten’s weekend.
Topics discussed include:
- Terps are 3-0! Matching last year’s win total
- What was everyone’s reaction to Tyrelle Pigrome’s walk-off touchdown run in double overtime. They guys went wild
- Got to see DJ Durkin’s team respond when it got hit early
- Zack warned us the Bounce House would be rocking
- Eric says this game was about the turnovers, UCF four to Maryland’s zero
- Maryland offense really shut down in the first quarter
- The running game continues to look good, overall. Lorenzo Harrison is the No. 1, Ty Johnson might be at the bottom of the pecking order. Wes Brown to come back against Purdue
- Trey Edmunds is a badass
- Maryland grabs the lead going into the half
- Second half was kind of a blur, lot of defense and ugly play. Terps stay committed to the run
- Eric loved Walt Bell calling the same play for Perry Hills in overtime three times in a row for the score
- UCF with a critical turnover in second overtime on a weird backward pass ruled a fumble. Seemed like it could’ve been just as easily ruled an incomplete pass
- CT was drunk and became irrationally scared when Perry Hills got hurt, totally forgot about who might be behind him. Guys were kind of surprised that Piggy got the call, not Caleb Rowe
- Eric runs around his living room, Zack nearly hits his head on a fan. The guys feel like they’re always apologizing for watching Maryland football
- The Terps get AP Top 25 votes! Get to know your AP voters
- Bye week up next, early thoughts Purdue
- Terps could win this game, crowd should be good with with it also being homecoming. Will the stadium stripe look good? That’s a high risk maneuver. The crowd could quickly disperse
- Purdue’s head coach Derrick Hazell is Randy Edsall Midwest, Bronco Mendenhall is Randy Edsall South – Virginia misses a 20-yard field goal to lose at UConn
- Laughing at our rivals: Iowa loses to North Dakota State. Eric defends Iowa, of course
- Running through teams that will give Maryland the buzzsaw: Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska all with nice wins last Saturday
- What’s everyone doing during the bye week?
