Maryland 38, NC State 31

with yesterday’s loss, i am not ready to throw TOB under the bus like a number of posters at other blogs. i do not see him as having the short comings that some others do. further, when i look at the current depth chart, i see four sophs starting along the offensive line with Crisp as a backup, a soph and two freshman at running back, and a junior and a soph at tight end. even if R. Wilson leaves, there will not be a big drop off in quarterback play with Glennon. with regard to the defense, the starting defensive backs where three sophs and one freshman. they weren’t bad although Tory Smith made them look so-but Tory Holt made the defensive backs of really good FSU teams look bad-great receivers do that. two out of three of an awesome linebacking crew will be back. two of the four starting defensive lineman were underclass man. T.J. Grahm will be back as a receiver. one hopes he will hold onto the ball better next year.
so TOB is building a good program. a division title is not out of the question next year.
