Look when lots of those yards were "rung up".

It was after the O finally started to click and the D relaxed. We held MD back for about 3.5 quarters. Even Venables admitted that his only disappointment was just that. We essentially gave them 14 points by slowing pursuit of the ball midfield. We did the same against NCSU and let them convert 4, that's FOUR, consecutive 4th downs.
We probably wouldn't do it against a better team or when the score stays closer. It's not good football, but for whatever reason it's the way the players play. Even their coaches aren't thrilled with it.

that was on their final two touchdown drives. I understand facts go over the head of lounge trolls, but wise up get your facts straight. Two drives that had no bearing on the outcome of the game. Didn't like giving up late TD's, but the defense played excellent when it mattered.

Just couldn't punch it in to start. If at least 2 of those are TDs, no one is saying a thing today.

Good? Count the turnovers. 3. That's good?

The offense did what they had to do to win, but playing "good" didn't come until the 4th. Magically, when Boyd is given freedom to use his feet when he needs, his entire performance shifts and the whole squad follows. Lesson learned, maybe.

Maryland drove the ball down the field 3 times on us. One ended in an INT. The other 2 were against a prevent when we were up big. When the game mattered, they gave up 13 points - one chunk play and stifled Maryland when the offense put them in a bad spot twice. The defense played well all game for us.

No. 4 in NCAA in 3rd down conversion percentage, No. 1 in sacks, No. 30 in scoring defense (where it really counts) ahead of LSU and South Carolina. I see a lot to feel good about on that side of the ball.

The simple fact is our secondary does not seem smart enough to match up in zone coverage and we get lost. This leaves wideouts wide open. There were some drops and overthrows that bailed the D out. Winston did not miss these which is why we got smoked by FSU. I think we may be better lining up in man to man most of the game.
Also, the pressure with our front for has been missing the last couple of games. I think Beasley would be better served staying for his senior season. (Hopefully he feels this way.)

If the O did it's job and got Touchdowns, and not Field Goals, this game would have been over by halftime. The score should have been like 27-7 at half, but because the O is in a funk, they let Maryland hang around. That is NOT on the D.

The D certainly has issues as well.

Too many missed tackles, bad angles, breakdowns and big plays, especially against a team like MD.
