Maryland at WV....

[RockyTopEmpire]

Slaton is killing them right now....7 rushes, 147 yards and two TDs....with 1:47 to go....

in the first quarter

WVU is making Maryland look like a bunch of fools. This is like the Vols against Cal... on OVERDRIVE.

[RockyTopEmpire]

hahaha, 28 points in the 1st is impressive I don't care who you play

[rwemyss]

Either Maryland is going to be lucky to beat Duke, or the ACC isn't near as good as advertised. I'd think the first one. They look horrible.

[RockyTopEmpire]

they do, do you think WV is that good?

[rwemyss]

No. Maryland really is that bad... plus likely having a bad night. Look at what a bad night in Knoxville did to Cal.

[cibai]

how bad is it when your offense KNOWS it HAS to score on its FIRST possesion just to stand a chance..... but cant even come close. This game was over about 4 min in. What a shame, I was hoping at least for a few quarters of football tonight, instead got only 2 minutes!

[cibai]

BTW when was UT's last thursday game? I seem to remember one when I was there, late 1998-2001. What are the chances of ever seeing one again?

[milohimself]

Nah. The ACC is just that bad this year. An alphabetical run down of the conference:

Boston College squeaks by Central Michigan.

Clemson loses to Boston College.

Duke is 0-2 vs. Richmond (shutout) and Wake Forest.

Florida State displays horrible rushing vs. Miami then squeaks by Troy.

Georgia Tech can't capitalize and take out Notre Dame.

Maryland has thoroughly unimpressive wins over William & Mary and MTSU, and is currently getting slaughtered by West Virginia.

Miami's offense against Florida State was beyond horrendous.

North Carolina is off to an 0-2 start (losses to Rutgers and Virginia Tech).

NC State beats D-IAA Appalachian State by just 13 and lost to Akron, both games at home.

Virginia gets hammered by Pittsburgh then manages a one-point victory over Wyoming at home.

Virginia Tech is off to a decent start, no complaints.

Wake Forest only manages to beat Dook by one.

[rwemyss]

Not a chance. UT is above playing on Thursday night.

As bad as things seem in Pac-10 country right now, a convincing victory for Oregon over Oklahoma can still cement the Pac as the third best conference in the country. The ACC and the Big XII look awful.

Exactly. Anything to avoid putting Tennessee in league with the ACC.

[cibai]

didnt we have one just a few years ago though, when we were an arguably better team? Might have been peyton's last year.

[rwemyss]

WVU up by 28 gets stupid on D. Why throw a guy down while you're 5 yards out of bounds?!?! Despicable.

[RockyTopEmpire]

yeah that was stupid. Maybe we will have another Sugar bowl here, they get a big lead then have to hold off the other team. Would be nice to see a good game, nothing else on
