Terps 2009 Football Preview: Game 5

These girls are ugly enough and then they put on purple and orange. How about the clown in the back trying to get in on the photo opportunity, I hate Clemson.



10/03/09 Terps vs Clemson (ACC, 4-4, Overall, 7-6)
2008: Terps Won 20-17

Review and Preview: Clemson had an extremely disappointing season last year, starting out the season ranked #9 in the pre-season polls (goes to show how much those mean) and ended up in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl against Nebraska. Their QB led the ACC in passing (200 yards per game) and CJ Spiller led the ACC in All-Purpose Yards. They had a close game with the Terps in College Park, getting shutout in the second half by the Terps and losing 20-17.

Both teams seem to play extremely well as the away team in this match up. The Terps have looked very good in Death Valley and Clemson has shown their ability to play well at Byrd Stadium. This worries me since we happen to be the home team in this one. It could come down to the running game on both sides. James Davis and CJ Spiller versus Da’Rel and Meggett. Which run game can have a game breaker? Which running game won’t turn the ball over?

The Pick: Clemson had the 36th ranked run defense in 2008 and the Terps were 71st. Not f*cking good for the Terps. I think CJ has a big day with too much speed for the Terps defense. Along with a Terps loss I also predict my drunken blackout to occur during the post game show. Terps lose 24-17. (ACC, 0-1, Overall, 4-1).
