Highlights from BC/Maryland

Excellent ten-minute highlight package from last night's game. Well, it's a little one-sided, because it doesn't show any of BC's 35 points. Two thoughts:

1) Maybe this is what happens when you say "screw it" and just unleash all your weapons. And the thing is, we've had these weapons since Turner took over against Rutgers. Where was this offense against UVA, Clemson, and UNC?

2) I have zippy voice this morning and it's funny, but if you had asked me if Byrd was as loud as it sounds in these highlights, I would've told you no way. But now that I remember, given that even the old ladies in my section who normally scream at people to sit down were jumping up and down and going nuts last night, I suppose Byrd may really have been that loud.

By halftime, I was openly questioning whether Fridge was still calling the plays (a freaking reverse?!?!). The whole season, we've dealt with run-run-pass, run-run-pass, with no downfield passing attempts, even though we always have the fastest guy on the field (Hey-Bey).

So all of a sudden we're an aggressive, pass-first offense? And Turner looks comfortable? Wow, I sure would have liked to see that in the first 8 games.

Oh, and I was really impressed with how loud Byrd was in person. The fans clearly hadn't given up on the season yet (and obviously the players didn't either), which was really nice to see.
