Man, Maryland was supposed to be fun last year.
The Terrapins looked to build off a first-year bowl berth with D.J. Durkin. They had a quarterback named “Piggy.” They took Texas’ No. 21 ranked S&P defense to the woodshed in their own backyard.
Good times. After a rash of injuries, Durkin was forced to play third-string quarterback Max Bortenschlager (not to be confused with Goldschlager) and even fourth-stringer (!!) Ryan Brand. The team literally limped to a 4-8 finish.
The stars from the opener look to rebound in 2018.
