I am excited about the 2013 season. I think we can go 4-0 before we get into ACC play. We should be able to get wins at home over FIU and Old Dominion. The we go on the road to Connecticut for a Sept 14th and have WVU in Baltimore.
Those two are going to be tougher. But I think they are wins we are going to get.
We need to be at 6 wins to be bowl eligible and I think we will make it to 8 wins for the regular season.
Oct 5th at FSU – this is going to be a real tough one for the Terps. Right now I am going with an “L”.
Oct 12th UVA @ Terps – to have a successful season, we need to beat UVA. This is a “W”.
Oct 19 at WF – This looks like another must have game to get to 7 wins. A “W” for now and that makes us bowl eligible.
Oct 26 Clemson @ Terps – Clemson looks loaded again this year. Ranked in the top 10. Randy has a poor record against ranked teams. Looks like a loss. With the “L”, the projected record is now 6-2.
Nov 9 Syracuse @ Terps – After a week off, the Terps host the Orange. Hard to gauge where Syracuse will be under a new coach at this later part of the season. I am going with the Orange because we are going to lose a game that we should win. This “L” has the Terps at 6-3.
Nov 16 at Virginia Tech – Terps have not fared well against the Hokies. Have not beaten them since VT joined the ACC. Not going to win this one either. The “L” brings the record to 6-4.
Nov 23 Boston College @ Terps – Maryland gets back on the winning side of the ledger with their last ACC home game. The “W” gets the Terps to 7 wins.
Nov 30 at NC State – This Thanksgiving weekend match-up is the last ACC game for Maryland. It also, in my scenario becomes the breakpoint for a really good season of 8 wins and just a good season of 7. I am going to be optimistic and go with the “W” for an 8-4 season.
