#4 WV and Maryland

[onegearruss]

Great game so far
7-7 in the First

[rsvl_hogfan4]

I thought I might have been the only one watching this. I guess right as you posted this thread I made one talking about the game too. Hopefully the Terps can pull this off. I expect it to be high scoring. I can win $20 on this game if Maryland keeps it within 23 points and the point total is over I believe 55 points. I don't see WVU winning by that much and I don't see either defense making too many stops.

[onegearruss]

Maryland drove right down the field

[B&GT]

Maryland actually stopped WVU.  I didn't know if they could.  But the "#4" team in the country looks like a DII defense so Maryland might take a lead.  It's really hard to start that deep though.

[onegearruss]

i think they will take the lead this drive

[B&GT]

I don't think that was a wise third down call at all.  The O-line is dominating and the QB tried to sneak around the edge.  WVU does have fast corners.

[onegearruss]

flags are killing both teams this drive

[onegearruss]

WV missed FG

[B&GT]

Wow, Maryland is actually playing some defense.  Cutting it close but playing defense.  That's all you have to do to be in the game with WVU.

[AB™]

I had no idea Keon Lattimore and Ray Lewis were brothers.  I'm guessing it's half-brothers or something.

It seems like every play there is a flag thrown.  This game is much more low scoring than I expected.  May go into halftime at 14-7.

[onegearruss]

there have been alot of flags
and it looks like it will be 14 - 7 at half

[rsvl_hogfan4]

That step back by Noel was nasty.

[rsvl_hogfan4]

I think it is safe to say this game won't get above 55 points....looks like I have lost.

[Father Guido]

Noel Divine 2 carries for 105 yards.  I had forgotten where he decided to go.  Looks like WV has a pretty good version of a RB Tandem. 


...oops the average just dropped.  3 carries for 125, but he got a 15 yrd face mask tacked on to it, so it's all good.  42 yrds per carry.

[The Snowman]

i'm glad devine was able to turn his life around to get up there.  He could be very scary once they get him in the weight room for a whole off season

[AB™]

I haven't decided yet if WVU can compete with the likes of USC, LSU, and OU, but if any of the teams in the Big Least could I'd say it would be the Mountaineers.  I'm still not sold on them though. 

[onegearruss]

they can run the ball very well, but they got stopped by maryland quite a few times

two weeks in a row they have sucked the first half

Their defense would get them mauled against those teams.

Trouble with Marshall and now couldnt pull away from Maryland till the 4th quarter. OVERATED

[mattp_68]

Noel Devine is a BEAST

[onegearruss]

overrated is the theme of NCAA this year

WVU was up 21 on Maryland after 3.  Arkansas was up 17 on Troy after 3.

Arkansas was ranked I think 21st and it was their first game of the season.  West Virginia is ranked 4th and it is their third game of the season.

Yes, but Arkansas should have already been given a berth in the championship game, and the engraver has already checked on the spelling of McFadden.

I must have missed something. I had no idea he mentioned Arkansas in that quote. What is your deal with dissing Arkansas so much? WVU is better than the Razorbacks, but they have not played like a top 5 team this year.

Sure, WVU was ahead of Maryland that much after 3....Well how much was Wisconsin up on UNLV after 3? How much was VT up on ECU after 3? How much was OSU up on Akron after 3? How much was Texas up after 3? How much was Cal up after 3 on Colorado State? Heck, after killing UT, Cal only beat Colorado State by 6. How about the UL/MTSU game. We look pretty good according to your comparisons.

Can someone think a team is overrated without the Hogs being brought up? Sometimes it feels like if you are a fan of the Hogs and they don't play perfect, than you aren't allowed an opinion on these boards unless you absolutely hate Houston.

I'm not sure what you're implying that I've said.  I also am not sure how much better Maryland is than Troy.

You mise well stop now. HA will do nothing but continue to try and diss the Hogs in every post he responds to you with.

Based on some of what I think are his other posts, I don't think he thinks the Hogs are overrated.  (I could be wrong.)  I was just making the point that it's a double standard to think that Arkansas manhandled Troy, but that WVU "couldn't put away Maryland" until the 4th. 

Since he picked Arkansas to win by 17 on Saturday, I'm guessing he doesn't think "not putting away Troy" meant much of anything.

[onegearruss]

what about Michigan how much were they up after 3 ?

oh yeah thats right, they lost, TWICE

[mattp_68]

why dont we just talk about the WVU vs Maryland game..since that is what the thread is about..not how everyone thinks arkansas fans are idiots rather than the darksiders...geez..lets talk some Slaton..or Devine..

It's just a little side discussion about what constitutes being overrated.

Once again, I may be missing something, but how did we not put away troy? Were you at the game? I think we made their QB go 5/19 in the 3rd quarter and we were up 26 and pulled our starters ended up winning by 20. How is that not putting a team away? We were nowhere near impressive, don't get me wrong. However, we did put them away.

[mattp_68]

neither WVU or Arkansas is overrated..MICHIGAN...is overrated...end of side discussion..i think we all will agree on this one 

[HA_Fan]

I'm not saying the Hogs didn't put away Troy.

He set the bar with this:

couldnt pull away from Maryland till the 4th quarter. OVERATED

I should have used "pull" away.  My mistake. 

My point was that if WVU was up 21 after 3 quarters tonight and had not yet pulled away, then by definition Arkansas was even further from pulling away from Troy with a 17 point (smaller than tonight) lead over Troy after 3 quarters.

Ok, I did not see the part where he said they couldn't pull away until the 4th. We pulled away before the 3rd ended. We were up 20,  but Troy kicked a FG right before the quarter ended. We then got ball and made a long drive to get a field goal. I see what you are saying though.

I just don't see what Arkansas had to do with this. I thought WVU was a little overrated before this game. I expected this game to be a close one. I actually thought Maryland would stay with them until about the 10 minute mark or so. WVU just hasn't had a real solid performance against a decent team though. Miami destroyed Marshall and then WVU lets Marshall hang all of those points on them. I think WVU has a great offense, but their defense is suspect which would get them hurt when playing a good team in a bowl, or playing against Rutgers or UL. I expect both of those games to be very high scoring. Rutgers may have the best defense out of all three of those teams.

[HA_Fan]

It had more to do with the poster than with WVU.  He has a "Hogs can do no wrong" thing going on, and I just wanted to point out the double standard.

In reality, the Hogs and WVU both won their games fairly decisively.

Slaton, Devine and White are the best backfield in College football.  When WV has a big game I would not be surprised to see Devine and Slaton on the field at the same time. Rich Rod has always been creative so he has to love that.

To be truthful..i think Devine should see alot more time than he has been seeing..last night..he made Slaton look as if he was the Freshman..

[D-News]

Could have been a great game if it weren't for some many Terps mistakes.

[bulldogs1159]

Where is Devine from?

[rsvl_hogfan4]

Where is Devine from?

Florida. If you haven't seen film on him in high school I recommend you do it. He has some AMAZING plays. I first found out about him when he was a sophomore. I found him on sunshinepreps.net

I am sure you can find them on youtube. He has some of the best plays I have ever seen made by a high school player.

Devine has been nationally famous since he was a freshman in high school. We're starting to see that he has the chance to live up to the hype.

I thought I was the only one that felt that way.

He has also been a father for about as long.

He also ran away from Deion's house.

Not to mention having academics so poor that most top schools never even offered him as they were sure he wouldn't qualify. Surprisingly, another mental midget shows up in the Big East.

If all else fails, you can always end up in Morgantown, they're always looking for character guys.

But I've come to accept it; I take it in pride
This hillbilly's stayin in the hills til the day that he dies

Home of the rhododendrons and the Appalachians, did I forget to mention
West Virginiaaaaaa
If you really wanna know, come on let's go take a stroll down those
Country roooooooaddss, take me home, to the place....
