Coach Talk

Terps
Deploying a lineup that nearly reached the century mark this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we move on to what ought to be a favorable matchup in Week 11.
Road Warriors
Keep your head held high, Road Warriors! Listen, I've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes free points can just miraculously appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... it probably would've taken some extreme wizardry to find an extra 22 points for you in this matchup.
