Eastern Michigan Sim 08
Here we are. Not only did we have an exciting Sim last week, we had an exciting game. Let's be honest, none of us expected it, but none of us were surprised by it either. The sims are 3-0, while the real Terps are 2-1. Heyward-Bey is getting the pregame hype. Corso dons the Testudo costume and we are all set. I took it upon myself to assume Scott was going to be out, and Obi is still kicking. Skinner is out, and I feel like someone else is out, oh yeah Richard Taylor. So now that all of the background is taken care of Obi kicks off and it is returned out to the 33. Andy Schmidt from the shotgun evades THREE sacks before Navarre gets in there and gets. He was like a roboback. 2nd and 16, Adrian Moten snuffs out a QB/WR option. Schmidt throws short and it is dropped. Time to punt. Did you see Fridge say they use three punters? We are going with Pat Treppa. He punts away and Oquendo returns it for one or two. MD takes over at he 38. Megget gets it for a loss of 1. 2nd and 11, reverse to Oquendo, and it is a loss of 2. 3rd and 13, and Turner is sacked by Holtzclaw. Baltz punts it away, faircatch at the 34.
