Well it looks as if though Bob can predict weather well even in the playstation world.  His report was right on.  Also noticed a fairly large contingent of Terp fans in the stands.  After forcing a punt and a nice return by Suter, the Terps took over at the 27 yd line. After some Josh Allen runs, Statham found Derrick Fenner in the corner of the end zone for a 6 yd, Das Boot's XP was good for 7-0 lead with 2:00 to go in the first quarter.  Statham stayed in the pocket, got crushed as he delivered the TD pass.  Duke used a balanced attack to get into FG position and converted a 27 yarder with 2:36 remaining in the second. For the remainder of the half Statham looked lost out there missing several wide open receivers while trying to put points on the board before the end of the half and fumbled on a keeper inside the red zone.  MD forced to punt and Duke converted two passes before attempting a hail Mary at the end of the half which fell harmlessly to the turf.  At the end of the half MD 7 puke 3.  Key stat Statham had 6 yds passing, but you can't help but think he was feeling that hit he took on the TD pass.  Fridge must have laid into them at the half because the boys came out in the first drive of the second half and looked great.  Nice passes and Josh Allen could run anywhere he wanted.  Allen finally punched one in from four yards out with 2:13 left in the third.  Das Boot added 3 more points with a 39 yd fg with 4:02 remaining.  MD'S next possession would be the last as they ran out the clock for a 17-3 win.
