WVU at MD 2007 Sim
Hopefully all the cyber traffic has died down out there on the Beltway and everyone is in their seats to see the kickoff of this one. The real and cyber Terps both own identical 2-0 records. The weather looks to be about perfect as Meteorologist Bob W. has suggested it will be after a slight scare of hurricane remains across the region. Nessler, Corso, and Herbie are excited about the lack of love for the rivals. They all do say WVU's running game will be the difference as Corso puts on the Daniel Boone hat. Captains to the center of the field and MD will be kicking off after losing the toss. Byrd is rocking. Let's hope it stays that way. Roberts' kick is returned out to the 28 by Vaughn Rivers. White's first pass is incomplete. On second down he hits Wes Lyons for 7. 3rd and 3, White rolls out and Hits Schmidt for a first to the 47.
