WVU EA Sim
Well even the computer animated Lee Corso was fired up for this one. MD Kicked off and right away WVU tried to establish the run against the Terps. Well it didn't work, three and out. After the punt Md got the ball on its own 32. The crowd is rocking, the cameras were shaking. What an atmosphere. Fridge also tries to establish the run to take some pressure off Joel Statham. Md punts after one first down. On the next series Dqwell Jackson made a huge tackle for a loss on a direct snap to Kay-Jay Harris to force another three and out. Md moves the ball a little and after Statham nearly had Rob Abiamiri killed, das boot was brought out for a 50 yard FG attempt. Well Das Boot es Goot! 3-0 Md with 4:57 remaining in the second qtr. Yet another three and out. Rasheed Marshall only completed one pass to this point. Md is still trying to get Josh Allen going. A big15 yard face mask against WVU extends the Md drive after Josh Allen was stopped two yards short. Statham hits Fenner on a nice pass to get well into WVU territory. Statham then hit Vernon Davis to get inside the 10 with 2:00 minutes to go in the half. After Maldanado was stopped on two runs, Statham hooked up with Fenner in the corner of the endzone for an eight yard TD with 1:34 remaining. Crowd is instantly silenced. Well that didn't last long as Rasheed Marshall hit John Pennington behind the MD secondary for a 61 yd Td and the XP was good. 10-7 Md with 1:00 to go. The crowd is back and Md is forced to punt again with 0:16 left in the half. On WVU's first play of the series Ray Custis picks off the pass and is tackled with 1 second left. Statham hits VD, but is brought down at the 15 with no time remaining. 10-7 at the half. Statham completed 20 yard pass to Fenner to start the half. Mostly just back and forth in the third quarter with Md still leading 10-7. Early in the 4th qtr WVU kicker Brad Cooper is wide right. According to Lee Corso "even his girlfriend won't like him tonight!". Md gets the ball back and thanks to big run by Josh Allen on 3rd down keeps the drive alive with 2:30 remaining. A couple more Allen runs and WVU calls it's second TO with 1:41 remaining. Podlesh punts the ball out at the 18 with 1:34 left. Chris King dropped a pass when he was wide open on 1st down.
