Few things before I get outta here:

Maryalnd finished with 239 rushing yards on 59 attempts. The Knights' inability to stop the run was what did them in from the start.

Mike Teel had a hell of a game for a losing quarterback. He completed a career-high 25 passes despite Shamar Graves dropping two balls that were thrown right to his hands. But he'll be haunted by the three straight incompletions he threw in the fourth quarter, when a long scoring drive could have tied it or won it.

Tiquan Underwood became the first player in school history with four straight 100-yard receiving games.

And some quotes that I couldn't fit in the paper:

Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen on the win and the unfortunate turn of events that preceded it: "It was a tremendous in and a tremendous display of character by our players. We had many hardships and a tough loss last week and last night Jamie Thomas' dad was giving the devotion and he had a seizure and was hospitalized during our meetings. We were so concerend about his well-being and to come out today and get the lead and have our starting QB go down. It was a lot of ways these guys could have chucked it."

Greg Schiano on Maryland's physical play: "It led to our inablity to stop the run, and I think that was the difference in the game. Give credit to Maryland, they played very, very well."

On preparing for Cincinnati: "“We’re going against a whole different operation in a week. We’ll have to correct our deficiencies against this style of play and get ready for another style of play.”

On what went wrong: “Our inability to stop the run, really I think was the difference in the game. The credit goes to Maryland. They played very well. I thought they had a good plan and they executed the plan very well. It was a combination of we didn’t play as well as we can, not even close to that, and I thought they played well.”
