Sure, the Terps weren’t perfect today. There are plenty of questions surrounding this team, especially on offense where the passing game left much to be desired. But for Maryland fans looking to take something positive away from the game today, look no farther than the Terps defense.
The naysayers are quick to point to 412 rushing yards that the Midshipmen racked up during the game. While the number of yards is rather high, it is only to be expected when playing Navy. No one needs to be told anymore how difficult the triple option is to stop and no one should be surprised that Maryland’s D struggled to defend it.
Regardless of the rushing output by Navy, Maryland’s defense was successful in a number of big spots. Of course, Kenny Tate was huge on the game-ending goal line stand. The D also stepped up after the fumble on Danny O’Brien’s first and only play of the game; they forced a quick 3-and-out at a time when Navy had a chance to seize the momentum in the 4th quarter. Lastly, how about Adrian Moten forcing Dobbs to fumble? Pure athleticism, anticipation, and football IQ.
The defense got the job done when it mattered most, and that is what counts.
