As Nebraska will have to do against USC, Maryland will have to contain WVU's offense to have any chance in this game, obviously easier said than done. Marshall showed us last week (as South Florida did in 2006) that Slaton/White/( addendum Devine) can be contained - though Marshall become worn out in the 2nd half and let the WVU offensive flood gates open. WVU can score - alot - in a short amount of time, and like most ACC teams, Maryland does not have the offense for a shoot-out. Their options, keep it close, pray that Slaton/White have an off game, play and attack aggressively, establish the run and keep WVU's offense on the bench, and play defense the entire 60 minutes. I'm not sure the Terps can do that, but I'm going to make another gutsy call and say they keep it interesting until the end, but barring major gaffes by WVU's offense - they win 38 - 31. Ohio State @ Washington. I hate to ever think my school [Ohio State] could lose, but their offensive performance against Akron was dismal at best. 3-2, @ halftime, @ home is unacceptable. Que the defense forcing FOURTEEN punts. I do think this will be an ugly, grind it out, defensive game. I've been impressed by Washington so far, especially in beating Boise State. The Huskies run D against Wells and company will be an interesting match-up, and the winner of that match-up will be favored to win the game, or at least keep it an eye-opener until the end. I say the Buckeyes stout defense overpower the Huskies in the end, and win an ugly 17 - 10 slugfest.
