I think people are underestimating our defense. The whole defense is coming back besides a few players and we got good replacements for the few that left. The Auburn bowl game pretty much that whole team is back plus some key incoming transfers and recruits. The only guaranteed loses are Oregon and Penn state besides that we can win every other game. I feel like USC IOWA Minnesota Northwestern games will be very close 50/50 type games. We also have one of the best Wide receiver duos with Kaden Prather and Tai Felton who both should go off this year.
The defense has been steadily improving year after year. They were a solid bunch last year and have talent again this year, even after Barham transferring to Michigan. The line actually looks more talented this year than last year. Certainly in terms of athletic potential. Three transfers that were highly ranked HS recruits are manning the guard positions. And MD lines of the past under Edsall and Durkin always looked smaller than the Top 20 teams lines. Good running back room, and a solid set of receivers and tight ends. The question is quarterback. MJ Morris had the best spring game and the most talent of the bunch. Edwards always looks like he makes the right passing decision, but he's never quite accurate enough. The same with Edge. If Morris can figure it out, they can let that 4 star recruit sit for a year as a redshirt.
I did not watch every Maryland game no, but he was graded highly by PFF. I used star as in "He is one of the better players on offense" not one of the better players in the Big Ten. Was I wrong there? I am sorry if I missed the mark there, Lawrence.
@@collegefootballwithsam It's OK. I know you cover the entire country and you do an amazing job. There are going to be a couple blind spots especially on teams that aren't super relevant in the national picture like Maryland. I wouldn't say that he was a star even for Maryland, and not one of the better players on the offense. I subscribe to PFF also, I like them, but they definitely have some questionable ratings. This is one of those examples. I probably wouldn't rank him as one of the top ten players on the offense last year. Delmar Glaze was the closest thing to a star on the offensive line. He was drafted.
Maryland hasn’t finished better than 7-5 in the regular season in the 10 years since joining the B1G in 2014. They’ve never had a winning conference record. Even if you spot them 3 conference losses to the big 3 they’ve consistently underperformed. The break up of divisions might help Maryland but I think in the long run adding 4 programs who are more successful and high profile than Maryland has been is going to push them farther down the ladder.
@@collegefootballwithsam Coolness but I don't know about the Terps. But curious to see everybody else too. Wonder where Penn St will be, wonder where Iowa will be, really wondering where Wisconsin will be.
No where. If James Franklin had a little brother it would be Mike Locksley because they both suck at winning big games. Mike Locksley’s teams are like the little blue engine that could. They give you a tuff fight just to bow out in the end
What makes that analogy even better is James Franklin owns Mike Locksley (outside of 2020). The 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023 matchups between the Nittany Lions and the Terps have all been 17+ Penn State victories. I think Maryland regresses big time this year.
I think we start 6-0 and locksley fails to win more close games against USC and Iowa before things go downhill. I think after starting 6-0 we go 7-5 beating Rutgers. Locksley is recruiting very well this offseason and a QB the caliber of Taulia is projected to sign with Maryland by the name of Malik Washington. That would give Locksley 2025-2028ish to show off his talent. If he can’t get it done AGAIN with another high caliber QB, then moving on from him might be on the table. Anyways… GO TERPS
Moving on...I don't we are going to move on as long as he is pushing out 8 wins bowl wins. Unless, MD finds someone that wants to be at MD just as much as Locks, it's not happening. MD does not going to repeat history when they fired Friedgen.
Corey DYCHES didn’t leave. He thought he was more than he was and could go to a top school. He wanted to come back but we said no. He was a culture problem and the team is better without him
They miss a bowl this year, it’s going to be night and day at the QB position. I see them going 5-7 beating Villanova UVA Northwestern Indiana and UConn.
@@terpsguy2623 There is no way im optimistic about this maryland team- if u are good for u as a fan of the team- but to everyone else MD is just laughable at this point
He wasted the years of one of the best QBs he’s ever had. It’s going to be the usual below average year for Locksley. It’s time for him to change his approach
Yeah, I thought Maryland should have achieved more with Taulia Tagovailoa at QB and some of the awesome players they have had on defense like Tarheeb Still and Deonte Banks.
Sam, you didn't mention that Maryland picked up Isaiah Wright from the transfer portal. Isaiah could slide in at right or left tackle. The guy also has experience playing center. Sam, you are correct the offensive line is a question mark. The QB position is a question mark as well. The defense as you said looks experienced. I don't listen to negative opinions online. Maryland just won three bowl games in a row under Mike Lockley. Can Mike Locksley get more than eight wins? We will all just have to see. The Big Ten is a very tough league.
😂😂😂...ridiculous, no winning seasons from 2010 to 2020 to 3 winning seasons and 3 bowl game wins in a row. Not earth shattering but not a bottom 10 coach in ALL of college football. The metrics don't add up which makes your comments seem personal or just hate-O-riffic lol
Those were different coaches they had during those years @bigred5222. In the early years under Ralph Friegen, Maryland was a respected team in the ACC. Then, yes, everything went wrong for a long time. Randy Edsell dragged Maryland into the ground, and James Franklin, the coach in waiting, turned Penn State into a powerhouse team. How many bowl games has Nebraska won lately? Not very many.

Maryland has two very good Tight Ends that's why the starter from last year transferred. Dylan Wade and Preston Howard are future stars.

4-8 to 10--2, pretty much sums up the usual annual projections. That's why we play the games. One year, Lucy will not pull the ball away.
Tight end isnt even close to a weak spot they got dudes in dillon wade and preston howard
Love your channel man, go blue!
Go Blue!
Thank you for the support!
We had a turnover machine in big games i really believe they will be better this year
If Locksley has a better record than last season he should get coach of the year or at least be a candidate in my opinion given how much he loses.
@@collegefootballwithsamno way Locks gets coach of the year without 10+ wins
The QB was good for 3 losses.
@@collegefootballwithsam His losing was sticking to a QB that should have been benched.
"Star center Aric Harris". I like Sam's videos a lot, but this comment makes it seem like Sam didn't watch a lot of Maryland football last year.

10-2. This team has so much talent. Just because Taulia is gone doesn’t mean we got worse
Insane take
Maryland hasn’t finished better than 7-5 in the regular season in the 10 years since joining the B1G in 2014.
They’ve never had a winning conference record. Even if you spot them 3 conference losses to the big 3 they’ve consistently underperformed.

Maryland 2024. Dunno.
You will see my record prediction for them when I release my Big Ten predictions video this week.

James Franklin whines about Maryland. He was on our staff years ago
@@terpsguy2623You and I both know that he was the head coach in waiting, but the AD at the time screwed that up.

I never heard he was a problem in the locker room
They miss a bowl this year, it’s going to be night and day at the QB position. I see them going 5-7 beating Villanova UVA Northwestern Indiana and UConn.
You’re delusional
No it looks like this program is stuck on 7-5.

Taulia had his problems
Yeah, I thought Maryland should have achieved more with Taulia Tagovailoa at QB and some of the awesome players they have had on defense like Tarheeb Still and Deonte Banks.
Locksley is a bottom 10 head coach in all of college football- for this reason among others I think they are cellar dweller's
He is an atrocious game manager, but he does know how to identify talent and develop it on offense.
This is just a bunch of yap. Maryland is a top 6 team in the big ten rn

I think if locks doesn’t win 9 he should go
I think people are really underrating us but this might be a stretch. I would love 9, but let’s try for 8 regular season wins first.
...and hire who and who with the connections?
