WVU vs Maryland

West Virginia (2-1) vs. Maryland (3-0)
at M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, Md.
Saturday, 3:30 p.m. EST, ESPNU


 West Virginia had a great game vs Georgia state last weekend and QB Ford Childress who threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns. Dana Holgorsen spoke to the press today about Maryland's defenses  and said They’re going to pressure. One of the things we didn’t do well last week was identifying the zero blitz. We need enough time to get rid of the ball. They did it six times, got to us twice and hit us twice, and we did the right thing twice. That’s not good enough. Maryland will zero blitz us and pressure us. They might do it every single snap. If they do, we have to handle it. They played back against Old Dominion because they don’t run the ball. I think we’ve shown that we can run the ball and I think they’ll play up. He also said that the guys are excited to play Maryland this Saturday at the Ravens stadium. Maryland is looking to open a season 4-0 for the first time since 2001 when the terrapins won there first seven games.Ford Childress is having his second career start this Saturday and we are hoping to see a good game from him. WVU's defenses concern is there QB C.J. Brown who can cause defenses all kinds of problems on the ground and through the air.One season after fielding arguably the nation’s worst defenses, WVU’s squad has been fairly respectable in 2013. If the defense can put together another strong outing and help put the offense in good position this one could go the Mountaineers’ way.
