The terps brought it back together after the bad first half. Personally I dont know if it was more of the coachs adjustments or the players wanting not to lose. It seems that they showed more heart and wanted it more than clemson.

Things to add to your first impressions:
- The halftime defensive adjustments were unbelievable. Tigers had just under 200 going into halftime and only 31 in the second half?! Granted, Spiller had a couple minor injuries to deal with, but the defense certainly stepped up.
- In all my four years here at Maryland, the home team has never won.
- This didn’t happen during the game, but apparently “ESPN’s College Football Final” didn’t get the memo about Turner’s nickname, Sunshine, because they just called him Napoleon Dynamite.
- Second top-25 win this year… put us in the polls!

I have to admit, coach Cosh’s adjustments at halftime is obviously what made this comeback possible. Going with a 3 down lineman in the first half just got torn up by Clemson’s O-line, see: 2 running backs for 100 yards each. Our D-line stepped up when they had four down lineman and Turner came through when we needed him most.
