It seems like every week, our football team is playing either up or down to our competition. One week, we lose to Middle Tennessee State, the next we beat a top 25 ranked Cal team. Then, we go on to beat a ranked Clemson but proceed to lose to an unheralded Virginia team. It seems like this happens every year. Our football program will only reach a high level of success by finding a way to give 100% effort regardless of the opponent. That should be the focus of the rest of our Terps' season. We need to conquer ourselves before we beat our opponents. I am also concerned about the Terps’ inconsistency when facing different levels of opponents.
