With that said, Maryland simply did not show up to play at all. After UVA started out strong, the Terps couldn’t respond at all with a big play, and eventually, the errors pilled upon on another in this comedy of a loss.

So, who is to blame? I believe it is the coaching staff as a whole. Defensive coordinator Chris Cosh could see UVA’s offensive gameplan from the early going was to throw short passes. By making an adjustment early on, they game could have been much closer. And on the offensive side of the ball, not allowing Heyward-Bey to have a single catch is pathetic, especially for an offensive “genius” like Friedgen. Looking back on what Friedgen said in his midweek press conference, he was not taking this UVA team lightly, saying “”The score against Duke was not indicative of how their defense played. I see them improving.” Yet, come gameday, he could not make the adjustments necessary to avoid an embarrassing loss which may be a factor in deciding if he will be around next season.
“I hope our kids remember how they felt,”
