Much like the Terps’ entire season, the last quarter of the year was sloppy, kind of boring, and ultimately dissatisfying.

The Terps never really did anything to make it look like they might come back, and they have now completed the first 10-loss season in the history of the program.

The Terps finish 2009 2-10, 1-7 in the ACC, and on a 7-game losing streak.

Jamarr Robinson found Torrey Smith for a 28-yard touchdown pass with 1:34 to play, but by then it was too little, too late for the Terps.

Before the late, essentially meaningless touchdown, the highlights of the quarter were three turnovers on downs on failed 4th-and-1 attempts.

The Terps got stuffed from the BC 37 when Davin Meggett tried to convert about a minute into the quarter.

Then Eagle running back Montel Harris didn’t make it from the Terps’ 26.

Finally, Robinson came back in at quarterback for the Terps and tried a QB keeper with less than five minutes to go from the Terps’ 29 that had no chance after a tremendous play by an Eagle defensive lineman.

Eagle kicker Steve Aponavicius put  it out of reach with a 42-yard field goal four plays later to make it 19-10 BC with 3:59 left.

And so ends our online game coverage of the 2009 Terrapin football team. Check the paper Monday for the game story and again later in the week for the season recap.

Whether he stays or goes, we will have all the postseason Ralph Friedgen news as it develops over the coming weeks.

Hope you enjoyed it. Too bad the Terps just weren’t good this year.

It is officially basketball season.
