Football Injury Report

Figured I’d take a break from the turkey-eating and Terp-basketball watching to note this development that just popped into my e-mail in-box.

Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (leg) and linebacker Trey Covington (back) are both listed as questionable for Saturday’s game at Boston College. Neither has had an injury history this season, but it will be interesting to see their capabilities Saturday.

It’s been an easy week for the Terrapin football team on the media side with no availability the last two days, and the Terps get the benefit of adding a pair of key players to the injury report this week without having to address it before game time.

They Said It

From the mouths of Terps…

Coach Ralph Friedgen: “If you want to boo me, boo me. Don’t boo the kid [quarterback Jordan Steffy].”

“[Da'Rel Scott] played a very good game last week in the running game, but there’s other parts of the game he can get better at. He needs to understand he has to contribute even when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands, but I think that’s a young player’s mistake.”

Senior center Edwin Williams: “I’m pretty revved up, especially [Saturday at Middle Tennessee] being our first away game of the season. I just want to go down there and execute our plan well. That comes with practice. Today will be a tough one, tomorrow will be a tough one, Thursday will be a tough one. Friday we get on a plane.”

“Everything we can fix. It’s not a lack of effort. It’s not a lack of assignment knowledge. It’s just little things. As long as we can take care of that, I think we’ll be good.”

Senior linebacker Trey Covington: “Our defense is a lot more flexible now. There can be three men rushing or eight men in the box. It’s a really diverse defense, so I think it will work well against their spread offense.”

“You don’t see the same quarterback every week. You see left-handers, right-handers, runners, pocket passers. It’s good to have experience against them all for defensive players. I don’t know how offensive players feel about [using three quarterbacks in practice], though.”

Senior cornerback Kevin Barnes: “With all the upsets last week, you can never be too sure of anything. You’ve got to go in, and play every team like they’re the greatest team ever.”

“[Steffy is] a senior. We look to him as a leader on offense. He’s graduated already. He could have been off doing everything he needs to do to get a career, but he came back and dedicated himself to this team.”
