The Terps are back!

It's official. The Maryland Terrapins are back in action this year. On Saturday 10/30/10, against Wake Forest in College Park, Maryland, the scene started out like any other college football game. What ensued was proof that the Terrapins (now 6-2, 3-1 ACC standings) are in great shape and in contention for the ACC Atlantic Division Title.

Right out of the gate, the Terps grabbed two interceptions and returned them for touchdowns.

The score more than tripled to 48-7 Terps by 9:15 left in the 3rd quarter. Where is Chris Berman from ESPN to say "WWWWhaaaatt!!"

This exponential increase in points happened in the blink of an eye after the score was 10-7 Maryland, as the Terrapins scored 38 points in 18:15 following the second pick returned for a touchdown. Not only did Maryland close the day with two defensive touchdowns, the mighty Terps also blocked two punts!

In a flash, it was........

Danny O'Brien (#5, QB for Maryland) to LaQuan Williams in the end zone for a touchdown.

Ralph Friedgen, head coach for Maryland, looked like he was watching a game of pong as the Terps bounced from end zone to end zone.

2nd string QB for the Terps, #11 Robinson, finishes out the game and continues to put the hurtin' on Wake Forest.

With Jamarr Robinson in control, RB Davin Meggett makes it 54-7 Maryland with a little less than 3:00 minutes in the 3rd!

At this point, every touchdown was scored by a different Terp.

After the extra point, making the score 55-7, Maryland, Wake Forest tries to muster up some steam with a 40+ yard punt return. Wake Forest's starting quarterback Taylor Price was given decent field position with a fighting chance to chip away at the Terps score. Wake Forest is winless on the road, with all of their away games shut-outs, however, none quite like this. Price is backed to pass and.. what's this!? Maryland defensive back Antwine Perez comes up with the Terp's 4th sack of the game!

It's 3rd and 19 with one minute left in the 3rd quarter. Taylor Price for Wake Forest is backed to pass.... however, cannot convert on this crucial 3rd down.

Wake Forest decides to go for it on 4th down.... and scores! Via a pass from Price to WR Terrence Davis to break a 45 point scoring streak by Maryland to make the score 55-14 Terps. This long overdue touchdown pass was Davis's first collegiate career touchdown.

However, the Terps turn around and score again with about 7:00 minutes remaining in the game, making the score an unbelievable 62-14, as D.J. Adams, a redshirt freshman from Florida, rushes for the touchdown. At this particular point, 8 different Terps had scored TD's without ANY of them repeating.

Wake Forest, who's name (believe it or not) is the "Demon Deacons" fall to 1-4 ACC and 2-6 overall, while Maryland sports almost the exact opposite at 3-1 ACC and 6-2 overall.

Wake Forest loses their 6th consecutive game, as the Terps match their highest score ever in an ACC game. Go Terps!

The Maryland Terrapins will play the Miami Hurricanes this Saturday at Miami.
