It's The Terrapins Time | NCAA 14 Dynasty

[bryceisdabest]

Question: Should I do Game previews or not? I think it would be better to use my time into other things to make it more interesting.

I'm in on this. I love all their wild uniforms. I have always been somewhat of a Terrapin fan, just never was able to run with them myself.

Its up to you. Sometimes its nice, because it creates build up, but only if you don't play much. For example, its cool to see them with DeeGeezy, because he only plays about 1 game per week. He posts the preview to keep things lively midweek, and followers often discuss it and give their predictions.

If you play a lot, it may not be necessary. The next game comes quick, so we don't need a preview to build suspense. I do "A Look Ahead" at the end of each report to give readers a small preview of the next game, just so they stay in the loop and know what to look for. Like a mini game preview, without dedicating a lot of time to it.

Its really up to you. Like you said, have fun with it. Whatever you enjoy, do that. Otherwise, you'll lose steam.

That is what has happened with me. I will try different things out and I will hopefully catch a rhythm. Glad to have you along on the journey

Turnovers Causes Terrapins Struggle, Still Pull Off 24-21 Win

College Park, Maryland- Tonight was a rough night for the Maryland Terrapins against the James Madison Dukes. The game started quite quickly for Perry Hills and the Maryland offense. He was able to lead them on a quick drive down the field and cap it off with a 21 yard TD pass to Malcolm Culmer. James Madison was able to quickly respond with a TD run by QB Bryan Schor.

Halfway through the Terps were able to take the lead back with a 23 yard TD run by Perry Mills. The Terps kept there momentum going close towards the end of the half with a 10 yard TD pass by Perry Mills to RB Trey Edmunds III.

James Madison started off the half with a huge momentum switch. DL Cornell Urquhart was able to pick up a sack fumble and returned it 75 yards for a TD to make the score 21-14. After one of Perry Mills's three picks, James Madison was able to tie the score up at 21 with a 4 yard TD run by Cardon Johnson.

The 4th quarter was a pretty slow offensive quarter for both teams. James Madison was not able to get anything done offensively, and the Terps drove the ball with some success, but Perry Mills threw two more picks. The Terps were able to use their run game to get them down the field to set up a game winning 21 yard FG from Adam Greene.

Post-Game Interviews

Coach Durkin: "I felt like the we were efficient on both sides, but Perry has to not turn it over if he is going to be a game manager. We just have to do better plain and simple, no disrespect to those guys, but we have to do better."

Perry Mills: "That game should not have been close and all of the guys in our locker room know that. We have to be more careful, and that starts with me. I already know I have to be safe because if I am not, I know coach will bench me in a heartbeat. I also can't let that make me play scared, I have to play with a chip on shoulder."

Shane Cockerille: "I feel like I played pretty comfortable in my first game at linebacker. It is totally different from the QB position, but I have to grind everyday to get bigger and better. We won and that is what matters to me."

A win is a win. I'm sure you would like to see better production, but it was really a "tune up" game. Come out strong against Wisconsin!

Hope the Boilermakers make you regret putting that W on the season preview

Haha, following buddy, any B1G dynasty is worth reading. I personally just like results over previews...previews can be pretty time consuming on the week-week grind. If you were to do any previews, leave it for conference titles & bowl games!

Goodluck and Alabama losing game 1 to a V Tech, yikes!
