7-5

7-5. 

The team you cheered on this year that had enough talent to beat four ranked opponents. 

The team that was 6-0 at home going into the final home game which was going to get them one step closer towards an anticipated ACC Championship Game berth.

The team that always shrugged off a disappointing loss with an awesome win. 

The team that will have one first round pick, and multiple other players that will be taken in the next few drafts.

The team that was 7-0 in games played in the daytime. 

7-5.

The team that lost to Middle Tennesee State.

The team that got shut out by rival Virginia.

The team that had negative rushing yards for an entire game against Virginia Tech.

The team that couldn't play in the national spotlight.

The team that was 0-5 in games played in the dark. 

The Maryland Terrapins ended their roller coaster season with a loss at Boston College, who has now won their last three, and who put themselves in position to make the ACC Championship Game by beating the three teams in the Atlantic Division that were above them.

I'm not going to give all of the Terps' units grades, because Around the Harbor blog does that, and does it very well. I will give one, though. The offensive line this year failed. Four seniors and one junior, and they were absolutely terrible. The only reason the Terps were able to run some games was more a product of having real depth there with Scott and Meggett. The FSU game was truly ridiculous for the line. Turner was terrible that game, but most quarterbacks will be terrible when they are being sacked as they drop back. 

The Terps may still end up with a decent bowl. They are one of the 6 teams in the ACC with a 4-4 conference record. They could end up in Idaho too, though. In any case, they're not going to get in the Orange, Chik-Fil-A, Gator or Champs Sports Bowls, the top four bowls for ACC teams. 

This season should make any Maryland sports fan sick to their stomach. The basketball team can be criticized for not having the talent necessary to succeed in the ACC - the second best conference in college basketball. The football team had the talent to succeed in the ACC - the second best conference in college football - and just flat out didn't. Say what you want about the basketball team, but they play hard every game. They have a fiery leader in Vasquez. Perhaps more important, they have a fiery leader in their coach. The football team has neither. They played undisciplined. 

Middle-of-the-pack should not be enough to satisfy a team with this talent, but it did. That's what they were. Mediocre.

7-5.
