21st ranked Maryland starts the new season off on the right start, with a 31-6 win over 19th ranked Washington.

Maryland's Senior HB Duo of Caleb Porzel and Gary Douglas were the stars of the game, each rushing for over 100 yards ad 4 combined TDs. Caleb Porzel had 23 carries for 151 yards 2 TDs, while Gary Douglas had 18 carries for 120 yards and 2 TDs. LE David Mackall had 3 sacks in the game, all 3 coming on key 3rd downs in the game. neither team turned over the ball in the game, and both teams missed a FG. Washington was 2-10 on 3rd down attempts.

Caleb Porzel is a freak. 96 speed and 99 acc. I should have been using him more the last 2 season. :D

One more thing to note, everyone has six home and six away games, three user games, and everyone's strength of schedule is at least an A-

[HawkFan]

cdj I can play after 8pm tonight but would like to be done before the Iowa game starts at 10pm eastern, or I can play after 8pm till whenever tomorrow night and the night after.

[cdj]

I should be able to play at 8 PM tonight, but if not tomorrow night should work as well.

I will post here in the evening if/when I am free.

Good luck versus Mizzou!

[HawkFan]

Hey man I got called into work until 930pm tonight. Let's shoot for tomorrow night. I will be on from 815pm til late. Let me know.

[cdj]

That works for me! Just post here tomorrow; thanks for the update.

[HawkFan]

CDJ I will be on and ready to go around 815pm, whenever you can get on is cool with me.

[cdj]

That works for me! See you then - good luck!

[HawkFan]

Good luck to you as well. Here's to a great game

[HawkFan]

Despite holding a 24-14 lead at the half and rushing for over 250 yards in the game Northwestern cannot overcome a sloppy second half that sees them turn the ball over three times in the third quarter as they fall to #3 Va. Tech in Blacksburg 49-27.

Arby Fields had over a 100 yards rushing for the cats, but Northwestern's defense was nowhere to be found in the second half. The cats will look to rebound next week as they play host to Vanderbilt.

More detailed game breakdown to come tomorrow after I get off work.
