                Hey now, we very well almost did lose a few games. Credit

                see by his 25th place ranking you did :)  )

                This team has a lot of youth in it. Like FSU, it shows flashes
                of sheer brilliance, and flashes of complete incompetence. I
                think, however, that they have shown that they can get up for
                a big game (i.e. Georgia) and really dominate. They do have
                to be carefull about losing the game in the fourth quarter
                though...they seem to let up a bit then. The makings of a 
                great team is there, they just have to put it all together.

                UVa really lost all hope, it seems, after the Clemson come-
                back. To me, this just shows a team that lacks a lot of
                spirit and maturity. They have a lot of talent on the team
                but have simply lost their direction...thus Navy very well
                could play them close at this point.

>15. Bost College. I knew they werent a real top 10 team all along.

                We still won't know this for sure until they play Miami ;).

Here are the official stats for Ward in the Maryland practice...er game:

Rushing:
Number of attempts: 7
Yards gained: 111
Yards lost: 0
Net yards: 111
TD: 1
Long: 28 yards

Passing:
Attempts: 37
Complete: 26 (about 70%)
INT: 0 (Amazing stat here!)
Yards: 395
TD: 4
Long: 35

Ward showed what he could do when given the opportunity, unfortunately it was
against the worst defense in the ACC (and now possibly 1-A). Hopefully he will
be able to put up good numbers in the last 3 games. By the way, Ward has once
again surpassed his INT's with TD's thrown. Let's see how long that lasts.
