Maryland Game Analysis: RH Takes Your Questions
November 17, 2009
 Things are pretty bad these days for Ralph Friedgen and the Maryland football program. Youth, inexperience, injuries and a general lack of depth have left Friedgen in the cross-hairs with the vultures circling in College Park. The Terps are not a very good team right now. And the Hokies took advantage of all those weaknesses to put the Terps away by halftime. After three weeks of spotty play, the Hokies needed to take care of business ... and they did. The offense piled up the yards and put up its most points in four games and the defense held an opponent out of the end zone for the second week in a row.

November 17, 2009
Dinwiddie (VA) junior Chris Hall had never played quarterback before high school. One day his freshman year, a Dinwiddie coach asked him to come out and try out at quarterback. Showing off his arm strength by throwing an 80-yard pass, Hall was quickly moved to quarterback and earned the backup spot to all-everything signal caller Adam Morgan last season. This season, the 6-4, 220-pound prospect has been the leader of the Generals offense and has done well.

Monday Thoughts: Maryland
November 16, 2009
 This was the kind of game the Hokies needed. For the first time since the Boston College game on October 10th, the Hokies dominated an opponent, did a lot of good things offensively and defensively, and won without much effort or without ever being threatened. But as the Hokies blew out a floundering opponent on a sloppy field in front of a tiny ESPN360.com audience, two states away the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets finished what they started three games ago and eliminated the Hokies from the ACC Coastal Division race.
