Terps Sports

People who think DOB wouldn't start at PSU must not have watched PSU last year.

Ricky Schultz, a transfer from Shepherd WVA

Right now UMD has only C.J. and Ricky Shultz the kid who transfered from Shepherd where he didn't play. Ricky was a student manager but he is a second arm to make it through Spring Ball.

We have two incoming Freshmen in Perry Hills and Caleb Rowe, and the kid from New Mexico is not yet in school if he can be admitted at all. He's been cooling his heels in some Community College in Iowa. Is his name Dalonte Young?

From our perspective, CJ was going to get all the reps this Spring anyway because DOB was still in rehab for his injury, and that may have played into his decision to accelerate graduating too.

Oh, and I was just parroting what the Sun article had to say about Wisconsin and PSU as places where he could get early PT based on the QB's already in those schools systems.

Maybe after having Rangoon as a coach, he is thinking Fridge wasn't such a bad guy after all.

That's it, Ricardo, and yes he was/is a very legitimate player if they can work out his status and eligibility.

It sounds like Danny O'Brien is visiting PSU this weekend. Wisconsin is also looking at the transfer QB from Kansas, Webb?

Depends which Danny O'Brien shows up (year 1 Danny or year 2 Danny).

WAT!

The Premier start the wrong QB was Ralph Friedgen!

I thought Garcia left because he was homesick. Rangooned.

Yes.

That was SABAN!

Lou Saban that is! He put a linebacker, Alan Pastrana at quarterback and Pastrana was "pretty damn good"!

In 1965, under coach Tom Nugent, Alan P. played linebacker. The following season, Lou Saban took over as head coach from Nugent ( who invented the "I" formation, a precursor to today's pro-set formation) and held open quarterback tryouts that included anybody who had played the position in high school, whether or not they were on the team. One of my fraternity brothers even tried out. He lasted one day, or so I remember.

Early in the 1966 season, in a move reminicient of Coach Edsall's approach, Lou Saban dismissed several players from the team, saying that they were "not good enough to play for Maryland," including the former starting quarterback, Phil Petry. Pastrana got the QB job at that point.

After losses to Penn State and Syracuse, Pastrana led our sucky Maryland team to an unbelievable three-game winning streak over Duke (when they were actually competitive,) West Virginia, and South Carolina before we fell apart. I had a side line pass that year and it was not a happy place toward the end of the season. Saban left at the end of the year to coach the Denver Broncos and local hero ( a fellow North Jersey guy) Bob Ward ( may he R.I.P.) got the job.

As to RF, he was moved to fullback first, then OG, a tough position for him since, he said, he had never blocked anybody before, including his few plays at fullback.

BTW, speaking of Pastrana and New Jersey, during his time as QB he was dating a beautiful cheerleader from north Jersey who later on married a Redskin cornerback. She eventually wised up, gave up former football players and married a lawyer.
