Also starting DE Allen Covington.

Violation of team policy.

Interesting....

Please let our guys keep their heads on straight! No more stupid s**t.

2 years ago their star bounceyball player Justin Drummond was suspended one game for a DUI. It really makes me wonder what these guys did to get double that.

Nobody is saying...just some team rule. One guy on CSNbbs says the punishment fits the "crime", but is not talking beyond that.

It does seem harsh, especially since this reportedly happened awhile ago. Hunt is only 20 and Covington just turned 21 in July...so if it was alcohol related, they both would have been under 21 at the time.

I may see things differently than most but it seems more extreme when looking at it as 2 out of 12 regular season games vs. 1 out of 31 regular season games.

Scary thing about this is that they just knocked off Arkansas WITHOUT their best RB... As happy as we've been w/ Md. game, this is an even greater win. IMO

I don't think Arkansas is good this year. Their seniors were freshman in 2012 - you know, when Arkansas didn't have a head coach. Senior class lost a TON of players through the instability of it all. Arkansas is not a veteran team, they're in for a rough season and I thought they were overrated going into the season. Just because they're in the SEC west doesn't mean they're good. And their OC is one of the most incompetent coaches in all of football.

MD is a better team than Arkansas. We blew a good team out of the water and it could have been far worse. I like our chances this year a lot.

Arkansas outgained Toledo by 200 yards, had 15 more first downs and had the ball 16 minutes more. I wouldn't read too much into that victory.

However, that is not a good Maryland team. They have many more issues than Arkansas.

I disagree. Maryland is a good team - with a QB/offensive identity issue. They'll figure that part out fast. The matchup against a hurry-up offense was a nightmare for them.

Maryland last year was surprisingly not awful, even decent in the Big Ten. I was impressed when they played Michigan. Michigan's offense is of course a power/physically dominant offense and Maryland physically dominated the Michigan offense. Maryland out-Michiganed Michigan. Maryland is defensively built to stop a power offense (though they are young up front this year). An up-tempo offense was the last thing they needed. I think if they played just about any other MAC team, Maryland cruises to a win.

Feel free to call me wrong at season's end but I think Maryland will have a fine season. There's a TON of reason for optimism with the program. I like to go off Bill Connelly's previews a lot ... http://www.sbnation.com/college-footbal ... ule-roster ... and it looks like Maryland has a bright future.
