Virginia Tech 27, Maryland 17
Night game, on the road, against Virginia Tech. I don’t want to make this pick, but I have to. Da’Rel Scott will help; but the idea of Tyrod Taylor playing doesn’t sit well with me. I’ve seen too much of Marcus Vick running all over Maryland’s defense to think they can stifle Taylor. If Glennon plays, Maryland has a chance.
Let’s see what everyone else has to say…

SOME QUICK THOUGHTS:
-Congratulations to Athlete of the Morning Zach Sullivan from Spalding; who won the individual race at the A conference Champsionship yesterday. We all know Joe Glos from Perry Hall deserved to win however.
-Rob Ryan will in the end be the reason the Ravens don’t pursue DeAngelo Hall. He will tell Rex that the headache isn’t worth it.
Talk to you tomorrow.
