I got a chance to watch Maryland live for the first time Friday night as the Terps rolled over UMBC, 15-6. It was a very impressive showing by Maryland, and one of the best offensive performances I have seen by the Terps in many years.

I'm not just talking point production, but concepts such as the motion they had inside around the crease and over the middle, and how they moved the ball. I never saw that type of movement under previous Maryland coaches Dave Cottle or Dick Edell. Granted, Maryland was facing a struggling UMBC squad, but the Terps offense had a good flow.

And the Terps have good weapons in attackman Grant Catalino, Ryan Young and Travis Reed, and midfielders John Haus and Jake Bernhardt. I don't know who how far the Terps can go this season, but we'll soon find out in a stretch of games against Carolina, Virginia, Navy and Hopkins.
