Light Thursday For Terps

With their final practice before the homecoming match up with North Carolina State the Terps held a light practice, making their final preparations.

After a few standard individual drills, the team ran full 11 on 11 plays for the remainder of the open session. The offense looked very, very good in the plays that the media was allowed to watch. Chris Turner was very efficient, completing every pass he through in a 15-minute span save for one, that was the fault of the receiver who dropped it. Turner completed a variety of passes, hitting receivers open the middle for big gains, and throwing a couple of nice deep lobs to Darius Heyward-Bey.

Now while this wasn't a full on pressure defense he was facing this afternoon, Turner looked to be continuing his impressive play from the Wake Forest game. Should he continue to play at this level against the Wolfpack on Saturday, chances are he will eclipse 300 yards passing again and the Terps will be in great shape to come away with another win.

Additionally, the run game looked good today as the offensive line was opening up some big holes for the Terps backs.

That's all from today, check back tomorrow for an interview with Joseph Giglio of the Raleigh News-Observer about the Wolfpack and Saturday's game.
