Will be leaving the hotel for the OB shortly, but just wanted to quickly break down what's facing
Maryland tonight at Florida International.\
\
\
Maryland is deeper and more talented than Florida International, and might just have it in them to apply an all-out drubbing.\
\
\
I'm just not betting on it.\
\
\
The last time Maryland won by 30 was Oct. 8, 2005 against Temple (38-7).\
\
\
That was the Terps' largest margin of victory since a 34-point win over Duke on Sept. 25, 2004 (55-21).\
\
\
The last time Maryland drilled a team by more than 40 was Sept. 13, 2003, 61-0 over The Citadel.\
\
\
Maryland's track record over the last three-plus seasons says the Terps will win, but not in overwhelming fashion. Let's call it a comfortable 28-7 victory, which would probably satisfy Ralph Friedgen considering a top-five team is about to roll into College Park.\
