Ball is a power back without great speed that fits into the Big Ten.

25.Dennis Norfleet, Cincinnati
Norfleet is 5’7″ but has the ability to break big plays. He’s a good fit for Cincinnati.

26.Vonte Jackson, Wisconsin
Jackson is different than the typical Wisconsin back in that he isn’t big but more of a speed guy. It should be interesting to see how he gets worked into the backfield.

27.Tim Wright, undecided
Wright isn’t a big back and isn’t a break-away speed guy, but he is very elusive.

28.JC Coleman, Virginia Tech
Like Norfleet, Coleman is small but can take it to the house on any given play. He’s also a potential game-changer as a return man.

29.Chris Brown, Oregon St
Brown is potentially the next Beaver back to top 1,000 yards.

30.Jahleel Pinner, USC
Pinner is actually the top fullback in this class. He could be the next Trojan back to be used as a blocker and a weapon out of the backfield.

2.Gunner Kiel, Notre Dame
A bit over-rated, but only one true elite QB in this class means he ranks second based on his potential.

3.Bart Houston, Wisconsin

4.Maty Mauk, Missouri
Another in a long line of Mizzou QB’s who can light up the scoreboard.

5.Matt Davis, Texas A&M
May need some time, but a weapon who could be an asset now that the Aggies are in the SEC.

6.Cyler Miles, Washington
Passing skills are solid but can use improvement, but his ability to run and make things happen gave him a late boost.

7.Kyle Mangum, BYU
He may have ranked higher if not for the fact he is going to go on a two-year Mormon mission.

8.Chad Voytik, Pitt
Love his quick release and that he gets to work with Paul Chryst.

9.Chad Kelly, Clemson
Very under-rated prospect who looked great in the Under Armour Game.

10.Anthony Alford, Southern Miss
Still raw, but big time skill set with arm and running ability. Was LSU’s to lose until the Gunner Kiel commitment.

11.Jeff Lindquist, Washington
A strong performance at the Semper Fidelis game really boosted his stock.

12.Zeke Pike, Auburn
Pike has seen his stock falling in part to being over-rated early and in part due to others improving.

13.Connor Brewer, Texas
Brewer is a winner and could really excel in the short passing game.

14.Zach Kline, Cal
Kline is an under-rated prospect who really caught my eye during the postseason all-star games.

15.Devin Fuller, undecided
Fuller is a big time athlete, but I question his ability to stay at QB full time.

16.Wes Lunt, Oklahoma State
An under-rated signal caller heading to play in the high-scoring Cowboys’ offense.

17.Jake Rodrigues, Oregon
More of a passer than a runner, and he could change the Ducks offense a bit.

18.Nathan Peterman, Tennessee
Big-armed gunslinger who could take advantage of the Vols depth of receiving weapons.

19.Tommy Armstrong, Nebraska
A dual threat prospect that fits the Nebraska system.

20.Nick Patti, Boise State
May be under-sized, but so was Kellen Moore.

21.Tyler Matthews, TCU
The Frogs next QB. He really fits the mold of solid, but under the radar prospect with all the intangibles.

22.Trevor Knight, Oklahoma
Very high upside guy, but also very raw. Major accuracy issues, but so much potential.

23.Justin Thomas, Georgia Tech
A former Alabama commit, Thomas chose Tech to stay at QB. He’s among the two or three fastest prospects in the nation, so he could do big things in the triple option.

24.Greyson Lambert, Virginia
Could be a steal for Virginia as they got on him early.

25.Bennie Conney, Cincinnati
Big dual threat prospect is raw but has a high ceiling.

Any starter that is moving on will be in parenthesis. If a starting position was shared due to injury or other reasons, there is a slash to indicate who shared the starting role.

In the first year under coach Randy Edsall, the Terapins struggled on their way to a 2-10 season. It was an awful season that led to a pair of new coordinators for the Terps.

Sophomore quarterback Danny O’Brien, a Freshman All American last year, regressed to the point where he lost his job this year- but he did regain it a few weeks later. Losing top rusher Davin Meggett will hurt, as will the loss of receiver Quintin McCree, but top receiver Kevin Dorsey returns as does Matt Furstenburg, a weapon as a tight end. The line gets four starters back, and almost a fifth as Pete White filled in for an injured Andrew Gonnella.

Defensively the Terps only lose two players, although one is All ACC LB Kenny Tate. Hopefully returning so much experience can help a run defense that ranked #111 nationally and #75 against the pass.

9/1 William & Mary
9/8 @ Temple
9/15 UConn
TBD @ West Virginia
TBD Florida State
TBD Georgia Tech
TBD NC State
TBD Wake Forest
TBD @ Boston College
TBD @ Clemson
TBD @ North Carolina
TBD @ Virginia

Out of conference the Terps have only one easy win, with William & Mary. The Temple game, which is tougher than some would think, may actually favor a strong Temple team at home. The UConn game could go either way, but I’d go with Maryland at home. The Terps have little chance to knock off West Virginia.

The home schedule within the ACC doesn’t do the Terps any favors either. Both Georgia Tech and Florida State should have little trouble getting road wins here. NC State is also likely to be favored on the road. The Wake Forest game may be the best chance to get a win at home in the ACC.

The ACC road schedule will also be tough next year. Boston College was better than their 4-8 record would indicate, and they get star back Montel Harris back next year. Clemson, North Carolina, and Virginia will all be considerably stronger than Maryland next year.

The Terps have are too talented for another 2-10 season, but at the same time they have a long ways to go to turn things around and they don’t have an easy schedule. I expect a 3 or 4 win season in 2012.
