There are no more problems motivating his players, Terps head coach Ralph Friedgen said today.
There'd better not be, the coach suggested. Not when the Terps face their most challenging game of the young season.
Cal was a good team, but Maryland had the luxury of playing the Golden Bears at home. No such luck this week.
"This starts our ACC season," Friedgen said. "I told the kids this is kind of a defining game for us to see where we're at. If you're going to win this conference you've got to win on the road. We've had only one game on the road (Middle Tennessee State) and we didn't do very well."
That's the thing about Maryland's non-conference schedule: it didn't build in a lot of road tests.
