Monday Morning Quarterback

Josh Wilson returned a fumble 20 yards for a touchdown to lead Maryland's solid defensive effort in a 22-12 win over Wake Forest on Saturday. Keon Lattimore ran for 76 yards (on 15 carries) and the only offensive touchdown for the Terrapins (2-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who continued their recent dominance against the Demon Deacons (1-3, 0-1). Maryland has won seven straight in the series, including all five matchups since Jim Grobe took over here.
Maryland allowed Wake Forest 111 yards rushing and 244 total yards, while recovering two fumbles and holding the Demon Deacons to 5-for-19 on third-down conversions. And except for Barclay's 4-yard scoring run late in the third, Wake Forest's offense seemed out of rhythm just about all day.
Terp quarterback Sam Hollenbach was 12-22 for 169 yards with one interception and kicker Dan Ennis was a perfect 3-3 on field goals. Freshman Lance Ball added 51 yards on 17 carries.
The Washington Redskins have a bye this week.
The Washington Nationals got swept in all three games by the New York Mets this weekend and are officiially out of the playoffs. With six games left to play, the Nationals need to spit the six games to finish with a winning record for the season. But is has still been a great year for the Nationals first season in Washington.
