I still feel like it's too early to submit a prediction for our bowl game.  Many unpredictable issues can arise at the last minute.  Nonetheless, I have been reading about Maryland quite a bit and feel we have a brobdingnagian advantage with our defense.  They seem a bit too reliant on the legs and arm of their QB, Brown and have really one effective receiver.  I don't predict a shutout lightly.  It's is pretty unusual for a team to accomplish that.  For one thing, in a bowl game if we get a hefty lead, I would think Shaw will start substituting liberally (at least I hope he does and that it is for that reason).  In addition, shutouts are rare because one untimely turnover can lead to the opponent scoring.

On offense, I am feeling like we, as a team, had an "ah-ha" moment during the last two (+) games.  Add to that Kevin Hogan's inspirational play against UCLA and the fact that we do, in fact, have something to prove in this game - even if it's not that we're the #1 team in the country.  I believe Shaw will be able to provide the context that enables players to find their individual motivations.

Cardinal defeat the Terrapins - 34-0
