Press Conference: Ralph Friedgen
Maryland football coach Ralph Friedgen talks with the media. Maryland (6-3, 3-2 ACC) plays at Virginia (4-5, 1-4 ACC) on Saturday.
On an overall message to the team this week after a tough loss
“I told the team yesterday that it was a very tough defeat. Our kids played extremely hard and it was a physical football game. Now that it’s done we can’t do anything about it. I think we need to learn and grow from it, onto the next game. When we go down to Virginia we need to play very well to win the football game.”

Maryland: The end of an era?
Maryland at Virginia: Nov. 13
There’s not much you can do to dress up a 2-10 season. Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen doesn’t try to.
“It’s not something that we talk about daily, but they know the score. I kind of like it like that myself. I kind of enjoy that kind of motivation,” said Friedgen, whose Terrapins don’t exactly come into 2010 with anything more in terms of expectations than you’d expect with a program spinning off its axis in recent years.
Friedgen came to his alma mater in 2001 with little in the way of expectations back then, either, and quickly raised the bar, winning the ACC title and going to the Orange Bowl in ’01 and winning a school-record 11 games in 2002. Read more
ACC football press conference quotes
Staff Report
Frank Spaziani – Boston College
Opening statement: By now, the freshman (Dave Shinskie) is not a freshman and he has played and has the experience. One thing that happened (Saturday) is that, as a team, the line is moving forward but we still have some injuries that are falling backwards. We are a team that is very fragile, but collectively, can win every game. Read more
Ralph Friedgen | Maryland coach talks in advance of Tech game
Staff Report
On the Virginia Tech defense:
I’ve been very impressed with them on tape. Obviously, they’re very well coached and they have a lot of speed on defense. They have the No. 1 defense in the conference and play with great effort.
On the Virginia Tech offense:
They have a big, strong offensive line and good receivers – very similar to what we saw last week. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor is similar to Russell Wilson, although he looks to run the ball a little more than Russell did. He’s very elusive, very quick. He has a quick release and very accurate. Ryan Williams has great speed, good vision and great feet. He’s a very good football player. Read more

Winners and Losers: All losers this week

OK, so Rex Grossman isn’t the solution. Don’t get too excited about his four TDs in Washington’s 33-30 loss at Dallas Sunday. He also had two interceptions and a sack fumble, and didn’t exactly look adept in his second run at a late-game two-minute drill.
Coach Mike Shanahan is back to square one with QBs heading into next year. (Pining the days of Jason Campbell, we are, aren’t we?)
So much for the offensive genius who was finally going to get things turned around in Redskin Park. Read more
