Friedgen's talk spurred BC upset

On Friday, after a less-than-desirable Thursday practice, Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen summoned quarterback Chris Turner to his office. What followed - part pep talk, part challenge - set the table for the Terps' stunning victory over Boston College. "I was kind of upset with him after Thursday's practice," Friedgen said yesterday. "I kind of saw him going the other way. I told him I thought he could be a very good quarterback, but he had to do some of the things he was doing earlier." That included having Turner direct the defensive coverage with his eyes, then come back to a receiver in a different area. It was a point of emphasis for the night, and it never worked better than when the redshirt sophomore threw a two-point conversion pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey in the first minute of the fourth quarter. It put the Terps up by 21 points in what became a 42-35 win.

He declared, "If you don't win, I will eat you." :) Just teasing, Ralphie. Just teasing.

How'd you like to buy this guy's groceries?

Yeah, he's a big boy, but he is one hell of a coach too. If he was coaching Notre Dame this year, they would have won at least 3 or 4 games by now.

I'd buy him those groceries, Master, if he could get those 3-4 wins, Alfred.

Nothing personal, just an objective observation.
