*****GAME THREAD: TEXAS VS. MARYLAND*****

[Aaron Carrara]

The Longhorns and Terrapins open the season at FedExField in Landover, Maryland at 11:00 am on Saturday.  Will Texas win its first season-opener under head coach Tom Herman?  A win would set the tone for a promising season, while a loss would be a significant blow to Herman and the future of the program.

Maryland ruined Herman’s debut in Austin last year, defeating Texas 51-41. Sophmore quarterback Shane Buechele will take the reins at quarterback in hopes of establishing an offense that sputtered last season.

I’m en route to FedEx. I will be updating this thread per the usual, but if you are on twitter I highly recommend giving me a follow for updates as well.

Daniel, just curious. For a noon kickoff (Maryland time), what time would the team generally wake up and eat breakfast?

[Bear19]

Did your wife tell you that Shane was our starting quarterback?

[dillohorn]

Just win.

Probably around 6.

Kasim Hill will start at QB for Maryland 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Roster and Two-Deeps for both sides. Feeling in the press box is that it will be Hill at QB for UMD.

Mama knows best, Bear.

Anthem has been sung. 12 minutes out, folks.

[Aaron Carrara]

Let’s do this. HookEm!

Maryland won the toss and will receive

[MikeV73]

Time for Orlando to step this up....

[Daniel Seahorn]

Lots of play action early from UMD. Terps moving the ball down the field.

[MikeV73]

Wow, is this 2017?  Gotta wake up and get moving defense.

[utb040713]

PJ Locke looks somehow even worse this time around against Maryland than he did last year.

[Daniel Seahorn]

Terps looked way more comfortable than expected on that opening drive. Lots of motion and pre-snap movement as expected from a Matt Canada offense and they go right down the field. 7-0 Terps.

[dillohorn]

I am very unimpressed with the D. Looks like it's going to be a long day already.

[BevoBlake]

I hope we’re a little more prepared defensively next time we hit the field. That was almost effortless for them.

[okiehorn]

Gonna miss Poona Ford BAD. Holes big enough a truck could fit thru 

[MikeV73]

What a cluster thus far.  Work all off season for a delay penalty and a scrappy first down play.
