Boston College Daily Links: More Maryland Win Reactions

"I made some good decisions and the line helped out," said Rettig. "They just said ‘We’ve been here and we can do this, we’ve proven it in practice and in games. The line stepped up and said ‘We are going to protect you here so you can make plays that we know you can.’ It worked out for us. It’s nice we put it together at the end of the game and scored a touchdown."

What surprised me was the way the Terps lost. I noted in my updated game story that – for the second week in a row – the Terps lost because their defense sagged at the end. This is the same defense that ranks 11th in the nation in the FBS.

The Eagles weren’t heading to a bowl game or celebrating a major upset. What they did have to celebrate, though, was finally a pay-off for all of their hard work. A few big plays and one important W to shut up the negativity they’ve heard the past five weeks. For one week, at least, they have a winning streak. And now they can take in a much-deserved deep breath of relief, knowing that this team and this season still matter.
