Snap Count Depth Chart - Maryland

Submitted by trueblueintexas on November 22nd, 2021 at 3:21 PM

Apparently Michigan was planning on a blowout because all of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th stringers travelled this week. 

Offense: 

  • Filiaga got the start at LG this week. Keegan came in after the first couple of drives and played the rest of the way until back-up time.
  • McCarthy did not get many snaps given the type of game. Part of that was getting Villari and Bowman more than 1-2 snaps. 
  • Trente Jones primarily got his snaps as the back-up RT vs. his 6th O-lineman role. 
  • The TE rotation was small compared to previous blow-outs. It was also the lowest TE/snap ration of the season at 1.35.
  • Congrats to Will Rolapp for not just making the depth chart but for making a catch.
  • George Johnson was wearing #17 and came in as a receiver. Previously he was on defense. 

Defense: 

  • Concerned Brad Hawkins left for an injury and not just to save snaps. After the first 5 plays, the basic safety combo was Moore & Moten. 
  • No Mullings at LB or Upshaw at DE/DT despite snaps to be had. Might be an injury watch situation or...they knew they would win big and wanted to get some guys snaps and the travel team is a limited roster. 
  • TJ Guy played in his first game and got one sack. EXPECT BIG THINGS!

The chart:

Freshman: 

  • Greg Crippen played in his 5 game. The redshirt is burned
  • Previously mentioned, TJ Guy gets in his first game
  • Ja'Den McBurrows did not play, thus keeping the redshirt an option

How significant was Brad Hawkins' injury?

“I don’t think it’s gonna be. I know what happened, and I don’t think it’s significant. But, I don’t know for sure.”

I'd guess he's probable. My initial concern would have been concussion, but then he wouldn't have come back out for workouts if that were the case.

Zack Shaw on 24/7 posted that Upshaw was absent from warm ups for Maryland.  I don't know if he travelled or not, but I would assume this is injury related as he has been in and out due to injury a few times this year.

I always find away games entertaining when you look at who has to play on special teams. Upshaw is on kickoff coverage. Jones is on kick return. The limited roster makes for some occasional weird deployments on ST where you get to see a very large human trying to sprint 30-60 yards downfield to make a tackle or a block.

I hate to say it but Moore & Moten may be the best Safety combo to use against osu (assuming Dax is at Nickel most of the time, obv). 

I just don't know if Hawkins can cut it in coverage against those receivers.

Loved seeing TJ Guy get his first sack and the emotions that came with it.   Also, it's been fun watching Rod Moore get some PT in the last few weeks.  For a freshman he seems to get in on a lot of run plays, and I feel like we haven't heard about him much in the passing game (which obviously is what you want).

 

Some really talented young guys on this team besides the ones we're always hearing about (JJ, DE, AA, JC)

Whenever I see acronyms and other abbreviations of players’ names on MGoBlog, I think of the rosters for Key & Peele’s Annual East/West Collegiate Bowl Game.

JJ - JayKwellin Jinglesplotch, Louisiana Tech University
DE - Deliriousness Ecstasy, University of Wollongong, Australia
AA - AyAyRon Ampersandia, University of Phoenix
JC - Jimmy CrackKorn, University of South Carolina

Crippen won’t play at the college level for 5 years so his redshirt is irrelevant. 
We basically got one year from Ojabo. R/S, 2020 COVID, then this year. On paper he’s a redshirt freshman?
