Maryland Terrapins ACC Preview 2008 College Football Predictions: Maryland’s head coach, Ralph Friedgen (56-31), who had been also playing the part of offensive coordinator will hand those duties over to ex-Kansas State OC, James Franklin. The Maryland Terrapins’ betting odds to win the ACC in 2008 are +1400, according to BetUS.com. Franklin will immediately have to decide which QB is best fit to run his offensive attack. The QB position right now is up for grabs between these three guys: Jordan Steffy, Chris Turner, and (transfer) Josh Portis.  Who ever it is that the coaching staff decides will run the offense, one thing is certain, he will have quality weapons to throw to. Maryland’s receiving core is arguably the best in the Atlantic Coast Conference. With Wide Receivers such as: Darrius Heyward-Bay, Isaiah Williams, LaQuan Williams, and Danny Oquendo. Yet another positive aspect of the 2008 Maryland offensive team is the Offensive line. Last season, the O-line was pretty much a disappointment due to numerous injuries. This season, however, those same players return healthy and more experienced. The weakest link in this Maryland Terrapin’s team is on defense. By loosing defensive-linemen Carlos Feliciano and Dre Moore, along with LB Erin Henderson, defensive coordinator, Chris Cosh, has some holes. Cosh is apparently making some shifts in the line by sliding DE Jeremy Navarre towards the middle of the line, to fill in the void left by Carlos Feliciano.
