While the fallout from the CAA's recent surge against the ACC has drawn significant attention going into Saturday's matchup between JMU and Maryland, there is another notable storyline that has been in the works the entire offseason.
The Terps' defense, which got drubbed 52-13 at Cal, was recently taken over by former Massachusetts coach Don Brown. Brown has gone 5-2 against Matthews in CAA play, dating back to Brown's days as coach at Northeastern.
In this Daily News-Record article, Mike Barber talks about how despite last week's upsets, Maryland is still poised to rebound from its shellacking at Cal.
Brown brought with him a repertoire of blitzing schemes that attracted positive attention in the preseason, but while Cal is a national championship contender in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A), I would say the Terps should still be wary going into their matchup with JMU, a Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) opponent.
