This is great news!!
Our defense is not great against the option, and that's what EJ Manuel did successfully against Clemson. You'd have to think a full week of gameplanning, and they'd run nothing but option against the Terps D with Manuel starting.
Ponder is dangerous when he gets out of the pocket, but I think the Terps D is much better suited to defend against a QB like him than a super-athletic one like Manuel.
