Want to know how good Wilde Lake's football team is going to be this season?This little anecdote will tell you.Wildecats coach Doug DuVall broke his leg in a snowmobile accident behind his home in Ellicott City last February. Just before the 2 1/2 -hour operation that repaired his femur bone with a permanent metal rod, DuVall implored the doctor not to let anything happen to him."I've watched this football team develop for four years and I don't want to miss it," DuVall said. DuVall, coaching his 23rd season at Wilde Lake, will be around to enjoy every minute, although he's still limping a bit.The Wildecats have posted records of 5-6, 6-4 and 7-3 the past three seasons.

Florida State passing game vs. Maryland pass defense Both sides of this equation have seen a little uncertainty recently. For Florida State, it's what coach Bobby Bowden might do with the quarterback situation, while Maryland may have to do without its best pass defender, Tony Okanlawon. At quarterback, Chris Rix has had an uneven year, completing 76 percent of his passes and throwing three touchdowns against Wake Forest, then throwing four interceptions and getting sacked six times against Miami.

COLLEGE PARK -- Maryland Terrapins senior strong safety Tony Jackson did not take long to make an imprint on yesterday's 32-20 victory over West Virginia. Just when it appeared the Mountaineers were about to score first after marching 74 yards on their opening possession, Jackson leaped in front of West Virginia receiver Antonio Brown for an interception that set the tone for a Maryland defense that would force six turnovers, negating 430 yards of offense by West Virginia. Jackson, out of Wilde Lake High School, was only getting started.
