Kasim Hill – Noteworthy
During a harsh season in which the Maryland football team has been forced to deal with an array of setbacks – none worse than the death of player Jordan McNair – the Terrapins have repeatedly showed their resiliency. With No. 9 Ohio State next on the schedule, Maryland has yet another obstacle to overcome. Interim coach Matt Canada announced Tuesday that starting quarterback Kasim Hill tore the ACL in his left knee during last week’s game at Indiana, making this the second straight season he’s had cut short by an ACL tear. “It’s very disappointing. Obviously, there are no words to say to make it any better,” Canada said. “Great kid, a kid who worked so hard to battle his way back. He will again.” A year ago, Hill tore his right ACL in the third game of his freshman season. Now, he’s got to deal with surgery and rehabilitation for a second time. Hill posted on Instagram : “Never thought I’d have to attack this process all over again, but the Lord has more adversity for me to overcome.” Hill started all 10 games this season. He threw for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns with four interceptions. – AP College Football
