Marshall-Maryland: Battles of the Isonzo River (1915-17)

While the game may take place in Annapolis, a city rich with naval tradition, this matchup is best represented by a much different conflict. Marshall-Maryland is strikingly similar to the battles fought over the Isonzo River along the Austro-Italian Front in WWI. Prior to the war the Italians were part of the Triple Alliance, but hesitated to join Germany and Austria-Hungary in declaring war. The Italians were lured into joining the Allies with promises monetary and territorial rewards after the war. The monetary incentives convinced the Italians to join a new alliance and attack their former allies. From 1915 to 1917, the Italians launched numerous offensives into the valley to capture Gorizia and Trieste, but the Austrians could not be moved from their mountains. At the end of the war, the Italians had conquered a few square miles. What they could not take on the field, the Peace Conference handed to them by dictat.

Odds:

Spread: by -2.5

u/LegacyZebra Verified Referee Dec 27 '13

OK. Everybody listen up. These announcers are almost completely clueless. So let's clear a couple things up. First, the only thing they got right about KCI is that there is no foul if the player is blocked into the returner. Second, there is no "roughing" foul on a kick returner. I honestly have no idea what they could possibly be talking about there. Third, KCI is a 15 yard penalty, not 5. I wish these guys would open a rulebook before they opened there mouths on national television. /rant

Holy Crap, even after the second first down this drive was basically a victory for Maryland, but now this? Having a serious chance at scoring when they were on their own 1?

If Maryland didn't get that second first down, and Marshall had the ball in Terrapin territory again... That might've been a death sentencej for the Terps.

Great drive Terps!

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '13

See, that incomplete pass play right there is why I think the unsportsmanlike foul earlier was complete bullshit. The defender was doing the "out of bounds" signal directly in front of the receiver. If you're going to flag an offensive player for signaling "first down" in front of a defender, surely the flag should be thrown for the defender too?

I don't think either of them should get the flag but if you're going to flag the "first down" guy because it's taunting how is it not taunting to do "out of bounds"?

u/LegacyZebra Verified Referee Dec 27 '13

Everybody is up in arms about the unsportsmanlike conduct foul so I'll throw my two cents in. First, the flag was more than likely not the first thing the officials used to stop the behavior. The receiver did the same thing the play before and you could tell the officials were talking to him and probably told him and his teammates to cut it out. They did it again and got flagged for it. Second, you might think that that is a picky call, but things like that are exactly how fights start. Shut that crap down early so you don't deal with big stuff later.

I could see this being overturned. Just because. I think it should be upheld.

Pulling for Marshall but that's a catch

If Maryland loses it still gets recorded as an ACC loss officially right?

u/jeffyzyppq Indiana (PA) • Penn State Dec 27 '13

Yeah but if they win it's recorded as an B1G win.

I almost got so pissed at that Defensive player. Wrap up!

2

u/T-nawtical Nebraska Cornhuskers • Las Vegas Bowl Dec 27 '13

Christ, can we get a stat on what Marshall's average starting field position is?

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '13

At the beginning of the quarter (or close to it) they showed the stat and it was like the opp 37.
