Ratliff Sees Mixed Fall Moments For Maryland Tight End
Don Ratliff notes limited receptions this fall and a missed near touchdown versus Syracuse as a tough but hopeful start. He recalls transitioning from offense to defense in 1971 under Roy Lester and identifies himself as a tight end, with early career roots in Handley High School and Fork Union.

Terps offense praised as Ratliff returns to receiver role
Ratliff explains he was moved from defensive end to offense by Coach Lester to fill Guy Roberts' spot and improve the Terps passing attack. Ratliff commends the Eisaman guided system, notes QB inconsistency but a 769 to 662 yard edge, and says Maryland must unify the unit with receivers Frank Russell Dan Bungeri and himself at split end or tight end.
