GAME NOTES - Maryland Athletics

THE GAME• The University of Maryland football team returns to action after its first full bye week of 2005 as it heads to Chapel

Hill, N.C., to take on the North Carolina Tar Heels. Kickoff from Kenan Memorial Stadium is set for 12:09 p.m.with the game being televised regionally on JP Sports and broadcast on the Terrapin Sports Radio Network(radio pregame starts at 10:30 a.m.).

• Maryland (4-4, 2-3 ACC) has lost a pair of tough games in its last two outings, both coming at the hands of Top10 opponents. In its last game, the Terps carried a six-point lead to the nine-minute mark of the fourth quarter atthen No. 10/9 Florida State before falling 35-27 on homecoming in Tallahassee. For more on the loss to FloridaState, see “Quick Hits, Week Eight.”

• The Terrapins will need two wins in their last three games to become bowl-eligible.• North Carolina got back in the bowl picture last weekend with a 16-14 home win over 19th-ranked Boston

College. The Tar Heels made the most of their only touchdown -- a 90-yard return on the opening kick byWallace Wright -- and three field goals by Connor Barth, handing BC its second consecutive loss.

• This week’s game is the last of three road contests in a four-game stretch for the Terrapins. In addition, beginningwith the Temple game, the Terps will have finished the season playing four of its final six games away fromhome.

• Neither team is ranked or receiving votes in either of the latest major polls.

SERIES NOTES -- TERPS vs. HEELS• Saturday’s game will mark the 66th meeting between the Terrapins and Tar Heels with UNC leading the all-time

series 35-29-1.• The Maryland/North Carolina series is one that can best be defined by spurts by one team or the other. The

series began with Maryland winning four of seven, but from there it went UNC 9-0-1 from 1927-50; Maryland8-3 from 1951-62; UNC 6-2 from ‘63-72; Maryland 9-3 from ‘73-85; UNC 11-4 from 1986-2000; Maryland threestraight from 2001-present.

• The Terrapins are seeking a four-game win streak in the series for the first time since the mid ‘80s, when they ranoff four in a row from 1982-85.

• The last meeting between the two teams was in College Park in 2003 and the game was pointed to as a turningpoint in the season by Friedgen. The Terps trailed 14-6 early, but stormed back to score 39 points in the secondquarter, an Atlantic Coast Conference record. Maryland rolled to 612 yards of offense and went on to win theirnext four games, including a season-ending 41-7 victory over West Virginia in the Toyota Gator Bowl.

• In their last trip to UNC, the Terrapins got their first win in Chapel Hill since 1988, breaking a string of sevenlosses to the Tar Heels on their home turf. They did so in dominating fashion. After UNC took an early 7-0 leadon a one-yard sneak by QB C.J. Stephens, Maryland rattled off 59 consecutive points to post the largest marginof victory by either team in the series that began in 1920.

• In the 2002 win, Maryland had three plays go for 60 yards or more, the most notable being Steve Suter’s 77-yard punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter, his NCAA record-tying fourth of the season. Then-freshman Josh Allen also rushed for 91 yards on just six carries with a pair of touchdowns.

• Ralph Friedgen’s first win as a coach at Maryland came against North Carolina on September 1, 2001, a 23-7 victory at Byrd Stadium. In that game, the Terps allowed a 77-yard touchdown to current Pittsburgh SteelerWillie Parker on the game’s opening play but did not allow another Carolina score in what would be the first ofseven straight wins to open the season. Bruce Perry showed glimpses of what was to come in a season thatwould garner him ACC Offensive Player of the Year as he rushed 21 times for 116 yards.

• The teams have split the last four meetings, but the Terrapins have won four of the last five in the series and felljust shy of a win in 2000 (13-10). In that 2000 game, both offenses struggled with the Terps holding UNC to four

MARYLAND at NORTH CAROLINA • NOTES/BY THE NUMBERS

11111Maryland has just two players (senior Ryan McDonald)on the two-deep of its offensive line whose eligibilityis older than that of a sophomore. The scheduledstarters for this week’s game are a senior, threesophomores and a true freshman.

3rdJunior tight end Vernon Davis is the third-leadingreceiving tight end in the country (and first in theACC) in terms of yards per game (74.0).

9th9th9th9th9thDespite losing three regular starters in the defensivebackfield from last season, Maryland ranks ninthnationally in pass defense, yielding an average of169.4 yards per game.

14thThe Terrapins’ 2005 schedule was ranked as the 14th-toughest in the nation according to the Sagarin com-puter rankings following the Florida State game.

21Maryland’s second quarter at Florida State featuredas many points (21) by the Terps than they had beenable to score in 14 of the previous 15 games in theseries.

35.3The average margin of victory for Maryland in itsthree meetings with North Carolina under RalphFriedgen. The Terrapins have outscored the Tar Heels141-35 in those three games with 118 of the pointscoming in the last two meetings (2002 and 2003).

first downs through more than three quarters, but Maryland could not hold the 10-7 advantage it had stakeditself with 14:14 remaining in the game. Ronald Curry scored the game-winner on a 25-yard run with 7:24 left.

• For a recap of the 2003 game against North Carolina, see the Opponent/Series Info page of this release.

QUICK HITS, WEEK EIGHT• Willie Reid’s 61-yard punt return at the start of the second quarter was the first for a touchdown against

Maryland since Tremain Hall of NC State returned on 83 yards against the Terps, Nov. 22, 2003.• Sophomore Lance Ball ran for 120 yards against the Seminoles, the second 100+-yard rushing game of his

career. His hitting the century mark also was the third time ever for a Terp against Florida State (LaMontJordan in 1999 and 2000).

• Sam Hollenbach was in the game a total of five snaps before exiting with an injured left shoulder. Hecompleted his lone pass (the first completion of the game), a 29-yarder to Vernon Davis.

• Maryland’s first score of the day was a one-yard plunge by QB Joel Statham. The rushing TD was thesecond of Statham’s career (first was against Florida State last year).

• The Terps first passing touchdown of the game was an amazing throw-and-catch from Statham to DerrickFenner, a 29-yard effort. The TD was the first of the season for Statham (first since the Florida State gamelast year) and the second touchdown of the season for Fenner.

• Maryland tied the score following the Fenner touchdown with a two-point conversion by pass, once againfrom Statham to Fenner.

• The Terrapins took a 21-14 lead on a 20-yard strike from Statham to Jo Jo Walker, the second receivingtouchdown of the season for the senior captain.

• Maryland’s 21-14 halftime lead was its first-ever at the break in Tallahassee and the third in series history(2005, 2004, 1994). Its 21-point second quarter marked the most points ever scored by the Terps against FSUand was as many points as the team had scored in a game in 14 of the previous 15 meetings.

• The Terrapins opened the second half by intercepting FSU QB Drew Weatherford. The pick was by WilliamKershaw -- the senior’s first of the year and second of his career. His first career interception came againstFlorida State last year. The turnover led to a 40-yard field goal by Dan Ennis and a 24-14 Maryland lead.

SELECT COMPANY• Ralph Friedgen’s 36 wins in his first four years as a head coach ranks tied for 10th in NCAA Division I-A

history for fourth-year coaches. His company on that list is noteworthy.• Nestled between Nebraska’s Tom Osborne (9th) and Boston College’s Frank Leahy (12th) stands Friedgen

and a coach who Terp fans may recognize -- current defensive coordinator Gary Blackney. Blackney posteda 36-8-2 record at Bowling Green from 1991-94.

• Though he was the top second-, third- and fourth-year coach in ACC history by wins, the order to finish atopthe list in his fifth will be tall. Maryland will have to win four games -- three regular season and one bowl game-- for Friedgen to tie the mark of 44 wins set by Clemson’s Danny Ford from 1979-83. Now eight games intohis fifth season, Friedgen has 40 wins which ties him with UNC’s Dick Crum (1978-81) in the third spot. Witha victory over North Carolina, he will move into a tie for second with former Terrapin mentor Jerry Claiborne(1972-76).

A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE• Atop the Maryland coaching staff are a head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator who

combined, have as much experience as nearly any threesome in Division I-A football. Between RalphFriedgen, Charlie Taaffe and Gary Blackney, there is a combined 97 years of full-time coaching experienceat either the pro or collegiate levels.

• Only two other programs can boast more experience at the top of their coaching staff than Maryland’s nearcentury of experience. Penn State leads the way with Joe Paterno (HC), Galen Hall (OC) and Tom Bradley(DC) accounting for 117 years of experience, while Florida State is second with Bobby Bowden (HC), JeffBowden (OC) and Mickey Andrews (DC) accounting for 101.

• The coaching experience on the Terrapin staff does not end with Friedgen and his coordinators. The Marylandstaff of position coaches, overall, possesses a combined total of 212 years of full-time experience at either thecollegiate or pro levels.

• That total includes five coaches (excluding Friedgen, Taaffe and Blackney) who have been at it for 15 yearsor more, and the 212 years means an average of over 21 years of experience per coach on the 2005 staff.

“ ”“You always hear about great middleweights who are ‘pound for

pound’ the best fighters in the world. That’s meant as a complimentto smaller men. Ralph is not a small man, but pound for pound he’sstill the best offensive coach in the country.” -- ESPN’s Ivan Maisel

He led his 2001 team to just the fifth 10-win season in school history and its firstACC title since 1985.

• By winning the ACC title in ‘01, Friedgen became the first mentor in conferencehistory to win the championship in his first year as a head coach. He also tiedthe mark of 10-2 set by Ken Hatfield (Clemson) in 1990, the best record ever byan ACC coach in his first season.

• Prior to his current stint in College Park, Friedgen served as Georgia Tech’soffensive coordinator for nine of the previous 14 years.

• Maryland’s offense has thrived since Friedgen’s arrival, posting school recordsfor points in 2001 (390) and 2002 (451).

• From 1998-2000, Friedgen orchestrated a Yellow Jacket offensive unit thataveraged 36.7 points and 444 yards of total offense per game, while posting acumulative record of 27-8 (.771).

• The 58-year old Friedgen owns the rare distinction of coordinating the offense ofa collegiate national champion (Georgia Tech in 1990) and a Super Bowlparticipant (the San Diego Chargers in 1994).

• In his nine-plus years as a full-time coach at Maryland (1982-86 as an assistantand last year as a head coach), Friedgen has been a part of four Atlantic CoastConference championships.

• Friedgen and Ross coached together for a total of 20 seasons. Their timetogether included successful stops at The Citadel, Maryland, Georgia Tech and

the San Diego Chargers.• In his first five years as a full-timecoach at Maryland (1982-86), Friedgen wasinstrumental (along with QB coach Joe Krivak)in the development of future pro quarterbacksBoomer Esiason, Frank Reich and StanGelbaugh, all of whom spent at least a de-cade in the NFL.

• A 1970 graduate of Maryland who also earned his master’s degree in CollegePark, Friedgen came to the school as a 190-pound former high school quarter-back and finished his four years with two letters as an offensive guard andAcademic All-ACC honors.

SINGLE-GAMEbbbbbestsestsestsestsests COACHING CONNECTIONS• Ralph Friedgen is not the only member of the

Terrapin coaching staff with previous ties to Col-lege Park, though this is his fourth stint at Mary-land (player from 1965-68; graduate assistant from1969-72; offensive coordinator/offensive line coachfrom 1982-86 and the present stint).

• Defensive line coach Dave Sollazzo was a gradu-ate assistant for the Terrapins in 1984 and defen-sive line coach in ‘86-87.

• As stated previous, Sollazzo is also one of sev-eral coaches with a connection to another school-- The Citadel. Sollazzo played for (1974-76) andhelped coach (1989-98) the Bulldogs, whileFriedgen coached there from 1973-79. CharlieTaaffe was a head coach there from 1987-96 andoutside linebackers coach Al Seamonson servedthere from 1987-99.

• Friedgen was actually Sollazzo’s position coachat The Citadel. In addition, the head coach at thecollege at the time was former Terp mentor andcurrent Army coach Bobby Ross (Bulldog headcoach from 1973-77; Terps from ‘82-86).

• This year, the Terps started 1-2 and are now 3-1since.

RAISING THE BAR• With its win on October 8th over Temple, Mary-

land has 40 victories over its last four-plus sea-sons.

• The Terps’ total of 36 wins from 2001-04 was thesecond-highest four-year win total in school his-tory. Maryland’s top effort was 37 wins underJerry Claiborne from 1975-78.

• The 2004 season marked the first time in Friedgen’stenure that the team failed to win 10 games. In the108 years of football prior to Friedgen’s arrival,Maryland had never put together three straightnine-win seasons much less 10 like the Terps’ didfrom 2001-03.

• Since 1892, Maryland has had seven 10-win sea-sons, three of which have come in Friedgen’sfour-plus years.

SAM QUARTER-BACH• In the last two seasons, all eyes have been on the

quarterback position at Maryland. Last year, therewas little mention of Sam Hollenbach (pro-nounced HALL-un-bock) as a serious contenderfor the job, but a start against Wake Forest in the2004 finale and the ensuing strong overall play in‘05 makes it clear the Terrapin coaching staff tohave found their man.

• Hollenbach had found the bottom of the depth chartin his first two years, struggling both with the of-fense and with delivering the football. Persever-ance, work and a change in his throwing motion,however, have steadily moved him to the startingjob and early season success.

• In his first eight games this season, the Pennsyl-vania native is 128-of-204 (63 percent) for 1,700yards with eight touchdowns and nine intercep-tions. He has also rushed for two TDs.

• Against #19/18 Virginia, Hollenbach didn’t startslow, but the way he finished made it seem like it.Two early interceptions dogged the Pennsylvanianative, but his final three quarters showed no fearas he completed 18 of his final 22 passes for 249yards. On the day, he finished 25-of-33 for 320yards with a pair of TDs and interceptions. Hiscompletion and yardage totals were both careerhighs.

• Entering this week, Hollenbach is 5-3 in his ca-reer as a starter and has a pass efficiency rating of136.9, second-best in the ACC.

• Hollenbach’s spot in the ACC rankings for yard-age were hurt by this year’s Florida State gameas he was only in for five plays before leaving thegame due to injury. He connected on his onlypass in that game (29 yards to Vernon Davis) butit still dropped him to fifth in total offense (220.6avg.) and third in passing average (212.5).

HOW HE STACKS UP• Below is a look at how Sam Hollenbach com-

pares to the other three starting quarterbacks(Shawn Hill, Scott McBrien and Joel Statham)in their first seasons under Ralph Friedgen andCharlie Taaffe (through eight* games).Player (Yr.) Att-Cmp-Int TD Yds. Eff. Rtg. YPGS. Hill (‘01) 245-143-8 7 1,667 118.4 208.4S. McBrien (‘02) 160-92-5 8 1,433 142.9 179.1J. Statham (‘04) 200-108-10 8 1,405 116.2 175.6S. Hollenbach (‘05) 204-128-9 8 1,700 136.9 212.5*Hollenbach only played five snaps in game 8 vs. FSU

RECEIVERS HAVING BIG YEAR• One of the noticeable differences in this year’ steam

besides the play at quarterback has been that ofthe team’s receivers under first-year coach BryanBossard.

• Through eight games a year ago, Maryland’s lead-ing wide receiver was Derrick Fenner, who hadcaught 20 passes for 280 yards and two touch-downs. The top three receivers accounted for 53receptions, 675 yards and three touchdowns.

• By comparison, this year’s top three wide receiv-ers -- Danny Melendez, Jo Jo Walker andFenner -- have posted 79 receptions for 1,041yards and five TDs. The third-leading wide re-ceiver (Fenner) has four more receptions than hedid as the team’s leader at this point last year.

• The team’s top producer in the passing game thisyear has actually been TE Vernon Davis whohas 32 receptions for 592 yards and three TDs.

GREEN SHELLS• Last year’s Maryland team was a young bunch,

but this season, the Terrapins are even more greenthan last.

TERRAPINCouncilCouncilCouncilCouncilCouncilBelow are the 11 players who were chosen as members of theTerrapin Council for 2005, a group which serves as a collectivevoice for the players when communicating issues with the staff:

• Friedgen likes to throw out a note about the num-ber of players on the roster with three or moreyears eligibility remaining, but his number (58)has been based on a look at student-athletes re-ceiving financial aid.

• A look at the entire roster is astounding. A total of72 Maryland players are sophomore or youngerwith 47 of those Terps being freshmen (redshirt ortrue).

• Through eight games, Maryland has had seventrue freshmen and 13 redshirt freshmen see ac-tion.

• With DE Jeremy Navarre starting in game oneand OT Jared Gaither in game four, the Terpshave had a true freshman start the earliest in aseason in Friedgen’s tenure on either side of theball.

NOTING THE TERP DEFENSE• When he was hired to come to Maryland, the talk

about the mark Ralph Friedgen would make inCollege Park was all about offense. In each of thefour seasons heading into 2005, however, the mostconsistent Terp unit was the defense.

• Since 2001, the Maryland defense has allowedan average of 18.6 points per game and has yet tofinish a season with a scoring average above20.0.

• Since 2001, 38 of Maryland’s 58 opponents (66%)have been held to 20 points or less.

• Since 2002, Maryland has held its opposition score-less in 84 quarters (11 in 2005). When it heldVirginia Tech scoreless in the first quarter of thisyear’s game, it became the first team to hold theHokies scoreless in any quarter through sevengames of 2005.

• Maryland has held eight opponents to 100 yardsor less passing since 2001 and two (Navy andWest Virginia) this season.

• In Blackney’s tenure, Maryland has held its oppo-sition below 100 yards rushing 13 times.

• In week five of this year, Virginia’s MarquesHagans became the first quarterback since ChrisRix in 2003 to throw for more than 250 yardsagainst Maryland. Hagans was 17-of-35 (.485)for 270 yards and no TDs against the Terps.

• Just twice since game two of 2003 has a quarter-back been able to pass for more than one touch-down against the Terrapins (Virginia Tech’s BryanRandall last year and Clemson’s Charlie Whitehurstin week two of this season).

• The Terps’ effort in game four of this year was itsfirst true notable accomplishment of 2005. TheTerrapins held Wake Forest to just 244 yards ofoffense, but more importantly, 111 on the ground,159 below the Deacs’ average coming into thegame.

• Though it struggled holding Virginia Tech in checkin the fourth quarter this year, the Maryland de-fense did have at least one notable accomplish-ment against the Hokies as it intercepted QBMarcus Vick three times (Vick had only beenpicked twice in his previous six games of theseason).

TERPS NATION’S LEADERS• Opposing offenses have struggled finding the end

zone through the air against Maryland’s defensethis year. The Terrapins are tied for the nationallead in fewest passing touchdowns allowed. Theledger:Rk. Team Pass TDs Allowed1. Maryland.......................................... 3

Miami (Fla.) ...................................... 32. Auburn .............................................. 4

Mississippi ........................................ 43. Alabama ........................................... 5

Georgia ............................................. 5

BLACKNEY’S “D” PULLING RANK• Since Gary Blackney arrived in 2001, Maryland’s

defense has consistently been among the nationalleaders in several categories. Below is a look atsome of the defense’s accomplishments in thattime (bold denotes Top 30 national ranking):

2001 2002 2003 2004 2005Total Def.: 30 36 15 21 56Scoring Def.: 18 7 6 27 48Pass. Def.: 82 52 12 8 9Pass. Eff. Def.: 34 36 17 16 39

• In addition to the ranking in categories listed above,it is notable that in 2001 the Terps finished ninth inthe NCAA in rushing defense, seventh in turn-overs gained, and ranked second nationally (be-hind Miami) with 24 interceptions.

JACKSON LEADS NCAA• D’Qwell Jackson was considered undersized as

a prep. He began his career playing in the shad-ows of a legend (E.J. Henderson) early in hiscareer. Now a senior, the leader of the Terrapindefense has been through just about everythingand has emerged as the unquestionable leader ofthe Maryland defense, a major awards and All-America candidate, and one of the top defensiveplayers at any position in the country.

• In the last three weeks, Jackson has made thenext round in each the Butkus Award (semifinal-ist), Lott Trophy (quarterfinalist) and Bednarik Award(semifinalist). He follows the heels of his prede-cessor, E.J. Henderson, who won both the Butkus(nation’s best linebacker) and Bednarik (nation’sbest defensive player) in 2002.

• Jackson has led the Terrapin defense in tackling ineach of his two-plus years as a starter (136 in2003; an ACC-best 123 in 2004; and now anteam-leading 98 in 2005).

• Thus far in ‘05, Jackson leads the nation with anaverage of 14.0 tackles per game.

• In his final regular season trip to his home state,Jackson posted a game-high (both teams) 15 tack-les and a tackle for loss against No. 10/9 FSU.

• After missing the Temple game due to injury, Jack-son returned to the lineup against No. 3 VirginiaTech and finished with a team-high 11 tackles andan interception -- his first of the year -- which hereturned 21 yards to the Hokie 33-yard line.

• Against No. 19/18 Virginia, Jackson led the teamin tackles with 14 while recording a sack and ahalf TFL.

• Against West Virginia, Jackson moved into theMaryland career top 10 with his 359th tackle (hecurrently stands sixth with 393).

• Jackson’s performance in week one against Navyhelped him earn ACC Player of the Week honorsfor his position. He has been named the league’splayer of the week four times in the last two years.

• The fiercest competitor on the Terp roster, Jacksonhas led Maryland in tackles in 20 of 31 games thelast three years and all seven of the games hehas played in this year. He has also had 19career games with double-digit tackles (in 31 starts).

• Jackson -- a first team All-ACC selection whofinished second in balloting (by two votes) forDefensive Player of the Year honors -- averaged11.2 tackles per game last year, making him thelone player in the league to average 10 or moretackles per game.

• A preseason first or second team All-American onnearly every major publication’s preseason list,is a team captain and its community service leaderin 2005.

TURNOVER LOW IN ‘06• In addition to the high number of young Terps

taking the field this year, the more experiencedMaryland players -- in terms of their academiceligibility -- are somewhat few and far between,leaving the team with likely much the same looknext season.

• Maryland has 16 seniors on its current roster,with two of those seniors -- OT Stephon Heyerand TB Josh Allen -- scheduled to return nextseason.

• Heading into the ninth game weekend of this year,just seven of 22 listed starters are seniors.

• On defense, the Terps will lose a total of just fourplayers from its entire two-deep to graduation fol-lowing this year.

• The Terrapin offensive line has just one seniorlisted on its 10-man two deep.

THE DUKE• One of the most physically-gifted players in the

history of Maryland football, TE Vernon “Duke”Davis has had a breakout season in 2005.

• Davis led the team in receiving yards last yearfrom his H-back position, posting 441 yards (on27 receptions) in what could best be described asa down year for Maryland’s pass offense. Througheight games this season, it is clear he is going toeasily surpass those marks.

• Davis currently leads the Terps with 32 receptionsfor 592 yards and three touchdowns. His 74.0yards per game receiving is second-best in theACC and third-best nationally among tight ends(53rd overall).

• Davis is averaging 18.5 yards per reception, anamazing number for a tight end. Should his aver-age hold up in the final three-four games, that wouldmake the single-season Top 10 at Maryland.

• In catching five passes for a career-high 158 yardsagainst West Virginia, Davis became the firstMaryland player to record back-to-back 100-yardreceiving games since 1995 when Jermaine Lewisposted 205 yards on nine catches (9/23/95 vs.Duke) and 189 (9/28/95 at Georgia Tech) in con-secutive contests.

• Against Clemson, the Washington, D.C. nativehad his first big game of 2005. He finished with acareer-high six receptions for 140 yards and atouchdown, often dragging tacklers with him if notrunning by them.

• For his efforts against both Clemson and WestVirginia this year, Davis was named John MackeyNational Tight End of the Week.

• Named to the Mackey Award watch list this sea-son after being named the national tight end of theweek for his play against Duke last year, Davis’strength numbers are unparalleled in Terp historyby a tight end. His spring 2005 testing numbersincluded a 460-pound bench, 685-pound squat,40-inch vertical jump and a time of 4.41 in the 40-yard dash.

TURTLES IN NAME ONLY• Though this year’s Maryland team is again a young

one, it is also notable that team speed andathleticism have improved as the current coach-ing staff’s recruits are fully integrated into the sys-tem (2005 will be the first year there will havebeen no holdovers from the previous staff’s re-cruiting efforts).

• The Terrapins had 14 players run in the 4.5-or-better range in the 40-yard dash in spring testing(note that all times are an average of six stop-watches on the same sprint).

• Five of the 12 wide receivers who tested in thespring ran 4.54 or better, two tailbacks ran 4.5 orbetter (Lattimore and Merrills) and five defensivebacks ran under a 4.5 (Barnes, McPhearson,Taylor, Wilson and Gardner).


MARYLAND at NORTH CAROLINA • NOTES/RECORD WATCH

• Two receivers who did not test -- newcomersDarrius Heyward-Bey (10.54 100m) and DannyOquendo (7.46 55mH) -- were among the topprep sprinters in the nation this past track season.

• Two notable times -- CB Gerrick McPhearsonbroke Renaldo Nehemiah’s school record with a4.21; Vernon Davis, at 250 pounds, ran a 4.41.

ENNIS STEPS RIGHT IN• Junior Dan Ennis started his career at Maryland

having never kicked in an organized football game.In addition, he was working behind the ACC’s all-time leading scorer Nick Novak, a player whostill had two-years eligibility remaining. Despitethose obstacles, Ennis worked to get better eachyear and the results are now showing.

• In his first season as the Terrapins’ placekicker,Ennis has been about as good as the team couldever expect in its first eight games. Thus far in2005, Ennis has connected on 14 of his 18 fieldgoal attempts.

• Ennis opened this season connecting on 11-straightfield goals before missing his final two kicks at arain-soaked Temple in week six.

• This week, Ennis is 12th nationally in field goalsand fourth in the ACC with a 1.75 per game aver-age.

PODLESH MOVING UP THE CHARTS• Junior Adam Podlesh settled into his career at

Maryland before the ink had dried in the recordbooks on his predecessor Brooks Barnard’s strongcareer. Though Podlesh has not cracked all ofBarnard’s records yet, Maryland finds itself witharguably the most complete and versatile punterin the nation.

• Last season, Podlesh maintained a 44.8-yard av-erage (second-best in the ACC and 10th-best inthe nation) while his net average (39.4) led theACC and was also seventh in the NCAA.

• On 145 career punts, Podlesh has dropped 37percent (53) inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.

• With a 45.1-yard average heading into this week,Podlesh ranks eighth nationally and second in theACC in punting average.

• Podlesh had one of his best games as a Terp atWake Forest this year. Dueling the ACC’s othertop punter, Ryan Plackemeier, Podlesh posted a49.7-yard average on six punts with three ballsdowned inside the 20-yard line. In addition, hisnet average for the day was an impressive 47.7yards per kick.

• In being named the second team All-ACC punterin 2003, Podlesh became the first freshman inschool history to be recognized by the league.He earned the honor for the second-straight sea-son in 2004.

HOMEBOYS• In his first signing day with the Terps (2001), Ralph

Friedgen said that in addition to landing some ofthe top recruits nationally, one of his goals was tomake sure that all of the best players in the state ofMaryland stayed in state and became Terps.

• Over the course of the past seven years, theMaryland-D.C.-Virginia recruiting area has beentapped with regularity by the Terps. In 1997, just23 players on the Maryland roster hailed fromeither Maryland, D.C. or Virginia, with six of thoseserving as opening-game starters. Since that time,however, numbers in both categories have risensteadily to their current level of more than half thecurrent roster. Below is a look at the trend:Md./D.C./Va. ‘98 ‘99 ‘00 ‘01 ‘02 ‘03 ‘04 ‘05Players on Roster 34 39 46 49 54 56 58 57Starters* 5 7 12 10 14 10 12 10*reflects number of starters in the season opener.

TOUGH LOSSES• Two weeks into August, the 2005 season had not

yet begun, and already the team suffered a num-ber of significant losses due to injury.

• Prior to spring ball, it was announced that TBJosh Allen would miss 2005 recovering from aknee injury suffered in the last game of 2004.Allen will enter 2006 sixth on the team’s all-timerushing touchdown list (21) and 11th on the careeryardage list (1,860).

• Just a week into fall camp, the team lost its topoffensive lineman, as left tackle Stephon Heyertore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.Heyer entered 2005 with 24 straight starts underhis belt, most on the offense.

• A day after Heyer’s injury, redshirt freshman LBErin Henderson also tore his ACL. Hendersonwas a backup at two linebacker spots and wasplaying well in addition to working with a numberof units on special teams.

IRON TERPS• Maryland’s strength numbers over the course of

the last five years have been off the charts. Thisseason, 30 players earned “Iron Terp” status, anhonor that is based on a player’s strength index(determined by a strength/weight formula). Thattotal is the second-highest in team history.

• Team averages in categories used to measureindex this season include an average bench pressof 337 pounds; an average squat of 516 pounds;an average clean of 295 pounds; and an averagevertical jump of 33-1/2 inches.

• Not only were new individual records set, but theteam as a whole improved dramatically, as 89percent of the players on this year’s team elevatedtheir personal bests in strength index. By com-parison, 72 percent had bettered their numbers in2004.

WWW.UM .COM

MARYLAND at NORTH CAROLINA • NOTES

• Vernon Davis’ strength feats were mentioned ear-lier in the release, but other notable accomplish-ments include QB Sam Hollenbach setting teamrecords in index (701), squat (600) and clean (320)and P Adam Podlesh posting a best-ever markfor a punter with a 315-pound clean a year aftersetting the record in the 40-yard dash (4.46).

• By the ranking system used at Maryland, TBMario Merrills is the team’s strongest playerpound-for-pound after setting a record strength in-dex for a running back with an 814.

LOCAL TIES• The Terrapins have six players who call the state

of North Carolina home: OG Russell Bonham(Winston-Salem/Carver HS); LB Chase Bullock(Durham/Northern HS); FB Matt Deese (Greens-boro/NE Guilford HS); LB William Kershaw(Raeford/Hoke County HS); DT Dennis Marsh(Browns Summit/NE Guilford HS); and DT DreMoore (Charlotte/Independence HS).

• On the Maryland coaching staff, offensive coordi-nator Charlie Taaffe was a graduate assistant atNC State in 1975 and defensive line coach DaveSollazzo was an assistant coach at Guilford Col-lege in 1988.

• North Carolina head coach John Bunting was a1968 prep graduate of Springbrook High School inSilver Spring. He was also a linebackers coachfor the Baltimore Stars of the USFL in 1984-85.

• UNC offensive coordinator and quarterbackscoach Gary Tranquill was Navy’s head coachfrom 1982-86 and an assistant at the academyfrom 1973-75. Wide receivers coach Dave Brockgraduated from Salisbury State (1994) and coachedthere from 1988-90 and ‘94-95.

ACC’S NEW LOOK• For the first time, the Atlantic Coast Conference

will be a 12-team league in 2005 and feature aconference championship game. The league issplit in two divisions with divisional champions

meeting in the inaugural ACC Championship gameon December 3rd in Jacksonville, Florida’s AlltelStadium.

• Maryland is in the ACC’s Atlantic Division alongwith first-year member Boston College, Clemson,Florida State, NC State and Wake Forest. TheCoastal Division features Duke, Georgia Tech,Miami, North Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Tech,last year’s league champion.

SCOUTING THE TAR HEELS• North Carolina is 4-4 this season (3-2 ACC) after

last weekend’s 16-14 victory over then 19th-rankedBoston College. Like Maryland, the Tar Heelshave three games left to win two and becomebowl-eligible.

• UNC has had a tough road this year to 4-4. Itsschedule is ranked as the third-toughest in thenation by USA Today’s Jeff Sagarin and the teamhas squared off against five ranked opponents inits eight games to date. The Tar Heels’ last fourgames have been against Top 25 competition andthe team is 2-2 in that stretch.

“ ”QuotingTHE FRIDGE

(On the off-week schedule) “We’ll take a look at where we areacademically and start preparation with thecoordinators on North Carolina. Our players willlift again on Wednesday and not have anymeetings. I think Thursday and Friday we’ll workout an hour or an hour and 15 minutes onmostly polishing and I’ll give them the weekendoff. We’ll get back on schedule on Monday.”

(On Sam Hollenbach’s availability) “His shoulder isn’t any more sore than it waslast week. He got hit in the back (against FSU).They think it’s muscular but we’re going to x-rayhim anyway to make sure it’s not his spine orvertebrae. We’re hoping he’ll be ready to go onThursday and be able to throw, because I thinkhe needs a lot of the timing work as much asanybody because he’s been out so long.”

(On the rest of the season) “We could win our last three games, be 7-4with the chance to win eight games... 8-4 wouldbe a good season. We could be 4-7, too. “I think this next game is a very big game forus, obviously. I still see us getting better as ateam. What I said (Saturday) night to theplayers and to the media was that I think we’re abetter team than 4-4. But we’ve got to go outand prove it... I’d be very disappointed if we

didn’t go out and play hard these next threegames. I really doubt that would happen.”

(On RB Lance Ball) “I thought he had a heck of a game. He madea couple mistakes, but he had sometremendous runs in that game. I think he hadeight broken tackles and the plays we blockedpretty well he had some big-gainers. Thought heplayed very hard. To me, he’s really developinginto a very good running back because he’sdoing it all. He’s not only running the ball verywell, but he’s a good pass receiver, good passblocker and doing the things we’re asking him todo.”

(On philosophy on the bye week) “The fact that we’re practing may upset somepeople. But I don’t think we’ve gotten our timingthe way it was before the last break, and I guessI’m really afraid if we don’t practice at all andthen we don’t have that timing, then I haven’tdone my job. I think at this time of the year, Idon’t think we need to bang on the kids a wholelot. We need to get our techniques down and beable to execute... “I think we need to get healed up a little bit.We’ve got some bumps and bruises. We needto go out, keep our conditioning and evensharpen up some things better than they are

and then get ready for these next threegames... “If I didn’t feel like we played hard (Saturday),then we might go out and practice all week. Ididn’t feel that at all. I thought we playedextremely hard... “Right now I think we could probably use sometime off, because we played two very toughteams and we played very hard in both of thosegames. (The players) probably need to getaway from it a little bit, get refreshed andhopefully make this run at the last three gamesand play as well as we possibly can.”

(On what he’s telling the team) “I told them I think we still have a chance to goto a good bowl. If we’re 7-4 we have a chance togo to a very good bowl. There are four teamsalready qualified from the league. I think theACC has six or seven bowls available to themright now. The way the ACC, we could havetrouble getting more than six teams to bequalified for bowls. If you look at it, we’re allabout .500, other than the top four. Whoever isgoing to finish strongest is going to get thechance to go to the bowl games. Right now,what we have to do is just worry about winningthe next game and we’ll see what happens afterthat. If we don’t win the next game, then ourbacks are really up against the wall.”

Maryland 59, North Carolina 21COLLEGE PARK, Md. — With five minutes remaining in the

first half, Maryland and North Carolina were tied. When Mary-land went to the locker room at halftime, the Terrapins used alightning strike over those last five minutes to take a 45-21 leadinto the break.

The Terps used that streak to go on to capture a Homecom-ing victory over the Tar Heels before a sellout crowd of 51,195,the fifth time in as many games Maryland had played before50,000 or more this season at Byrd Stadium.

Senior quarterback Scott McBrien threw for four touchdownsand ran for two others in the victory. McBrien, who played threequarters, finished with a career-high 349 yards passing on a15-for-25 day. Two of his touchdown throws went to LatrezHarrison, while he also found Josh Allen on a 43-yard TD passand Jo Jo Walker on a 67-yard scoring strike.

Maryland’s 39 points in the second quarter set an AtlanticCoast Conference record. The Terps rolled up 612 yards intotal offense, including 259 on the ground.

North Carolina led 7-3 when Nick Novak hit his second fieldgoal of the first quarter. UNC’s Mike Mason took the ensuingkickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, giving the Tar Heels a 14-6lead, despite having run only nine plays and holding the foot-ball less than four minutes.

Maryland responded when McBrien scored on a 6-yard run,then found Steve Suter for a two-point conversion to tie. ButUNC quarterback Darian Durant hit Chad Scott on a 52-yardscoring pass and the ‘Heels recaptured the lead at 21-14 with9:13 left in the second quarter.

From that point, the Terps scored the final 45 points of thecontest. Maryland scored on its first nine possessions of thegame and 10 of its first 11. The Terps turned two UNC turnoverslate in the second quarter into points, aiding in the 39-pointoutburst in the period.

Defensively, Maryland blanked the potent Tar Heels overthe final 2-1/2 quarters, led by eight-tackle days from DomoniqueFoxworth and D’Qwell Jackson.

Bruce Perry had his top game of the season in leading theTerrapin rushing game, finishing the first half with 96 yards on17 carries before leaving the game with an injury at halftime.

MARYLAND at NORTH CAROLINA • GAME RECAPS

BALTIMORE, Md. (AP) — Sam Hollenbach threw an 11-yard touchdownpass to Drew Weatherly with 61 seconds left, capping a frantic 82-yarddrive that carried Maryland past Navy in a game played at M&T BankStadium in Baltimore.

Hollenbach went 19-for-30 for 217 yards, and Mario Merrills ran for 149yards on 30 carries to help Maryland recover from an early 11-point deficitin the opener for both teams.

After a 6-yard touchdown run by Matt Hall gave Navy a 20-15 lead with4:43 left, Hollenbach brought the Terrapins back. The key play came justbefore the touchdown, when Lance Ball took a short pass on a fourth-and-8 from the Navy 31 and slipped several tackles during a 20-yard gain.

Hollenbach then fired the winning pass to Weatherly in the middle ofthe end zone before Merrills ran in the conversion.

A crowd of 67,809 nearly filled the Baltimore Ravens’ stadium for thefirst meeting between the teams since 1965.

Hollenbach, who won the starting job during spring practice, threwtwo early interceptions that allowed Navy to take a 14-3 lead. But he andMerrills got the Terrapins’ offense going in the second half, and Maryland’sdefense permitted only six points over the final three quarters.

Hall scored two touchdowns, and quarterback Lamar Owens ran for122 yards for the Midshipmen.

Midway through the third quarter, the Terrapins launched a 58-yarddrive that produced Dan Ennis’ third field goal, a 40-yarder that cut Navy’slead to 14-9 with 6 seconds left in the period. Merrills ran for 45 yards onsix carries during the march.

The Terrapins later had taken the lead for the first time, on a 12-yardrun by Merrills with 9:15 to go.

Owens ran for 80 yards and passed for 73 in the first half, and Navyscored touchdowns on its first two possessions in taking a 14-6 halftimelead.

After Ennis kicked a 26-yard field goal to cap a 66-yard opening drive,Navy answered with a 12-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 3-yardtouchdown run by Matt Hall. The Midshipmen converted four third downs,including a 37-yard pass from Owens to Jason Tomlinson on third-and-5 from the Navy 25.

The Terrapins’ next possession ended with an interception by Navylinebacker Jake Biles. The Midshipmen promptly moved 50 yards in sixplays, taking a 14-3 lead on a 7-yard run by Marco Nelson on the final playfrom scrimmage in the first quarter.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Reggie Merriweather scored his second touch-down on a 38-yard run with 2:58 remaining, capping a furious fourth-quarter rally that carried Clemson past Maryland.

Clemson (2-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 24-14 beforeCharlie Whitehurst’s second touchdown pass to Curtis Baham cut thedeficit to three points with 7:35 remaining.

After a punt by Maryland, Whitehurst directed a 61-yard drive thatconcluded on Merriweather’s winning carry around right end.

Whitehurst went 18-for-22 for 178 yards. With Clemson down by 10,he took the Tigers 86 yards in five plays, including a outstanding longpass to Baham that covered the final 51 yards.

Sam Hollenbach went 18-for-28 for 288 yards and two touchdowns forMaryland (1-1, 0-1). His main target was Vernon Davis, who had sixcatches for 140 yards and a touchdown.

Clemson took a 14-10 lead in the third quarter on a 6-yard touchdownpass from Whitehurst to Baham. The 63-yard drive followed an interceptionby Tye Hill and was aided by two personal foul calls against Maryland

The Terrapins came right back, using a 29-yard TD pass fromHollenbach to Davis to go up 17-14. The play capped an 80-yard drive inwhich Davis caught a 30-yarder on a third-and-7 from the Maryland 23.

After Clemson punted, Hollenbach deftly engineered a 63-yard drivein which he went 5-for-5 for 57 yards. After completing a 25-yard swingpass to tight end Dan Gronkowski on fourth-and-1 from the Clemson 31,Hollenbach averted pressure in the pocket and flipped a 3-yard TD passto Joey Haynos, the sophomore’s first career reception.

Hollenbach went 5-for-9 for 126 yards in the first half, helping Marylandtake a 10-7 lead.

Clemson appeared stopped on its opening possession whenWhitehurst fumbled a snap and inadvertently dropped to one knee on athird-and-3 from his 32. But Maryland was called for unsportsmanlikeconduct, giving the Tigers a first down.

Merriweather ultimately concluded the 17-play drive with a fourth-down touchdown run from the 1. The Tigers held the ball for 9 minutes,47 seconds - the longest drive in Clemson history.The Terrapins answered with a field goal, then took advantage of a Clemsonmiscue to take a 10-7 lead.

The Tigers were prepared to punt when the snap soared over the headof Cole Chason, who chased down the ball and was tackled on his 2. Onfourth down, Hollenbach scored on a sneak.

Hollenbach went 20-for-31 for 291 yards. Davis caught five passes for158 yards, but the Terrapins could muster only 50 yards rushing againsta defense that entered the game ranked No. 1 in the nation in yardsallowed (128.5).

Maryland 22, Wake Forest 12

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Josh Wilson returned a fumble20 yards for a touchdown to lead Maryland’s solid defensiveeffort in a win over Wake Forest.

Keon Lattimore ran for 76 yards and the only offensivetouchdown for the Terrapins (2-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Confer-ence), who continued their recent dominance against theDemon Deacons (1-3, 0-1). Maryland has won seven straightin the series.

Chris Barclay ran for 86 yards and a touchdown for WakeForest, which fell behind 13-0 in the first half and never recov-ered.

Wake Forest came into the game averaging better than270 yards rushing, tops in the conference and eighth-best inthe nation. Micah Andrews led the league and ranked fourthnationally at 153 yards per game, while Barclay was comingoff a 210-yard, four-touchdown game against East Carolina -part of a 407-yard rushing day for the Demon Deacons.

Meanwhile, the Terrapins came in rated last in the leaguein rushing defense after allowing West Virginia to run for 301yards in last week’s loss.

But things looked quite different Saturday for both teams,a welcome sight for the Terps.

Maryland allowed Wake Forest 111 yards rushing and244 total yards, while recovering two fumbles and holding theDemon Deacons to 5-for-19 on third-down conversions. Andexcept for Barclay’s 4-yard scoring run late in the third, WakeForest’s offense seemed out of rhythm all day.

Andrews, meanwhile, wasn’t a factor, finishing with sixcarries for 23 yards - all in the first half. He also had a costlyfumble when he was hit from behind while scrambling for yardsin the second quarter.

Wilson ran in and scooped up the loose ball in stride,racing down the left sideline for the touchdown and a 10-0lead with 4 minutes left in the half. The Terrapins increasedthat lead on Dan Ennis’ second field goal with 1:50 left, andled 13-3 at halftime after Sam Swank got the Demon Deaconson the board with a 42-yard kick on the final play of the half.

Wake Forest closed to within 16-10 on Barclay’s run, butgot no closer. The Terrapins responded two possessions laterwith a 77-yard touchdown drive, getting a 33-yard pass fromSam Hollenbach to Danny Melendez to set up Lattimore’s 3-yard run for a 22-10 lead with 13:19 left.

The Terrapins trailed 26-24 before a 44-yard pass from Hollenbachto Derrick Fenner set up a 14-yard touchdown run by Ball on the openingplay of the fourth quarter. Maryland then forced the Cavaliers to punt for thefirst time since early in the first quarter.

Virginia appeared poised to get the ball back, but a pass interferencecall on Marcus Hamilton on a third-and-8 from the Maryland 8 extendedthe drive, and Ball ran in from the 35 to end the 94-yard march and put theTerrapins up 38-26 with 8:44 to go.

Hagans scored on a 3-yard run to pull Virginia to 38-33, but Marylandclinched the win with an 80-yard drive that concluded with Keon Lattimore’ssecond touchdown run, a 1-yarder with 1:50 left.

Ball, who finished with 17 carries, ran for 93 yards in the first half tohelp Maryland take a 21-20 halftime lead.

After being intercepted on the Terrapins’ second possession,Hollenbach capped a 62-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass toMelendez. Hollenbach went 4-for-5 on the drive and also converted afourth-and-1 from the Virginia 43 with a quarterback sneak.

The Cavaliers scored two touchdowns in a 71-second span to goup 14-7. After Hagans ran for an 11-yard score to complete a drive in whichhe accounted for 62 of 69 yards, Cook got his first career interceptionreturn for a touchdown.

Lattimore tied it with a 9-yard TD run, but Hughes put Virginia backin front with a 43-yard field goal.

After Hollenbach went 5-for-5 for 62 yards on an 88-yard march thatended with a 24-yard TD pass to Vernon Davis, Hughes kicked a 39-yardfield goal to make it 21-20.

Virginia Tech 28, Maryland 9

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Marcus Vick ran for a career-high133 yards and a touchdown and a strong defensive perfor-mance from No. 3 Virginia Tech helped the unbeaten Hokiespull away in the second half for a 28-9 win in a Thursday Nightgame at Byrd Stadium.

Mike Imoh had two touchdowns for Virginia Tech (7-0, 4-0Atlantic Coast Conference), which scored 21 straight points afterhalftime to keep alive its hopes of playing for the nationalchampionship in January.The Terrapins (4-3, 2-2) came in with a three-game winningstreak.

Although he threw a career-high three interceptions - allin the third quarter - the little brother of Atlanta Falcons starMichael Vick rushed 16 times for 133 yards and completed 14of 23 passes for 211 yards.

His 8-yard touchdown run in the second quarter made it 7-0, and he directed scoring drives of 81, 99 and 37 yards in thesecond half.

That was more than enough support for a defense thatforced two turnovers and kept the Terrapins out of the end zoneuntil Sam Hollenbach threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to DerrickFenner with 2:16 to go.

Hollenbach was 14-of-30 for 158 yards and twointerceptions, and Lance Ball had 75 yards rushing on 15attempts.

The Terrapins wore their alternate black jerseys for thesecond time this season, hoping for the same result as the lasttime: a 45-33 victory over Virginia on Oct. 1.

The Hokies scored on their first possession of the thirdquarter to take a 14-3 lead. A 38-yard run by Vick got Tech to theMaryland 31, and five plays later Imoh scored from the 2.

The teams then traded interceptions before Marylandmissed a field goal attempt.

After the Terrapins failed to capitalize on Vick’s thirdinterception, a punt left Virginia Tech on its own 1. Ten playslater, Imoh ran in from the 10 to make it 21-3 with 10:45 left.

Branden Ore added a 4-yard TD run with 6:47 to go.Maryland threatened first, moving to the Tech 21 in the first

quarter before James Anderson intercepted Hollenbach at the12.

The Hokies ran only 11 plays and had minus-2 yardsrushing during a scoreless first period, the only quarter thisseason in which Virginia Tech has failed to score.

Vick finally got the offense moving on Tech’s thirdpossession. He began an 80-yard drive with an 18-yardcompletion to David Clowney, then added four runs for 43 yards,including a sprint around right end for a touchdown.

The next time Tech got the ball, Vick completed a 48-yardpass to Clowney to set up a first-and-goal at the 7. On fourthdown from the 1, Imoh lost possession of the ball while trying todive over the top and Maryland recovered - the first time thisseason Tech lost a fumble.

The Terrapins then moved 73 yards in 13 plays beforeEnnis kicked a 38-yard field goal and Maryland was within 7-3at halftime.

Florida State 35, Maryland 27

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Drew Weatherford and JamesColeman scored fourth-quarter touchdowns to lead No. 10Florida State to a come-from-behind victory over Maryland.

Weatherford’s 15-yard run with 8:52 left gave the Seminolesa 28-27 lead and they scored three minutes later on Coleman’s1-yard run. Coleman’s score was set up by Ernie Sims’interception.

Maryland’s final bid for a tie ended with 52 seconds left whenJoel Statham was sacked by A.J. Nicholson at the Florida State40.

The Seminoles avoided losing to the Terps for a secondstraight year.

Maryland (4-4, 2-3) scored 24 straight points midway throughthe game, building a 24-14 lead on Dan Ennis’ 40-yard fieldgoal three minutes into the second half.

But the Seminoles turned to their favorite weapon, freshmanwide receiver Greg Carr, to get back into the game.

The 6-foot-6 Carr caught a 37-yard pass to the Maryland 1and then, after two plays lost yards, he broke open in the endzone to snag a 4-yard scoring pass to cut Maryland’s lead to 24-21.

After Ennis kicked a 35-yard field goal to start the fourthquarter and give the Terrapins a 27-21 lead, Carr was againcenter stage.

Leon Washington scored on a 3-yard run on Florida State’sfirst offensive series and Willie Reid added a 61-yard punt returnTD to give the Seminoles a 14-0 lead in the opening minute ofthe second quarter.
