First-and Saturday, Oct Game Notes Maryland vs. Virginia (4-1, 0-1 ACC) (2-3, 0-1 ACC) Kickoff: 3:32 p.m. EDT Location: College Park, Md. Stadium: Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium (51,802) The Maryland football team returns to College Park for its ACC home opener on Saturday as the Terps play host to Virginia for 78th time in school history, the most among any opponent all-time. Kickoff is set for 3:32 p.m. from Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium. The Terps suffered their first loss of the season in Tallahassee on Saturday falling 63-0 to the sixth-ranked Florida State Seminoles. Despite the loss, Maryland s four wins through five games marks the team s best start since 2010 when the Terps also opened the season 4-1. That year, Maryland finished 9-4 and earned a spot in the Military Bowl. On Saturday, quarterback Caleb Rowe filled in admirably after starter C.J. Brown departed in the second quarter with a concussion. Rowe completed nine of his 17 pass attempts for 119 yards. The sophomore averaged 17.0 yards per completion and found wide receiver Nigel King for his long completion of the afternoon, a 26 yarder. Prior to his injury, Brown completed 6-of-14 passes for 82 yards including a 39-yard completion to wide receiver Deon Long. Brown, Rowe and the Maryland offense continued a season trend of attacking defenses downfield. Maryland s average completion went for 13.4 yards and on the season the Terps are averaging yards per completion, the 12th-highest total nationally. Long was the Terps top target against the Seminoles. The junior-college transfer hauled in three passes for a team-high 77 yards and was targeted multiple times down the field. Long was among eight different Terrapin receivers to catch a pass on Saturday. King and running back Brandon Ross each caught three passes for 46 and 17 yards, respectively. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who is averaging 21.2 yards per catch this season, caught two passes for 24 yards. Amongst receivers with 20 or more receptions, Diggs yards per catch average ranks fourth nationally and is on pace to set a sophomore season record (19.17 ypc) for Maryland and currently ranks as the second-highest single-season average all-time. Through the first four games of the season defensively, the Terps averaged 4.25 sacks per game and led the nation with 17 total sacks. On Saturday, the Terps added to that total as defensive lineman Andre Monroe recorded one sack against the Seminoles raising his season total to 3.5. Maryland now has three players with 3.0 sacks or more on the season. Linebacker Marcus Whitfield leads the group with 5.5 sacks. After Monroe s 3.5, fellow linebacker Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil has 3.0. In addition to his sack of Florida State quarterback, Jameis Winston, Monroe was a consistent presence in the Seminoles backfield totaling a game-high three tackles for loss, increasing his season total to six. The Terps still rank as one of the nation s top 25 defenses. Maryland is surrendering yards per game, which ranks fifth in the ACC and 22nd nationally. Defensive backs Sean Davis and Anthony Nixon were the team s top tacklers on Saturday. Davis finished with a career-best 12, nine of which were solo, while Nixon had a career-high 10 tackles. Linebacker Matt Robinson had seven solo tackles and one pass breakup. Robinson and linebacker L.A. Goree lead the Terps with 31 tackles on the season. Robinson has a team-best 21 solo tackles. Folliowing in the footsteps of Diggs from last season, defensive back William Likely has proven to be a dynamic threat on kickoffs for the Terps. Likely fielded four kicks for 73 yards on Saturday with the Seminoles choosing to kick away from the freshman on several occasions. Likely is averaging 28.6 yards per return, which ranks second in the ACC and 19th nationally. Likely s average is threatening the Maryland record books. His 28.6 average currently ranks second for a single season all-time and would break Diggs s freshman record of yards per return. Release as of Oct. 7

2 Quick Hitters University of Maryland Football Notes: vs. Virginia (Oct. 12) Despite being held scoreless at Florida State on Saturday, the Terps offense is still on pace to rank as one of the best in school history. The unit has totaled 2,228 yards of total offense through five games and scored 159 points.

The Terps are averaging 5.6 three-and-outs per game, which is tied for 15th nationally and has forced the opposing offense off the field in three plays or less in 40.0 percent of its defensive possessions, which is tied for the 16th-highest percentage nationally.

At UConn, Brown threw for 277 yards on 15-for-28 passing and one touchdown, and rushed for an ACC single-game season-high for a quarterback 122 yards and one touchdown. His 122 yards on the ground, is the seventh-best rushing performance by a quarterback in school history and Brown now holds five of the top 10 rushing performances by a quarterback in school history.

Prior to this season, a Terrapin quarterback had not achieved that mark since Shaun Hill threw for 323 yards and rushed for 105 yards against Duke on Oct. 20, For Brown, he threw for 281 yards and rushed for 105 against FIU (8/31) before throwing for 277 yards and rushing for 122 against Connecticut on Saturday. Against FIU, Brown completed 20-of-23 passes (.870), a single-game program record with a minimum of 20 attempts, for 281 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 105 yards and two scores. The five touchdowns Brown accounted for is most by a Maryland player since Scott McBrien accounted for six against North Carolina on Nov. 1, For his efforts, Brown was named College Football Performance s National Quarterback of the Week. Diggs continues to be a big play threat... After an electrifying freshman season, wide receiver Stefon Diggs has continued to provide the Maryland offense with a dynamic playmaking threat. The sophomore wideout ranks highly in several categories nationally and within the ACC. -- pg With 20 catches for 424 yards, Diggs ranks eighth in the ACC and ranks 41st nationally in receiving yards and ranks eigth in the conference and 37th nationally in receiving yards per game (84.8). Additionally, Diggs is averaging 21.2 yards per catch, which is tied for the lead in the ACC and is tied for fourth among receivers with 20 or more receptions nationally. All-Time Receiving Yardage (Maryland) Player Year Total 1. Jermaine Lewis , Torrey Smith , Darrius Heyward-Bey , Stefon Diggs ,272 Diggs has been quarterback C.J. Brown s go-to receiver this season as the sophomore has gone over 100 yards receiving in two of the last four games. Diggs is the first Maryland receiver to eclipse 100 yards receiving in consecutive weeks since Torrey Smith in Smith had 149 rec. yards at West Virginia (9/18) and 159 rec. yards against FIU (9/25). Diggs had a career-high 179 rec. yards against ODU (9/7) and had 110 at UConn on Saturday. Diggs 179 yards against the Panthers are the most by a Maryland receiver since Smith had 224 against NC State on Nov. 27, 2010, and the most in a game in the ACC this season. The 110-yard performance at Connecticut marked Diggs fifth career 100-yard receiving game. That total is the fifth-most among active players in the ACC. Clemson s Sammy Watkins leads the group with 10. Combined with his work on special teams, Diggs is averaging all-purpose yards per game, which ranks eighth in the ACC and 71st nationally. Disruptive D... Maryland s defense has not missed a beat so far this year after replacing six starters off of a unit that ranked 21st in total defense a year ago. The Terps are tied for third nationally in sacks (18) and their eight interceptions are tied for 15th nationally. In addition to the unit s pass rushing prowess, Maryland s defense has been adept at creating turnovers this season. The Terps have 13 total turnovers gained with eight interceptions and five fumble recoveries. That total is tied for third in the ACC and tied for 14th nationally. The six turnovers created against West Virginia are the most in a Maryland game since turning Georgia Tech over six times on Oct. 11, At UConn (9/14), the linebacking tandem of Marcus Whitfield and Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil combined for 5.5 sacks with the Terps totaling six as a team. The six sacks are the most by a Terrapin defense since equaling that number against Virginia on Oct. 1, 2005.

6 The Maryland defense did a terrific job of limiting the costliness of the Terrapin s three turnovers against UConn. The Huskies were only able to score three points off of the Maryland miscues. Against Old Dominion (9/7), the Terps held the Monarchs to their lowest point total since football was reinstated at the university in 2009 and held quarterback Taylor Heinicke, the 2012 Walter Payton Award winner, to a career-low 166 yards passing as a starter. Against FIU (8/31), defensive coordinator Brian Stewart s group held the Panthers to 171 total yards of offense marking the first time the Terps held an opponent under 200 yards since holding Wake Forest to 115 on Oct. 30, In addition, the Terps held the Panthers to just 91 yards rushing and 80 yards passing. The last time Maryland held its opponent under 100 yards in both categories came against Morgan State on Sept. 11, The Terps held the Bears to 37 yards rushing and 48 yards passing. The Terrapin defense held FIU to 2.3 yards per rushing attempt. Of the Panthers 15 rushing attempts in the first half, 11 of them went for three or less yards. The 10 points scored by the Panthers all came off of turnovers and of FIU s eight first-half possessions six of them ended with three-and-outs. Combined with the 175 yards of total offense from West Virginia, Maryland has now recorded two of the top-10 defensive performances in school history since the 2000 season. FIU s 171 total yards is the seventh-lowest total since 2000, while WVU s 175 total yards is the eighth-lowest total. FEWEST TOTAL YARDS, BY OPPONENT, SINCE 2000 Opponent Date Total 1.

The senior from Germantown, Md., doubled his career sack output with three at UConn (9/14). The three sack outburst is tied for the most by any player nationally this season in a single-game and his final sack of the contest resulted in Maryland s second safety of the season after Huskies quarterback Chandler Whitmer was called for intentional grounding in the end zone to avoid the on-coming Whitfield. For the season, Whitfield has 5.5 sacks, which is tied for third in the ACC and is tied for seventh nationally. Whitfield s counterpart, linebacker Yannik Cudjoe- Virgil finished with a career-best 2.5 sacks against the Huskies. He now has 3.0 on the season. The combination of Whitfield and Cudjoe-Virgil have combined for 8.5 sacks making them the top sack combo in the ACC. FIRST IMPRESSION... Wide receiver Deon Long made his debut with the Terps by catching nine passes for 110 yards and a touchdown against FIU. Long became the first Maryland receiver to go over 100 yards receiving since Stefon Diggs finished with 152 at Boston College on Oct. 27, Long s 110 yards receiving are the most yards for a Terrapin wide receiver in a season opener since Kevin Dorsey went for 124 yards agaisnt Miami on Sept. 5, In addition, Long is one of only four players to surpass 100 yards receiving in a season opener since Dorsey had 124 yards against Miami on Sept. 5, 2011, Geroy Simon had 124 at Duke on Sept. 3, 1994, and Frank Wycheck had 106 yards against Virginia Tech on Sept. 1, Walk-ons rewarded... On Aug. 25, head coach Randy Edsall announced that he would award four walk-ons scholarships for the academic year for their hard work, dedication and commitment to the football program. The four walk-ons that earned scholarships for the season are: redshirt freshman offensive lineman Michael Dunn, senior offensive lineman G.T. Harraka, senior defensive back Tony Perry and senior wide receiver Regis Whittington. That is something that is always very, very special to do and again knowing that those young men have worked extremely hard, said head coach Randy Edsall. Michael has earned himself a starting job, and the others have been in the program a number of years, working out there each and everyday, and to have the opportunity to do that is really special. TALENT at the skill positions... Unlike last season, where the Terps needed to replace their leading rusher and second-leading receiver, Maryland returns three of its top five rushers and its leading receiver in Stefon Diggs this fall. Brandon Ross and Albert Reid will be the Terps one-two punch in the backfield. Ross led all rushers with 390 yards on 85 carries with one touchdown. The sophomore from Newark, Del., excelled at the end of last season taking over the starting role for the final -- pg Maryland Preseason Honors Stefon Diggs, WR First Team All-ACC (WR) Second Team All-ACC (KR) All-Herbie Team (WR) First Team All-ACC (AP) Second Team All-ACC (WR) First Team All-ACC (WR) Second Team All-ACC (KR) Third Team All-America (WR) Second Team All-America (KR) Cole Farrand, LB Second Team All-ACC Deon Long, WR Fourth Team All-ACC Brandon Ross, RB Third Team All-ACC Athlon Athlon ESPN Lindy s Lindy s Phil Steele Preview Phil Steele Preview Phil Steele Preview Sports Illustrated Lindy s Phil Steele Preview Lindy s Pronunciation Guide Player De Onte Arnett Tyrek Cheeseboro Tyler Cierski Undray Clark Tejiri Erhie Amba Etta-Tawo Cole Farrand L.A.

After totaling 100 yards against Clemson on Nov. 10, Ross rushed for a season-high 141 yards at North Carolina (11/24). Ross solidified his hold on the starting spot with an impressive spring camp that included a 122-yard performance in the spring game. Reid began last season as the starter and also enjoyed a solid spring and rushed for 135 yards in the spring game. Joe Riddle and Jacquille Veii will push for time and add competitiveness to the position. Riddle redshirted the 2012 season, while Veii was impressive in preseason camp. So far this season, Ross leads the team with 331 yards rushing. The sophomore ran for a career-high 149 yards and a touchdown. His rushing total is tied for the sixth-most in a game in the ACC this season

7 and is his third career 100-yard rushing game. After a record-setting freshman campaign, Diggs continues to be a play-making threat at wide receiver. Diggs set a single-season ACC freshman record for all-purpose yards per game last season, averaging 172.4, a number that ranked eighth nationally. The six-foot, 195-pound wideout also finished with 848 yards receiving, a single-season Maryland record and the third most by a ACC rookie all-time. Diggs also hauled in 54 receptions and six touchdowns, a Maryland single-season freshman record. The addition of five-star recruit and junior-college transfer Deon Long will bolster the unit. Long, who spent last season at Iowa Western, earned first team All-America honors while leading the NJCAA in receptions (100), receiving yards (1,625) and touchdowns (25). Long has led the Terps in receiving in three games this season with a season-high 110 yards and one score in his Terrapin debut against FIU (8/31) and totaled a team-best 98 yards against West Virginia (9/21). Nigel King, who appeared in all 12 games and started three of the final four, provides a big, physical prescence to the receiving corp. King finished with nine catches for 129 yards and a touchdown last season. He recorded a season-high four catches for 72 yards in the season finale at North Carolina. Levern Jacobs received extensive work with the first-team offense during preseason camp and is third on the team with 140 yards receiving. Jacobs appeared in 11 games last season and totaled 50 yards on seven receptions. Special teams standout Tyrek Cheeseboro along with Amba Etta-Tawo and Malcolm Culmer will compete for playing time along with highly-touted freshman Taivon Jacobs. Two-year starter Tyler Cierski returns at fullback. The 255-pound junior saw action in 11 games, seeing time on special teams as well. Redshirt freshman Kenneth Goins and freshman Andrew Stefanelli will back up Cierski. BROWN BACK UNDER CENTER... After missing last season with a knee injury sustained in preseason camp, senior C.J. Brown is back under center for the Terps. A dual-threat quarterback, Brown set a Maryland single-season rushing record (574) for a quarterback and threw for 842 yards in 10 games (five starts). Entering the season, Brown boasted four of the top 10 rushing performances by a quarterback in school history including his recordsetting 162-yard performance against Clemson on October 15, While sitting out with the ACL injury, Brown spent last season learning offensive coordinator Mike Locksley s system, which provided a different perspective. It was good to be able to step back from the game and kind of see things from a different angle, a different perspective, and have a better appreciation for the game as well as developing more knowledge of the offense, said Brown. After suffering the second season-ending injury of his career prior to last season, Brown applied for and was awarded with a sixth year of eligibility in April. Brown redshirted in 2009 before playing in one game in 2010, when he fractured his right shoulder and missed the season s final 11 games. He will have eligibility for the 2013 and 2014 seasons. Behind Brown, the Terps have a number of able signal-callers. Sophomores Perry Hills and Caleb Rowe both gained experience last season, with Hills starting the first seven games and throwing for 1,336 yards before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Rowe played in two games, including a start at Boston College, before also suffering a season-ending knee injury. Transfer Ricardo Young gives the Terps another dual-threat and gained experience while serving as the No. 1 QB during spring camp. Young was the 2010 Washington D.C. Gatorade Player of the Year out coming out of H.D. Woodson High School, but has yet to take a snap in college after stops at Virginia Tech (2010) and New Mexico (2011). YOUTH IS SERVED AT tight end... The tight end position features several new faces after the departure of three seniors last season. Dave Stinebaugh is the veteran of the group. Though a senior, Stienbaugh has missed the majority of the last three seasons due to knee and shoulder injuries. In 2012, Stinebaugh appeared in 11 of 12 games mostly on special teams and is atop the two-deep this season. Four freshmen are fighting for playing time behind Stinebaugh with P.J. Gallo earning the nod on the depth chart. Andrew Isaacs, a two-time all-state and all-conferece selection, provides an imposing target and will compete with Derrick Hayward, Brian McMahon and Eric Roca for playing time. consistency on the o-line... The Terps utilized four different starting rotations along the offensive line in 2012, but the same group has remained in tact through the opening four games this season. Mike Madaras, De Onte Arnett, Sal Conaboy, Michael Dunn and Ryan Doyle have started all five games. As a result of last season s shuffling, Maryland entered the season with six players who have starting experience including returning starters Madaras, Arnett and Conaboy. Joining them on the two-deep is center Evan Mulrooney and right guard Andrew Zeller. As a group, the returnees entered the season with 38 starts combined.

8 camp, head coach Randy Edsall strived to find the five best players regardless of position. As a result, Doyle moved to the right side of the line and to start at right tackle, and is joined on the right side by Dunn at right guard. Junior Jake Wheeler is penciled in at left tackle behind Madaras, while junior-college transfer Silvano Altamirano slides in behind behind Arnett. Mulrooney will slot in behind Conaboy at center with Zeller backing up Dunn at right guard and freshman Moise Larose backing up Doyle at right tackle. NEW LOOK d-line... Maryland had to replace two stalwarts along the defensive line after the graduation of All-American Joe Vellano and A.J. Francis, a pair which combined to start 72 games in their careers. Junior nose tackle Darius Kilgo, the lone returning starter, has had a solid season so far. After a solid season in 2012, he has stepped into a leadership position, representing the defensive line on Maryland s newly-formed leadership council. After battling injuries last season, junior Keith Bowers hopes to return to his 2011 form, when he was an honorable mention freshman All- America selection. Sophomore Quinton Jefferson, one of the top defensive end prospects nationally coming out of high school, secured the other end position after an impressive spring. Jefferson is backed up by Roman Braglio. Behind Kilgo, Andre Monroe provides depth, while Zeke Riser is listed as the backup behind Bowers. Revamped Linebacking corps... Similar to the defensive line, Maryland was faced with replacing several stalwarts in the linebacking corps. Perhaps one of the deepest positions on the team, the Terps have a first and second unit established despite the loss of Demetrius Hartsfield, Kenneth Tate and Darin Drakeford. On the inside, Cole Farrand and L.A. Goree give Maryland a pair of established veterans to help direct the unit. Farrand tied for the team lead in tackles as a sophomore last season, his first as a starter, while making six tackles for loss and forcing three fumbles. Goree was one of the most consistent players on defense during the stretch last year. He totaled double-digit tackles in the final three games including a careerbest 14 against North Carolina and averaged 12.3 tackles per game in his three starts. Behind Farrand is sophomore Shawn Petty, who has moved back to his natural position after starting the final four games at quarterback last season. Redshirt freshman and former four-star recruit Abner Logan will be ready to step in behind Goree. Converted safety Matt Robinson, healthy after battling injuries in each of the last two seasons, solidified one of the outside linebacker positions with a strong fall camp with depth provided by Alex Twine. Senior Marcus Whitfield starts at the other outside spot and has blossomed into one of the nation s elite pass rushers. He has a team-best 5.5 sacks this season. Behind him is Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil. The transfer from Seton Hall University impressed the coaching staff during fall camp with his high motor and quickness off of the edge and has three sacks on the season. EXPERIENCEd secondary... The secondary should have been one of Maryland s most stable units as it returned cornerbacks Dexter McDougle and Jeremiah Johnson, and safeties Anthony Nixon, Sean Davis and A.J. Hendy. Maryland ranked 30th nationally in passing defense a year ago, allowing just yards per game through the air, third best in the ACC. But with injuries to McDougle and Johnson, the unit has turned to talented freshman William Likely and senior Isaac Goins on the outside. Likely, who enrolled in classes in January, impressed in spring practice and throughout preseason camp. Goins has stepped in for the injured McDougle and picked off his first career pass against ODU (9/14). Last season, Johnson had a team-high eight pass breakups, a total which tied for 18th in the ACC. Last year, Nixon played in all 12 games with five starts and led all freshmen on the team with 41 tackles including 26 solo stops. The Pittsburgh native also had one interception, three passes defended and two fumble recoveries and will start opposite of Davis, who edged out Hendy in preseason camp for the starting spot. Davis played in all 12 games with two starts as a true freshman last year. Hendy was somewhat limited last season due to a nagging ankle injury, but played in nine games as a freshman in 2011 and averaged 8.3 tackles per game in his three starts. The 205-pound junior will still see significant playing time particularly in dime package and on special teams. Sophomore Undray Clark will be in the mix behind Nixon. special teams REPEAT... After entering last season with few known quantities, the Terps return all their special teams performers from 2012, along with the addition of several new playmakers, creating more stability in the unit in Rising sophomores Brad Craddock and Nathan Renfro anchor the kicking game, with Craddock handling kickoff and place-kicking duties and Renfro handling the punting. Craddock a season-long 50 yard field goal against West Virginia (9/21). Stefon Diggs was a constant threat in the return game last season, returning two kickoffs for touchdowns and averaging 10 yards per return on punts. Freshman William Likely adds another speedy option to the return game. All-PURPOSE performer... Stefon Diggs had a record-breaking freshman -- pg Terps in the NFL Heading into week six of the NFL season, Maryland had 21 former players on NFL rosters. Below is the list. Player Pos.

Mike Locksley was hired in December 2011 as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Locksley, a native of Washington, D.C., returned to Maryland after previously spending six years ( ) as an assistant coach on the Terrapins staff.

9 A veteran coach with over 20 years experience, Locksley most recently spent four years ( ) as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the University of Illinois and two-plus years ( ) as head coach at the University of New Mexico. Locksley helped the Fighting Illini offense improve from No. 86 nationally in total offense (338.1 yards per game) in 2005 to No. 19 (438.3 yards per game) in The Illinois offense ranked in the top 10 nationally (No. 10 in 2006; No. 5 in 2007) in rushing yards. Known for strong recruiting skills, Locksley was listed as a top-25 recruiter in the nation three different times (2003, 2005, 2006) and was a finalist for 2007 recruiter of the year by Rivals.com. Brian Stewart was hired in January 2012 as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach. In his first season in College Park, Stewart s unit improved 87 spots in the national rankings for total defense, moving from No. 108 in 2011 to No. 21 in In addition, the Terrapin defense finished the 2012 season ranked third in total defense in the ACC. A former NFL defensive coordinator, Stewart recently completed a successful two-year stint with the Houston Cougars, who ended 2011 with a 13-1 record and a No. 14 ranking in the final USA Today poll. The Cougars had one of the best defenses in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 2011, ranking in the top 15 in five categories: red-zone scoring (second 67 percent), interceptions (t-third 21), tackles for loss (sixth 7.7 per game), turnovers gained (t-10th 31) and opponent passing efficiency (12th rating). Houston also improved from 96th nationally in scoring defense (32.2 points per game) in 2010 to 35th (22.4) this past year. Stewart went to Houston after an eight-year run as an NFL assistant, including two years ( ) as the defensive coordinator with Dallas. Andre Powell is in his second season as specialteams coordinator, in addition to his running back chores. Powell was a special-teams coordinator during each of his last two stops Clemson ( ) and North Carolina ( ). He handled both running backs and special-teams duties the final three seasons at each job. Defensive line coach Greg Gattuso was elevated to assistant head coach prior to last season. The former head coach of Duquesne ( ), Gattuso spent six seasons ( ) as the defensive line coach at Pittsburgh. Two of Gattuso s recent pupils, A.J. Francis and Joe Vellano, signed with the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots, respectively, in The rest of the staff remains in tact, with Tom Brattan entering his 13th season coaching the offensive line, Lyndon Johnson entering his third year on staff and second overseeing both outside linebacker positions (Sam and Will), while Lee Hull entering his sixth season coaching the wide receivers, Keith Dudzinski entering his third year coaching the inside linebackers and John Dunn entering his third year coaching the tight ends and serving as the recruiting coordinator. TERPS establish leadership council... This offseason, Maryland established a leadership council for the 2013 season. Eleven players were selected to the council by the coaches representing 10 position groups based upon performance on the field, in the film room and overall leadership ability. The council is: senior C.J. Brown (quarterback), junior Sal Conaboy (offensive line), junior Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil (outside linebacker), sophomore Stefon Diggs (wide receiver), junior Cole Farrand (inside linebacker), senior Issac Goins (defensive back), junior Jeremiah Johnson (defensive back), junior Darius Kilgo (defensive line), senior Greg Parcher (specialist), sophomore Albert Reid (running back) and senior Dave Stinebaugh (tight end). -- pg. 9 --

15 Randy Edsall enters his third season as head football coach at the University of Maryland, leading a program that continues to make great strides both on and off the field. Edsall was named the 34th coach in Maryland football history in January Since taking over, Edsall and his staff have placed a great emphasis on recruiting the local Maryland/Washington, D.C. market which is heavily recruited by schools across the nation and is considered a football hotbed. The result of this focus was the signing of 22 athletes, 14 from the area. Edsall and his staff have recruited classes ranked in the top 35 nationally by Rivals the last two years, including the 31st overall in In addition, under Edsall s command and following a pattern he started at the University of Connecticut, the football program s Athletic Progress Rate (APR) moved significantly upward after a five year decline. The football team s APR, which measures eligibility and retention, increased its multi-year score from 922 ( ) to 937and its single year score from 905 to 948. The football team s cumulative GPA has risen each semester since Edsall took over the program. The Maryland program continued to improve in 2012, a year in which they played 15 true freshmen (third most in the Football Bowl Subdivision). The defensive unit finished the season ranked second in the ACC and 21st in the nation in total defense (336.8 ypg), second in the ACC and 26th nationally against the run (129.3 ypg) and third in the ACC and 32nd nationally in pass defense (207.5 ypg). The Terrapins also held five of their opponents under 100 rushing yards. On the offensive side of the ball, injuries forced the Terrapins to play four different quarterbacks, including three true freshmen and a converted linebacker. Edsall and his staff utilized the talents of a young group of offensive standouts. True freshman Stefon Diggs led the team with 54 receptions for 848 yards (15.7 ypc), the most ever by a Maryland freshman. Diggs also caught six touchdowns and was named ACC Rookie of the Week three times. Maryland also rotated carries among a talented group of backs, with four different players earning a start. Redshirt freshman Brandon Ross set career highs, rushing for at least 100 yards in two of the final three games, including 141 yards in the final contest at North Carolina. Prior to coming to College Park, Edsall, a native of nearby Glen Rock, Pa, spent twelve seasons coaching the University of Connecticut Huskies where he took the program from FCS (formerly I-AA) to five bowl games, including a BCS bowl. The 2010 Big East Coach of the Year led the Huskies to a record Randy Edsall Head Coach Syracuse 80 Third Year over his last four seasons there, including two bowl victories and his leadership resulted in UConn being the first program ever to go from FBS newcomer to BCS bowl participant in just seven seasons. Edsall departed UConn as the school s all-time leader in career wins (74) and most games coached (144). He was a two-time recipient of the prestigious Bowl Championship Division Head Coach of the Year in New England by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston (2007, 2010). During his tenure at UConn, the Huskies finished in the top twenty nationally for total offense twice (2003, 2004) and total defense three times (2002, 200r5, 2008). Under Edsall s guidance Connecticut defeated teams from the ACC, Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, Conference USA and the SEC. In 2007, as Edsall continued to grow the program to prominence, the Huskies earned their first-ever national rankings peaking at #13 in the BCS standings in November. That year they became just the second Big East team ever to go 7-0 at home and defeat three teams at home that were ranked in the top ten during the season. Off the field, just as he is doing at Maryland, Edsall s teams were strong in the classroom as well. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 UConn was recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for its high graduation rate. In 2003 UConn was the only public Division I-A school to graduate at least 90% of its football players and in 2005, it was one of only eight schools to both graduate 70% and win a bowl game. When Edsall was named the head coach at Connecticut on December 21, 1998 he brought 19 years of coaching experience with him. He earned the job at Connecticut after a year as the defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech where the 14th ranked Yellow Jackets went 9-2. Prior to his season at Georgia Tech Edsall spend three seasons under two-time Super Bowl Champion coach Tom Coughlin as the secondary coach for the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars. During his time in Jacksonville the expansion Jaguars reached the playoffs twice, including a berth in the 1996 AFC Championship Game. Edsall began his coaching career in 1980 at his alma mater, Syracuse University. The former quarterback at Syracuse started as a graduate assistant ( ) before joining the staff in 1983 overseeing the running backs under head coach Dick MacPherson. Edsall oversaw the running backs for three years ( and 1986) and oversaw the tight ends in 1985 before making the switch to defense.
