GREENSBORO, N.C. -
Freshman wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey and senior cornerback Josh Wilson were honored Monday as ACC players of the week for their performance in the Terps' 14-13 win over Miami.
Heyward-Bey caught five passes for a career-high 165 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 14-13 win over Miami. The Silver Spring, Md., native teamed with quarterback Sam Hollenbach on touchdown receptions of 65 and 96 yards in the first half as the Terps built a 14-0 lead. The 96 yard reception ties for the longest pass play of the season nationally and broke a school record set in 1949.
Wilson was named Defensive Back of the Week after his game-high five pass breakups in Saturday's 14-13 win over visiting Miami. The Upper Marlboro, Md., product also had four tackles against the Hurricanes as the Terps extended their winning streak to five in a row with the win.
Maryland looks for its sixth straight win this Saturday at Boston College. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. on ESPN.
