Postgame Notes: Maryland 47, Old Dominion 10

Postgame notes following Maryland's 47-10 win over Old Dominion.


Kicking It Off: Maryland improved to 2-0 on the season with a 47-10 victory over Old Dominion in its first all-time meeting with the Monarchs. It is the third time in the last four seasons that the Terps have started the season 2-0.

Offense Continues to Roll: After posting 576 yards in the season opener against FIU, Maryland racked up 587 yards of total offense. It is the first time Maryland has totaled over 500 yards of offense in back-to-back games since at least the 1998 season. The Terps' 47 points are the most points scored by Maryland since it posted 51 against East Carolina in the Military Bowl (12/29/10).

In addition, for the first time in program history, Maryland scored over 40 points in its first two games of the season.

Stingy Defense: The Terrapin defense held Old Dominion to 10 points, the lowest output by the Monarchs' offense since at least the 2008 season. Its three interceptions marked the first time the Terrapins had three picks in a game since Nov. 7, 2009, against NC State.

Brown Under Center: After accounting for five touchdowns last weekend, C.J. Brown followed up that performance with two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. The senior quarterback passed for 275 yards and rushed for 30. For his career, Brown has accounted for 21 touchdowns, which is tied for 21st all-time.

Ross on the Board:  Brandon Ross scored his second career touchdown on Maryland's second possession of the game capping a seven play, 77-yard drive. On the march, Ross carried the ball four times for 49 yards.

One-Two Punch: After being held to 30 rushing yards in the opener, Ross rushed for a career-best 149 yards and one score. Ross came one yard short of becoming the first Maryland player to rush for 150 yards since C.J. Brown ran for 162 at Clemson (10/15/11). Albert Reid also got into the mix on Saturday rushing for a career-high 56 yards and his first career touchdown. Reid's 27-yard touchdown run was a career long.  

Diggs on the Day: Stefon Diggs starred on the outside for the Terps. Diggs caught six passes for a personal-best 179 yards including a 41-yard sprint down the sidelines for a touchdown. Diggs now has 1,125 career receiving yards, which ranks 21st all-time in school history.

With his 12 yards rushing, Diggs now has 2,281 career all-purpose yards moving him to 24th all-time in Maryland history.

A Trio of Firsts: Isaac Goins' interception on the opening possession of the game, Sean Davis' pick late in the first quarter, and Yannick Ngakoue's third-and-goal interception early in the second quarter are career firsts for all three players. The first turnover set up Maryland's opening score of the game, a 32-yard field goal from Brad Craddock, and Davis' interception set up a five-yard touchdown run by C.J. Brown.

Defensive Notes: Almost a year after recording a safety at Temple (9/8/12), Darius Kilgo recorded a safety early in the fourth quarter … the Terps' had four sacks with Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil, L.A. Goree, Andre Monroe and Marcus Whitfield all with one … William Likely led the team in tackles with a personal-best 11, nine solo … Matt Robinson had eight tackles and led the team with tackles for a loss.
