By THE Numbers

0.5 - Junior defensive end Yannick Ngakoue needs just a half sack to tie Maryland's single-season sacks record (13.0), set by Mark Duda (1982) and Bruce Palmer (1978). He currently ranks second in the nation with 12.5 total sacks after posting 1.5 sacks at #14 Michigan State.

1 - Maryland has played the toughest schedule in the country this season, facing teams with a combined record of 60-17 (78%). Five of the Terps' last six opponents are currently ranked in the Associated Press poll, with three of its last five currently in the top-10.

8 - Junior utility man William Likely has done it all during his career at Maryland, including making a start on both sides of the ball against Wisconsin. He has eight career touchdowns (4 punt return, 2 kick return, 2 interception return), and nearly had his first career receiving touchdown at Michigan State before he was ruled down at the one-yard line after an official review.

200 - The Terrapin defense has not allowed an opposing quarterback to throw for 200 yards in three straight games, all of which were against opponents currently in the AP top-25. Maryland has not allowed a 100-yard rusher since Ezekiel Elliott ran for 106 yards for #1 Ohio State on Oct. 10.

361 - Maryland totaled a 2014 season-high 361 passing yards in its 37-15 victory at Indiana last season, including a pair of 100-yard receiving performances from Stefon Diggs and Deon Long. The Hoosiers are allowing an FCS-high 341 passing yards per game.

A LIKELY STORY

After standout freshman and sophomore seasons in College Park, many wondered what junior cornerback and return specialist William Likely would do for an encore as a junior in 2015. The short answer is everything, including making a start on both offense and defense against Wisconsin. He started the season with a bang, gobbling up a Big Ten record 233 punt return yards in the season-opener against Richmond before running back his second punt return for a touchdown in as many weeks against Bowling Green. In 2015, he has twice been named Big Ten Specialist of the Week (Week 1, Week 9) and Paul Hornung Honor Roll (Week 1, Week 3). Likely has the top-2 single-game kickoff return yardage marks in school history, including a 220-yard performance at #10 Iowa that included a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Likely's Maryland Records:

• Single-game punt return yards (233 vs. Richmond, 9/5/15) - also a Big Ten record
• Single-season interception return yards (170 - 2014)
• Single-season interceptions returned for TD (2 - 2014)
• Single-game kickoff return yards (228 vs. Michigan State, 11/15/14)
• Co-single-season yards per kick return (31.0, 2014)
• Co-longest kickoff return (100 yds vs. Stanford, 12/30/14)
• Current career yards per kickoff return (26.3, 2013-pres.)
