THIS WEEKEND'S STORYLINES

Johnson is only 10 yards behind former Maryland WR Stefon Diggs for third all-time in all-purpose yards with 4,106.

Junior safety Darnell Savage Jr. has posted four interceptions this season, which is tied with seven other players for the most in the country. Savage Jr. had two interceptions last week against Rutgers and one against No. 15 Michigan and Temple.
