Maryland honored Jordan McNair with its first play, leaving an open spot for him on the offensive line.   

Terps line up with 10 men on the first play. Classy gesture from Texas to decline the delay of game.#JM79 pic.twitter.com/a4VHfYwR33

Jordan's close friend and teammate Ellis McKennie brought #79 with him on the field to celebrate the win

True Freshman Jeshaun Jones is in good company after starting his career with a bang.   

Maryland's Jeshaun Jones is in rare air...

Last Instance of Pass TD, Rush TD, Rec TD in Same Game ...

By Wide receiver - Pharoh Cooper (2014)

By Freshman - Marcus Mariota (2012)

vs Texas - Joey Harrington (2000)

Former Terp wide receiver Torrey Smith was impressed with what he saw out of Jones

I bet no player in the history of college football has thrown a td, caught a td, and rushed for a td on their first 3 touches in their first game 😳 Jones 🔥🔥🔥🔥

...And so was DJ Moore

My young @JeshaunJones06 really going off today 💫💫

Let's not forget about the defense -- Jermaine Carter & Cameron Chism didn't!
