• QB Taulia Tagovailoa has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the country. Last week against #2 Ohio State (11/19), Tagovailoa put forth one of the best outings of his career, breaking the Maryland passing yards record in the process, passing Scott Milanovich (1992-95) on a 49-yard pass to Rakim Jarrett in the fourth quarter to now have 7,316 career yards.
• Tagovailoa is one of two current FBS QBs who holds his school's career passing yards record despite playing only three seasons (or fewer) at that school. The other is Mississippi State's Will Rogers, who broke Dak Prescott's school career passing yards record earlier this year (Note via Press Box Live).
• The Ewa Beach, HI native also tied Milanovich for the all-time program passing touchdown record with 49 and can take sole possession of the record with one passing touchdown against Rutgers. Tagovailoa also stands first all-time in program history in 300-yard passing games (11), career completion percentage (68.0), passing efficiency (148.1) and total offense (7,503).  With 30 completions against Rutgers, Tagovailoa will also pass Milanovich for the school's completions record.
• Tagovailoa has thrown for 3,935 yards in the 13 home games he's played for the Terrapins (302.7 yards per game). He is one of only three Big Ten quarterbacks in the past 25 years to average more than 300.0 passing yards at home, with a minimum of 10 games, joining Ohio State's C.J. Stroud (317.8) and Purdue's Drew Brees (314.2).
• Tagovailoa's 68.1 career completion percentage (including Alabama) is currently seventh among all active FBS quarterbacks, trailing only Mississippi State's Will Rogers (70.9), Coastal Carolina's Grayson McCall (70.4), Ohio State's CJ Stroud (69.7), Missouri's Jack Abraham (69.0), South Carolina's Spencer Rattler (69.0) and  Fresno State's Jake Haenar (68.5). He also stands 14th among all FBS quarterbacks in career completions per game (19.69), 15th in passing yards per game (231.8) and 24th in passing efficiency (148.1).

• Maryland has had one or fewer turnovers in each of their last seven games, their longest streak in the last 25 years.
• The Terps have been one of the best teams in the nation in the red area, scoring on 35-of-38 of their trips to the opponent's 20-yard line, the 11th-best red zone percentage in the nation (92.1). Maryland has scored touchdowns on 29 of those 35 scores, good for 76.3-percent of their red zone scores, the sixth-highest percentage in the country (Mississippi State, Ohio State, Charlotte, Tennessee & Penn State).

• Maryland will honor 19 seniors on Senior Day this weekend as the Class of 2023 plays their last game in SECU Stadium this weekend against Rutgers. OL Spencer Anderson, DL Tyler Baylor, DB Owura Berko, DL Henry Chibueze, WR Jacob Copeland, LB VanDarius Cowan, OL Jaelyn Duncan, DL Austin Fontaine, LB Fa'Najae Gotay, DB Isaiah Hazel, WR Jeshaun Jones, DL Mosiah Nasili-Kite, LB Ahmad McCullough, LB Durell Nchami, P Anthony Pecorella, K Chad Ryland, LB Alex Simet, P Colton Spangler and LB Kobi Thomas will all be recognized.

• RB Roman Hemby has been one of the best running backs in the nation through 11 games, standing 26th in the nation and fourth in the Big Ten with 5.89 yards per carry (854 yards on 145 carries).
• Hemby stands second among all FBS freshmen in yards from scrimmage with 1,130 (854 rushing, 276 receiving), only trailing Ole Miss' Quinshon Judkins (1,495). Against SMU (9/17), Hemby became the first Terrapin in the last 25 years to have 150+ rushing yards and 50+ receiving in a game (151 rushing, 62 receiving).
• Hemby has accounted for 25.9 percent of the team's scrimmage yards this season (rushing and receiving), the highest percentage by any freshman in the FBS.
•  Hemby has four rushes over 40 yards this season, tied for the seventh-most in the nation and second-most in the Big Ten (Nicholas Singleton, Penn State). His two rushes over 70 yards is tied with seven other players for the most in the FBS.
• The Edgewood, MD native has rushed for 100 yards in four of Maryland's six wins (114 vs. Buffalo, 151 vs. SMU, 107 at Indiana & 179 vs. Northwestern), already tied with Anthony McFarland Jr. for the most in a single season of any freshman in Maryland history. He is the first Terp ever to earn multiple Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors (9/19 & 10/24) and leads all Big Ten freshmen in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.
• Hemby has played a huge role in each of Maryland's last two wins, scoring the winning touchdown in each game, a six-yard run to put the Terps up 31-27 with 5:35 left at Indiana (10/15) and a 75-yard run with the game tied and 3:22 on the clock vs. Northwestern (10/22). Against Northwestern, he was the first Terp with three rushing touchdowns in a game since 2018 and is the first Maryland player to rush for 179 yards since Jake Funk had 180 against Rutgers in 2020.

• Last season, in a matchup of two 5-6 teams with the winner becoming bowl eligible, the Terps went to Piscataway in the regular season finale and dominated Rutgers, winning 40-16. QB Taulia Tagovailoa broke the Maryland single-season passing yardage record in the game, throwing for 312 yards on 21-of-30 with three passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Two of those touchdowns went to Corey Dyches for 25 and 11 yards -- his first-career multi-score game. WR Rakim Jarrett finished with a team-high seven catches for 111 yards - his third 100-yard game this season.  LB Ruben Hyppolite II and CB Tarheeb Still led Maryland seven tackles apiece.
•  Maryland has averaged 264.8 rushing yards per game against Rutgers since the two schools joined the Big Ten in 2014, the fourth-most by any Big Ten team against a single opponent over that time (minimum 5 games) behind Wisconsin against Nebraska (310.1), Wisconsin against Purdue (266.5) and Ohio State against Rutgers (266.1) (Note via Press Box Live).
• Maryland has averaged 35.6 points per game against Rutgers in eight meetings since the Terps and Scarlet Knights joined the Big Ten in 2014, six times scoring over 30 points, three times scoring over 40 points and never scoring fewer than 24.
