BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Postgame notes following Maryland's 37-15 victory over Indiana.
Kicking It Off: Maryland won its Big Ten opener Saturday at Memorial Stadium with a 37-15 victory over Indiana. The Terps improved to 4-1 and 1-0 in the Big Ten, while the Hoosiers fell to 2-2 and 0-1 in the conference. It marked Maryland’s fifth straight road victory dating back to the 2013 season and its first win over Indiana all-time. The Hoosiers had won the first two all-time meetings in 1934 and 1935.
C.J. Under Center: Quarterback C.J. Brown’s five-yard touchdown run was the 22nd of his career, which is the seventh-highest total in school history, and his 29-yard touchdown pass was his 27th, seventh most all-time. Brown has been responsible for 49 career touchdowns, four shy of the school record.
Climbing the Charts: With six catches for 112 yards, wide receiver Stefon Diggs continued to ascend within the Maryland record book. Diggs passed Guilian Gary (1998-2001) for seventh all-time with 117 career receptions. The junior wideout moved passed Marcus Badgett (1989-1992) for sixth all-time in career yards with 1,832 yards, and he moved into a tie for seventh in career touchdowns (11) with Badgett and Barry Johnson (1987-1990).
Diggs Over 100: For the seventh time in his career, wide receiver Stefon Diggs eclipsed the 100-yard plateau for receiving yards in a game (112). His seven 100-yard games ties him for second in program history with Torrey Smith (2008-10), Derrick Fenner (2002-05) and Jo Jo Walker (2002-05). Jermaine Lewis (1992-95) holds the program record with 15.
Two Over 100: Wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Deon Long totaled 112 yards and 108 yards receiving, respectively. It is the first time two Maryland receivers have gone over 100 yards since Quintin McCree (7-117) and Kerry Boykins (6-101) did it against Virginia on Nov. 5, 2011.
One More Catch: Wide receiver Stefon Diggs now has a reception in 23 straight games. That total is tied for the fifth longest streak in school history with John Tice (1978-1982).
Still Perfect: Kicker Brad Craddock connected on his eighth, ninth and 10th field goals of the season, a 48 yarder for Maryland’s opening score, a 30 yarder for the Terps’ final points of the first half, and a 48 yarder to close the scoring. Craddock is a perfect 10-for-10 this season and has converted 16 consecutive field goal attempts dating back to last season. Craddock has now converted 41 career field goals, which ranks fifth in program history.
Career First: Wide receiver Juwann Winfree’s first career reception went for a touchdown, a 30-yard strike from quarterback Caleb Rowe.
Offensive Notes: Quarterback Caleb Rowe tossed his 10th career TD pass and third of the season to running back Brandon Ross, who has two in as many games … wide receiver Deon Long led all receivers with a career-high 10 catches and finished with a season-best 108 yards … running back Wes Brown had a career-long 38-yard reception.
Defensive Notes: Maryland’s defense held Indiana to season lows in points (15) and total offense (332). The Hoosiers previous lows were 28 points against Indiana State in the season opener and 489 yards of total offense against Missouri (Sept. 20) … linebacker Cole Farrand totaled a season-high 19 tackles, the most by a Maryland player this season and the most by a Big Ten player … defensive lineman Darius Kilgo tied a career-high with two tackles for loss … defensive back William Likely set a career high with two pass breakups and intercepted his fourth career pass … defensive lineman Roman Braglio recorded his first full sack of the season and now has 3.5 for his career … defensive lineman David Shaw tallied the first two tackles of his career.
