Maryland capped off its second week of practice Saturday morning with a spirited workout at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.

The team scrimmaged for about 45 minutes during the two-hour session.

"There was some good and bad," head coach Ralph Friedgen said. "Some of the redshirt freshmen were a little tentative but they got better as it went along. They need a lot more scrimmaging."

Jamarr Robinson and Danny O'Brien took the majority of the reps under center.

The defense stopped the offense on the first four possessions before Nick Ferrara hit a 43-yard field goal to cap a 48-yard drive led by Robinson. The junior went 3-for-5, including a key third-down completion to Adrian Cannon in the possession. He also had an 8-yard scramble.

O'Brien led the only touchdown drive in the portion of the scrimmage which had possessions beginning at the offense's 40-yard line. 

Webb Dulin and Paul Lariviere had key plays in the 10-play, 60-yard TD drive. O'Brien hit Dulin for 29 yards on third-and-4 and connected with Lariviere for 6 yards on fourth-and-2.

Andrew Braxton went the final 11 yards on three straight runs, capped by a 4-yard plunge.

The defense made key plays to stop drives.

Drew Gloster broke up a Robinson pass on third-and-11 and De'Onte Arnett sacked O'Brien on third-and-6.

Adrian Moten stopped one offensive possession with three straight stops. He tackled Morgan Green on consecutive runs before tripping up LaQuan Willliams well before the marker on third-and-11.

The Terps also worked on third-down plays, field goals and goal-line, but there was no punting or returns.

"I thought the offense was ahead on third down," Friedgen said after the practice.

The offense was successful on 8 of the 14 third-down attempts.

Robinson was 3-for-3 in third-down situations and O'Brien threw for a first down and scrambled for another. Davin Meggett rushed for 4 yards on third-and-1 and Da'Rel Scott broke loose for a 15 yards on a draw on third-and-7. 

"For a first scrimmage-type setting it was pretty good," Friedgen. "The next three weeks are going to be real important."

The Terps are off until Tuesday afternoon.

Scrimmage Notes:

Nick Ferrara  handled most of the place-kicking chores. He hit one regular PAT (from 3-yard line) in the regular scrimmage, as well as the 43-yard FG. The sophomore went 4-for-6 in FG/long PAT attempts, missing one wide right and having another one blocked by Austin Walker.

The offense scored on 4 of 7 attempts from the defense's 5-yard line. D.J. Adams had two scores, Davin Meggett one and a Danny O'Brien to Devonte Campbell 5-yard TD connection accounted for the other.

Antwine Perez had the hit of the afternoon. In the third-down scrimmage, Robinson hit Ronnie Tyler on a slant, who made the first down, but was drilled by Perez. Tyler did somehow hold onto the ball.

Steffan Lazerow was solid playing with the second and third units. The reserve linebacker was in on five tackles over two of the drives.
