Maryland and Florida State are tied at 13-all at the end of the first half. Travis Baltz kicked two field goals and Will Yeatman scored his first touchdown as a Terp.
Halftime Notes:
O'Brien Moves up on Two Lists: Danny O'Brien had 114 passing yards in the first half and is now in 14th place on the ACC single-season freshman passing yardage list with 1,685. He also had his 17th TD pass of the season, moving him into the top 5 on Maryland's single-season passing TD list. Scott Milanovich has the school record with 26 in 1993.
4th-down conversions: Maryland, which entered the game tied for 10th in the nation in fourth-down conversion percentage (10 of 14; 71.4%), converted a crucial fourth down late in the first quarter. On a fouth-and-1 from the FSU 7 yard-line, D.J. Adams took a direct snap and gained two yards. Three plays later Danny O'Brien hit Will Yeatman for a game-tying TD.
Behind the Line: Maryland has 5.0 tackles for loss (minus-13 yards) at halftime. The Terps' season high for TFLs in a game is eight, achieved against Duke (10/2).
First TD: Will Yeatman made his first career touchdown reception on a 7-yard pass from Danny O'Brien early in the second quarter. The senior has two catches for 26 yards.
Another INT for the Defense: Kenny Tate intercepted Christian Ponder in the second quarter and returned it 20 yards to the Florida State 38 yard-line. It was the third interception this season for Tate and the 16th for the Maryland defense, the most since it had 18 in 2002. Maryland has also recorded 23 picks over the last 16 games.
Points off Turnovers: Each team has scored three points off turnovers in the game. Maryland has given up just 10 points on turnovers this season while gaining 83.
Red-Zone Success: Maryland entered tonight's game tied for 21st in the nation, scoring on 88 percent of its trips to the red-zone. The Terps are 3 for 3 in the red zone tonight. Great Scott: Da'Rel Scott had a productive first half for the Terrapins, rushing five times for 60 yards and catching a pass for nine yards. It is already the most rushing yards for the senior since he had 103 against FIU on 9/25/10.
Tidbits: The teams are nearly dead-even in total offense, with FSU holding a slight edge (211 yards to 208) ... FSU is just 1 of 8 on third downs and Maryland is just 2 of 7 ... Chris Thompson's 70-yard TD run was the longest by a Maryland opponent this season and just the third one of over 50 yards.
