Notes:
Smith Sets the Mark: Torrey Smith set the ACC record for career kickoff return yards on his first return of the game, a 21-yarder. The junior now has 2,724 return yards in his career. Brandon Tate of North Carolina (2,688; 2005-08) was the previous record holder.
Spreading it Around: A total of 18 different players have scored a touchdown for the Terrapins this year. Kevin Dorsey caught the first touchdown pass of his career in the second quarter and Alex Wujciak scored his first touchdown of the season on a 60-yard interception return.
Wujciak Does it Again: Alex Wujciak intercepted Miami QB Stephen Morris in the second quarter and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown, the second pick-6 of his career. Wujciak set the Maryland single-season record for interception return yards with 152. With today's return, he is now tied for third in career interception return yards with 212 (also Bill McFadden, 1979-82). Tom Brown ranks No. 1 (275; 1960-62).
An Offensive Defense: The Terps have scored four touchdowns on defense this season: Demetrius Hartsfield had a 14-yard interception return against Morgan State; Kenny Tate had an 8-yard interception return against Wake Forest; Ryan Donohue had a 25-yard interception return against Wake Forest; and Wujciak had his 60-yarder today. The Terps are outscoring opponents 80-7 off turnovers this season.
