"I want to win as bad as the next guy. I feel like we are doing the right things. I like the way our team prepared for the game against Temple. I like the attitude; I like the togetherness and I see us getting better every day. I know itis only a matter of time. To me, it's like a giant boulder and every day we whack at that boulder and one day its going to shatter - then it will be there."

KOPKA BECOMES ONLY THIRD TRUE FRESHMAN TO KICK AT MARYLANDTrue freshman Brian Kopka became only the third true freshman in school history to kick for the Terps as he was successful on two point after touchdown attempts and recorded two unreturnable kickoffs against Temple. Kopka joins only Jess Atkinson (kicked as a freshman in 1981) and Dan Plocki (kicked in 1985) as players who kicked in their inaugural years in College Park. TRUE FRESHMAN KICKERSTrue freshman Brian Kopka joined only former Terps Jess Atkinson and Dan Plocki as players who have kicked as true freshman at Maryland. Kopka was successful on his first career extra point attempt in the second quarter and connected on his second attempt in the third quarter against Temple. In addition, Kopka was called up to kick off twice - once in the second quarter and to begin the second half. Both of his kicks went into and out of the end zone and were not returned by the Owls.

Vanderlinden, who has been associated with incredible turnarounds at both Colorado and Northwestern maybe following a similar pattern from his first season at Northwestern. After falling in their first three games of the Barnett-Vanderlinden era in 1992, the Wildcats defeated Purdue in game four for their first victory. The Terps victory in their fourth game marked a similar story line. NO FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTSMaryland's defense held Temple to no field goal attempts. It marked the second time this season (also against Ohio) that the Terpsi defense had held their opponent without a field goal attempt. TERPS FORCE SEVEN TURNOVERS AGAINST TEMPLEMaryland forced a season high seven turnovers against Temple. The Terps were credited with four interceptions and three fumble recoveries. QUOTING RON VANDERLINDEN FOLLOWING HIS FIRST CAREER VICTORY"Temple is a very good football team and we knew that we would have our hands full. I told our team that this game would go down to the wire. What we had to do was believe and have faith in each other, hang together and find a way to win it and not look up for 60 minutes. I believe we did that. I was really proud of the fact that weive got some guys stepping up and making plays. I have always believed that players make plays. I think Lewis Sanders has demonstrated that heis a player and he continues to make plays. Also, Eric Barton and Eric Ogbogu are very capable of making plays. I am really proud of both of our cornerbacks - and particularly Troy Davidson at the end of the game. He made a big time play near the end of the game. I have been impressed with the way those two players (Davidson and Washington) have taken their share of lumps and yet continue to get better and work and not get their heads down. LaMont Jordan has a gear that he can go to. Itis a good gear and I like that gear. He has shown toughness, speed and the ability to make plays. I am also really proud of the way that Brian Underwood has played. I thought he ran well. I thought that he ran hard and was difficult to tackle. When Temple scored early in the second half and our offense answered with a touchdown -- I thought that was an impressive drive and showed maturity by our offense. i TERPS' RUSHING DEFENSE COME UP LARGE AGAINST TEMPLEMaryland's defense held Temple to 135 rushing yards, the 10th lowest total in the last six seasons Rank Opponent Date Net Rush Yards 1.
