THE GAME
• The University of Maryland plays Purdue University on Friday, Dec. 29 in the 2006 Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla.
The game will be televised live nationally in prime time on ESPN and broadcast on the Terrapin Sports Radio Network
(105.7 FM and 1300 AM Baltimore; 630 AM Washington, D.C.) . Maryland will be making its 4th bowl trip in the six
seasons that Ralph Friedgen has returned as head coach at his alma mater.
• Maryland (8-4, 5-3) comes into the bowl game after dropping its final game of the regular season, 38-24, to Wake
Forest. Despite a 119-yard rushing effort by Keon Lattimore, the Terrapins could not recover from deficits of 21-7 and
28-14 in losing to a Wake Forest team that went on to win the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and its requisite
trip to the Orange Bowl.
• Maryland finished in a second-place tie in the Atlantic Division standings with a 5-3 league mark. The Terrapins tied with
Clemson and Boston College just one game behind Wake Forest, which finished at 6-2. The Terrapins posted a five-
game winning streak in the middle of the season to post its fourth season with at least eight wins in Ralph Friedgen's
six years as head coach at Maryland. A victory in the Champs Sports Bowl would give Maryland only the 1 3th nine-win
season in 114 years of football at the university.
• Purdue (8-5, 5-3) tied for fourth in the Big Ten Conference and closed its regular season with a 42-35 defeat at Hawaii.
In a fourth-quarter shootout that saw the two teams combine for 43 points in the final period alone, the Rainbows scored
on two touchdown passes in the final 4:48 to erase a 35-27 Purdue lead and earn the victory. Purdue won three straight
games in early November to earn the eight-win season, winning at Michigan State and at Illinois before beating Indiana
at home to post a 5-3 mark in the Big Ten
• The Terrapins are seeking their third straight bowl victory, an accomplishment that has never occurred at Maryland.
The Terps defeated West Virginia, 41-7, on 1/1/2004 in the Gator Bowl in their most recent bowl appearance, and that
followed a 30-3 triumph over Tennessee on 12/31/2002 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
• Maryland accomplished its eight-win season against one of the toughest schedules in the nation The Terrapins played
eight teams this season that have earned berths in bowl games.
• Neither Maryland or Purdue is ranked in any of the three major polls coming into bowl season.
SERIES NOTES: TERPS VS. BOILERMAKERS
• Purdue and Maryland have never met on the football field.
• Maryland's last bowl game against a team from the Big Ten Conference was in 1977 when the Terrapins defeated
Minnesota, 1 7-7 in the Hall of Fame Bowl in Birmingham, Ala.
• Maryland has played twice previously in bowl games held in Orlando, Fla. The Terrapins lost to Florida, 35-20. on
12/20/1980 in the Tangerine Bowl and dropped a 30-23 matchup to Tennessee on 12/17/1983 in the Citrus Bowl.
BOWL INFORMATION
• Tickets for the 2006 Champs Sports Bowl are available by calling the Terrapin Ticket Office at 1-800-IM-A-TERP. Tickets
are $60 for the game.

ALL ABOUT PURDUE
SCOUTING THE BOILERMAKERS
• A talented and prolific offense helped Purdue achieve another outstanding season in 2006. The Boilermakers
finished 8-5 overall and tied for fourth place in the Big Ten Conference at 5-3. Purdue started with four straight
victories this season, went 1-4 in a stretch between 9/30 and 10/28, but finished the Big Ten schedule with three
straight wins to hit the eight-win mark.
• Purdue's passing offense ranks 6th in the nation at 293.7 yards per game, a figure that led the Big Ten. The
Boilermakers also led the Big Ten in total offense at 425.8 yards per game.
• Spearheading the passing attack is junior QB Curtis Painter, who was 6th individually in Division l-A in total
offense. Painter threw for 3,721 yards and 21 touchdowns this season. In 13 games, he was 292-for-494 (59.1
completion percentage), an average of 38 pass attempts per game.
• The Boilermakers feature a balanced attack offensively, though, as their rushing game is also successful. Junior
RB Kory Sheets had 769 yards and 1 1 touchdowns on the ground this season, finishing 9th in the Big Ten at 59.2
ypg. His running mate, sophomore Jaycen Taylor, added 658 yards on the ground and had an impressive 6.1 per
carry average.
• Purdue scored 23 touchdowns rushing and 23 touchdowns passing in 2006.
• Painter's top targets include junior WR Dorien Bryant, who led the league in receptions per game and receiving
yards per game. He had 79 catches for 967 yards. Senior TE Dustin Keller is also a prime target with 55 catches
for 751 yards, and sophomore WR Greg Orton had 50 catches for 695 yards.
• Defensively, Purdue is led by junior LB Dan Bick, who topped the team with 92 tackles. Senior DE Anthony
Spencer ended the season with an amazing 26.5 tackles for loss, including 10.5 quarterback sacks. Junior SS
Justin Scott had a team-high 3 interceptions for the Boilermakers, who forced opponents into 1 7 fumbles lost this
year.
WHAT IS A
A boilermaker is a trained craftsman who produces
steel fabrications from plates and sections. The name
originated from craftsmen who would fabricate boilers,
but they may work on projects as diverse as bridges to
blast furnaces. A boilermaker is also the mascot of Purdue
University located in West Lafayette, Indiana. (Source:

QUICK HITS: WEEK 1 2
• Maryland suffered its second straight loss to end the regular season at 8-4. The Terrapins finished the game with a
season-high 376 yards in total offense, including 194 yards on the ground to post the second-best team rushing total of
the year (213 vs. WilliamS Mary)
• TB Keon Lattimore made the most of his starting role, rushing for career highs in yards (119) and carries (23). He
accounted for all 49 yards on the Terps' eight-play, 49-yard drive in the middle of the third quarter.
• Lattimore and TB Lance Ball each scored a rushing touchdown in the game. It was the third time this season that
Maryland's tandem of tailbacks had scored at least one TD on the ground in the same game.
• Ball had 64 yards rushing in the game and moved up two spots to 14th on the Terps' career list. He finished the regular
season with a team best 717 yards.
• PK Dan Ennis hit his only field goal of the game, a 26-yarder midway through the third quarter It was his 12th straight
successful attempt - a span covering six games.
• The Terrapins announced a sellout crowd at Chevy Chase Bank Field at Byrd Stadium, with the attendance of 51,500
being 20th on the all-time list of single-game attendance at Maryland.
• Maryland honored 13 seniors who were appearing at Chevy Chase Bank Field at Byrd Stadium for the final time in
their careers: 33-Josh Allen, 95-Conrad Bolston, 41-T.D. Callahan, 22-Dan Ennis, 70-Stephon Heyer, 14-Sam
Hollenbach, 54-David Holloway, 7-J.P. Humber, 36-Adam Podlesh, 88-Greg Powell. 11-Drew Weatheriy, 4-Josh
Wilson, 12-Marcus Wimbush. This group of seniors heads into the 2006 Champs Sports Bowl with a four-year record
of 28-19 and a five-year mark of 39-22.
OF COMEBACKS
• Maryland's 20-point comeback at Virginia
created a scramble through the record books
to find the following nuggets:
• Head coach Ralph Friedgen was the offensive
coordinator on 11/10/1984 when Maryland
recovered from a 31-0 halftime deficit at Miami
to score a 42-40 triumph.
• The last time Maryland came from 20 points
down to win a game was on 11/20/1993 at
Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons scored
the first 23 points of the game before Maryland
rallied to take a 33-32 victory.
• Before the win at Virginia, Maryland had earned
two 14-point comebacks during Friedgen's
tenure as head coach. Maryland trailed 21-7 at
Wake Forest on 11/29/2003 before winning 41-
28. Also, the Terrapins trailed 21-7 against NC
State on 11/9/2003 before rallying for a 24-21
victory
OF DRAMA
Keon Lattimore's 56-yard touchdown run
gave Maryland the lead for good en route to its
28-26 come-from-behind win at Virginia
Maryland won five straight games (Oct. 24-Nov. 11) by a combined total of 13 points. Each game featured some fourth-
quarter drama and kept Terrapin fans on the edge of their seats:
After losing their ACC opener, 27-23, at Georgia Tech, Maryland trailed 20-0 at Virginia (10/14) when the teams broke
for halftime. The Terrapins got a 56-yard TD by Keon Lattimore and a 45-yard interception return by Erin Henderson
in a run of 28 unanswered points over a stretch of 6: 1 1 . Virginia pulled within 28-26 with a touchdown with 2:37 to play.
but Josh Wilson tipped away the Cavaliers' two-point conversion attempt.
Maryland used two turnovers by NC State to earn a 20-0 lead early on 10/21 , then held on for a 28-26 Homecoming win
over the Wolfpack. NC State pulled within two points with a touchdown with 58 seconds left, but the Terrapins covered
an onside-kick attempt to pull out the win
Sam Hollenbach threw three TD passes en route to a 27-14 lead in the third quarter on 10/28 against Florida State. The
Seminoles closed to within 27-24 with 8:49 left on a 24-yard field goal by Gary Cismesia. Lining up for a potential game-
tying field goal from 46 yards out, DE Jeremy Navarre broke through the middle to block the kick and give Maryland the
win.
The fourth field goal of the day by Clemson s Jad Dean gave the Tigers a 12-10 lead over the Terps with 2:25 left on
11/4. But Sam Hollenbach went 5-for-5 on a game-winning drive that set up a 31-yard field goal by Dan Ennis as time
ran out, giving the Terrapins a 13-12 road victory
BOWL NOTEBOOK
2006 MARYLAND FOOTBALL
CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL GUIDE
• Maryland took an early 14-0 lead against Miami ( 1 1/1 1 ), but held on for a 14-13 win. Trey Covington had an interception
at the Maryland 32 with 3:08 to play and Isaiah Gardner forced a fumble on a Miami punt-return attempt with 1:14
remaining to preserve the win
TERPS OWN NATION'S LONGEST STREAK
• In special teams coach Ray Rychleski's six years, Maryland has had two punters (Brooks Barnard and Adam Podlesh).
two long snappers (Jon Condo and Andrew Schmitt) and zero blocked punts.
• The Terrapins' streak without a blocked punt goes back 85 games, now the longest streak in college football.
• The Terps have not had one blocked since Nov. 13, 1999 (Florida State). That amount of time became the longest in
NCAA football recently when Georgia, which last had one blocked earlier in the 1999 season, had a punt blocked by Ole
Miss.
TURNING THE TABLES
• While the Terrapins are not yielding blocked punts, they are doing their best not to return the favor to their opposition
■ In the last two years, the Terps have blocked four punts. They opened this season with a Josh Wilson block against
William & Mary.
SELECT COMPANY
• Ralph Friedgens 41 wins in his first five years as a head coach ranked tied for second in Atlantic Coast Conference
history among coaches in their first five years. Friedgen is working his way up the charts for sixth-year ACC coaches.
• Though he was the top second-, third- and fourth-year coach in ACC history by wins, Friedgens win total after last
season fell short of the mark of 44 wins set by Clemson's Danny Ford from 1979-83. That mark, however, tied him for
second with former Terrapin great Jerry Claiborne ( 1 972-76) on the list of fifth-year mentors.
• Friedgen (49-24) fell just short this season of matching the six-year ACC mark of Ford (51-1 5-2).
• The win over Miami moved Friedgen into a tie for 2nd place on the list of career victories in a coaches' 6th year at an
ACC school. Dick Crum was 48-20-1 at North Carolina from 1978-82, and Friedgen is now tied with Claiborne, who was
49-20-2 at Maryland from 1972-77.
NEW OLD FACES
• The loss of two experienced coordinators this past season left what would seem to have been a gap in experience on
the Terrapin coaching staff. With Friedgen taking over at offensive coordinator and Chris Cosh on the defensive side,
Maryland is far from green, however.
• The Maryland staff (head coach and full-time assistants), overall, possesses a combined total of 202 years of full-time
experience at either the collegiate or pro levels.
• That total includes seven coaches (Friedgen, Cosh, Brattan, Rychleski, Seamonson, Sollazzo and Zacharias) who have
been at it for 20 years or more, and the 202 years means an average of over 20 years of experience per coach on the
2006 staff.
• Only quarterbacks coach John Donovan (four years) has less than 10 years as a full-time assistant coach. Donovan's
time around football is not quite so brief, however, as he spent four years at Georgia Tech as Fnedgen's graduate
assistant and four years with the Terps as an assistant recruiting coordinator.
BACK IN THE SADDLE
• This season will be Ralph Friedgens first coordinating the Maryland offense while also serving as head coach. Prior to
this year. Friedgen had not called offensive plays since leaving Georgia Tech in 2000.
• In his last stint in college as a coordinator (1 998-2000), Friedgen guided a Georgia Tech offense unit that averaged 36.7
points and 444 yards of total offense per game. During that span, the Yellow Jackets posted a record of 27-8 (.771)
• This run is Friedgens second coordinating the Maryland offense as he served in the same role under head coach Bobby
Ross from 1982-86. In his time with Ross at Maryland. Friedgen helped lead the Terps to three ACC Championships and
was instrumental in the development of quarterbacks Boomer Esiason, Frank Reich and Stan Gelbaugh.

TOUGH ROAD
• The Terrapins road back to a bowl game has been a challenging one, as their schedule was one of the toughest in the
nation this season. The Terrapins played five teams ranked in the AP Top 20 at the time of the game (West Virginia,
Georgia Tech, Clemson, Boston College, Wake Forest).
• Eight bowl teams were among the 12 teams on Maryland's schedule this season (Middle Tennessee, WVU, Georgia
Tech, Florida State, Clemson, Miami, Boston College, Wake Forest). The Terrapins closed their 2006 schedule with five
straight bowl teams.
• The NCAA maintains weekly an updated list of toughest schedules in the nation based on opponents' won-lost records.
At one point this season, Maryland was facing the seventh-toughest slate of games among all Division l-A schools.
• In his online column in the preseason, ESPN.com's Bruce Feldman ranked the Terps schedule as the 10th-toughest in
college football this season
SAM I AM
• For just the second time in the last six years, Maryland
started a season with a returning starter at the
quarterback position. And though the success Sam
Hollenbach (pronounced HALL-en-ooc/<) had a year
ago is not that of Scott McBrien (the last QB to return
as starter) in 2003, his experience and knowledge of
Fnedgen's offense suggests that he he is the man to
lead the Terp offense this season.
• Through 12 games this season, Hollenbach did not
have a breakout performance, but did cut down on
the mistakes that plagued him a year ago. In 2006, he
is 188-for-304 (61. 8 completion percentage) for 2,148
yards with 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. His
career completion percentage is third-best in school
history
• Hollenbach's career completion percentage heading
into the bowl game is 61 .4 percent (402-for-655) Now
with 4,916 yards passing in his career, Hollenbach is
5th on the all-time list at Maryland. Next on the list
is Neil O'Donnell, who threw for 4,989 yards from
1987-89. He is 84 yards from becoming only the 4th
Terrapin in school history to reach the 5,000-yard
mark in his career
• On career lists, he also ranks 4th with 655 attempts
(Neil O'Donnell is 3rd at 658), 3rd in completions with
402 (461, Boomer Esiason, 1981-83) and T4th with
26 passing touchdowns (Neil O'Donnell, 1987-89).
• Hollenbach was the only returning ACC quarterback
to rank in the top five in pass efficiency, total offense
and passing yardage last year. The lone QB who
achieved that feat along with him was the now-
departed Charlie Whitehurst of Clemson. In the
regular season, Hollenbach ranked 3rd in the ACC in
total offense, pass efficiency rating and passing yards
per game.
• Entering the bowl game, Hollenbach is 14-9 in his career as a starter

TERPLE THREAT
• Heading into last season, Maryland was -- for the first time since 2001 -- in search of a tailback. Mario Merrills, Lance
Ball, Keon Lattimore and J. P. Humber were all vying for the job and midway through last season, no single back had
been named the every day starter, A year later, the Terrapins are as deep and talented at tailback as any team in the
ACC and the only issue at hand is splitting up the carries.
• This year, the team has made regular use of Ball, and Lattimore while also mixing in veteran Josh Allen
• So far this season, the trio has accounted for 329 carries, 1 ,473 yards and 1 1 touchdowns rushing.
• Still only a junior, Ball established himself as one of the league's top backs a year ago, rushing for 903 yards despite
starting only four games. He rushed over 100 yards four times in the team's last seven games in 2005 and was
ultimately named second team AII-ACC.
• Ball (above center) currently leads the team in rushing with 717 yards on 156 carries (4.6 per carry). He is 9th in the
ACC in rushing and rushed for the fifth 100-yard game of his career at Georgia Tech (23 carries, 116 yards).
• Junior Keon Lattimore (above right) missed spring recovering from a shoulder injury, but has returned and looked like
a different player this season. He is second on the team in rushing (140 carries, 658 yards) and his 4,7 yards per carry
leads the team, Lattimore had the first 1 00-yard rushing game of his career at Virginia and surpassed that with 1 1 9 yards
in the regular-season finale against Wake Forest.
• Now completely healed from an injury suffered in the final game of 2004, Josh Allen (above left) returns to give the
Terps yet another threat. Allen enters the bowl game tied for 6th on the school's all-time list for rushing touchdowns
and moved into the career top 1 0 for rushing yards with 1 ,958. He is now 9th on that list, passing Billy Lovett ( 1 966-68)
against NC State.
RECEIVERS COMING ALONG
• In Vernon Davis, Danny Melendez, Jo Jo Walker and Derrick Fenner, Maryland lost 76 percent (160 of 210) of its
receptions due to graduation or the NFL draft. It is not a mystery that players will have to step up in their absence,
• The Maryland two-deep returned just one senior (Drew Weatherly) and no other players with the exception of special
teams guru Greg Powell with any more experienced than a sophomore. What the team does have that it did not have
even last year in its talented trio of wideouts is an abundance of physical talent.
• The average height and weight of this year's top five receivers is 6-2, 203. In that group, the average time in the 40-yard
dash in spring drills was 4,46 with Darrius Heyward-Bey and Isaiah Williams each sub-4.4.
• Through 12 games, Maryland's top three wide receivers were all second-year players (Danny Oquendo, Williams and
Heyward-Bey). The only non-receiver to sneak into the top four is another first-year starter, TE Joey Haynos
MORE ON RECEIVING
• Heyward-Bey had an outstanding game at Georgia Tech, often getting yards where there seemingly were none. He
finished the day with five receptions for 111 yards, the first 100-yard effort of his young career and first of the season for
the Terrapins.
• His 175-yard game against Miami featured catches of 65 and 96 yards on which he was able to display his showcase
speed. His 175 yards accounted for the second-best game by an ACC receiver this season, behind only Jomar Wright's
10-for-176 game for Duke against Miami. His 613 receiving yards this season are a Maryland freshman record and
fourth all-time in ACC history among first-year players.
• Heyward-Bey went from out of the top 10 on the ACC's receiving yards list into 3rd with his big game against the
Hurricanes. He's now averaging 52.4 receiving yards per game, finishing the regular season in 6th on that chart in the
ACC statistics. In conference games only, he was 3rd in receiving yards per game (63.8) behind only potential first-
round pick Calvin Johnson of Georgia Tech (92.5) and Chansi Stuckey of Clemson (65.7).

MASCOT
MATCH-UP
In game three (at West Virginia), the trio of Heyward-Bey. Williams and Oquendo accounted for eight more receptions
(12) than they had in their collective careers prior to this year. Heyward-Bey and Williams each posted then career highs
in receptions and yards and Williams caught his first career touchdown, a 35-yarder.
TESTUDO
Testudo, the official
mascot of the University
of Maryland, is not your
ordinary Diamondback
terrapin. For over sixty
years, he has been the
symbol for this campus,
overseeing us in good
times and bad. It is not
easy work, and Testudo
has experienced firsthand the dangers involved in being a
source of campus pride.
Testudo got his start back in 1932, when then
football coach Dr H. Curley Byrd recommended that the
Diamondback terrapin be made the school mascot. It is
also the Maryland State Reptile The suggestion was in
response to The Diamondbacks (the school paper, even
back then) search for a new "official" mascot. Before this
search, Maryland teams were called the Old Liners. The
terrapin, a turtle native to the Chesapeake Bay, seemed a
great choice and a logical one coming from Byrd His native
Crisfield, MD was famous for its terrapins.
While the origin of the terrapin as school mascot is
well known, why the mascot was named Testudo is more
mysterious. One leading contender for the name's origin is
that it was derived from the scientific classification for turtle,
testudines. Another theory is that the name is from testudo
gigantia, a species native to the African country Seychelles
and the remote island Aldabra. Finally the derivation of
the word testudo itself comes from the Latin word for a
protective shelter used for Roman soldiers heads, similar
to a tortoise shell
PURDUE PETE
A boilermaker if ever
there was one, Purdue
Pete first took the field to
cheer on the Boilermakers
in 1956. Initially students
with tumbling ability were
chosen to portray Pete.
In those days, Pete had
a papier mache head and
a bit of padding but was
expected to tumble along with the cheerleaders Today,
Pete's head is crafted in the same aviation technology lab
that produced the locomotive body of the X-tra Special. In
addition to the head, the four students who portray Pete
wear shoulder pads and carry a hammer
Pete got his start in 1940 as an advertising icon for
University Bookstore, and he continues in that role. He first
appeared outside bookstore ads in 1944, when editors of
the Debris yearbook put an adapted Pete on each page.
For instance, in the home economics section. Pete had a
bucket and mop; for civil engineering, he peered through
a transit.
Purdue Pete lore is filled with tales of wrestling matches
against opposing mascots and muggings by opposing fans.
Once, on the way back from Iowa, Pete's head blew out of
the back of the Boilermaker Special. It was never found.
Pete has changed with the times, boasting more
than five makeovers through his years rooting on the
Boilermakers.
NOTING THE TERP DEFENSE
• When he was hired to come to Maryland, the talk about the mark Ralph Friedgen would make in College Park was all
about offense. For the majority of his tenure, however, the most consistent Terp unit has been the defense.
• Since 2001 , the Maryland defense has allowed an average of 19.4 points per game. The 2005 campaign was the team's
first in that time finishing a season with a scoring average above 20.0.
• Maryland's defense has been outstanding in the red zone, one of the key ingredients to the midseason winning streak.
Between the final red-zone trip by Florida State on 10/28 and the end of the Boston College game on 11/18, on 11
attempts by opponents, the Terps allowed just 1 touchdown and 8 field goals, while blocking one FG and seeing another
FG missed. The Eagles got a TD and FG in 3 trips inside the Terp 20. Wake Forest bucked that trend a bit, getting 4
touchdowns and a field goal on 6 red-zone trips on 11/25.
• Last year's defensive scoring average of 25.0 points per game was somewhat deceiving. The Terrapins gave up 42
points without the defense even being on the field (four interception returns, one punt return and one fumble return).
Factor that in and the team averaged 21.1 points allowed per game, which would have ranked 26th-best in the nation
as opposed to 55th.
• Since 2001 . 45 of Maryland's 73 opponents (62%) have been held to 20 points or less.
• Since 2002. Maryland has held its opposition scoreless in 101 quarters (including 14 in 2006).
• Prior to the first-half shutout of NC State, the last time Maryland held an opponent scoreless in the first half was
11/27/2004 when the Terps posted a zero on the scoreboard at Wake Forest. Maryland won that game 13-7.
• Maryland has held nine opponents to 100 yards or less passing since 2001 (one in 2006).
• Since '01, Maryland has held its opposition below 100 yards rushing 16 times. The Terps have accomplished the feat
twice in '06 (William & Mary and Fill)
• Just 5 times since game two of 2003 has a quarterback been able to pass for more than one touchdown against the
Terrapins (Virginia Tech's Bryan Randall in 2004, Clemson's Charlie Whitehurst in 2005, Virginia's Jameel Sewell,
Florida State's Xavier Lee and BC's Matt Ryan in 2006),
TURNOVER LOW IN '06 AND '07
• Maryland had just 15 seniors on its roster last season, with two of those seniors -- OT Stephon Heyer and TB Josh
Allen -- back in uniform this year after redshirting due to injury.
• Only seven of those 15 seniors from last year were listed as starters (three offense, four defense).
• Just four players from the entire defensive two-deep from last year were lost to graduation.
• This season's team has a total of just 1 3 seniors.
LB UNIT HOME OF THE HARDWARE
• Three of the last five years, the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year has been a Maryland linebacker.
This season the Terps have had to replace last year's honoree after losing eventual NFL second-round pick D'Qwell
Jackson (currently the Browns' third-leading tackier), so it may come as a shock that Maryland's LB corps may be better
this season.
• Focus this year has been on junior Wesley Jefferson as he is filling the spot where E.J. Henderson (2001 and 2002)
and Jackson (2005) earned their hardware while also garnering national award attention at season's end. Jefferson
-- who is currently 3rd in the ACC in tackles with 8 9 per game -- has a deeper and possibly more talented surrounding
cast than either All-Amencan was afforded LB Erin Henderson, for example, is just ahead of his teammate in 2nd place
in the league (9.2 per game) and the Terp duo trails only Virginia Tech LB Vince Hall (9.6 per game) on that list.
• In game one of 2006, the Terps got eight players in at their four linebacker positions with four of the team's top five
tacklers being linebackers Between Jefferson, Dave Philistin Erin Henderson and Trey Covington. 28 tackles, three
TFLs and two sacks were accounted for,
• LBs have led the Terps in tackles in 1 1 of the 1 2 games (CB Isaiah Gardner had a team-high 8 vs. Middle Tennessee).
Jefferson has led the Terps 5 times in games (W&M, FIU, UVa, NC State, Miami), while senior David Holloway topped
the tackle chart against West Virginia and Georgia Tech Henderson topped the tackle chart for the first time this season
against FSU, finishing with 13, then surpassed that total with 18 at Clemson. He led the Terps with 11 stops against
Wake Forest.
• Jefferson had a career-high 13 against NC State. Jefferson had 14 at Miami and Henderson finished with a 4-9-13 chart
against the Canes.
• Jefferson (W&M, UVa, NC State, Miami), Holloway (GT) and Henderson (UVa, FSU, Clem, Miami, Wake) have posted
games in double figures this season.

CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL GUIDE
E-* ■ »!i!H KM
TURTLES IN NAME ONLY
• The last two years, Maryland has seen an increased level of speed and athleticism among its players as the players on
this years team have shown In offseason testing (Last season was the first year that there were no remaining players
from the previous regime's recruiting efforts),
• The Terrapins had 14 players run in the 4.5-or-better range in the 40-yard dash in spring testing (note that all times are
an average of six stopwatches on the same sprint),
• Four of the 1 1 wide receivers who tested in the spring ran 4.44 or faster and six defensive backs ran under a 4.5,
• Some notable times from players other than wideouts and corners who ran well include linebacker Dave Philistin
(4.55), quarterback Josh Portis (4.53) and punter Adam Podlesh (4,44)
• One other notable time, though it has as much to do with weight as it does speed, was the 4.83 time of 312-pound
defensive tackle Dre Moore.
PODLESH MOVING UP THE CHARTS
• Adam Podlesh is rated by NFL scouts as one of the top senior punting prospects this season. He has earned that
distinction with as complete a resume as a punter can possess -- gross average, net average, directional punting and
consistency -- and he has done it throughout his career at Maryland,
• In 1 2 games this season, Podlesh is averaging 43,1 yards per punt on 50 attempts with 21 balls inside the 20-yard line
and 17 fair catches.
• Podlesh is ranked 20th nationally in gross punt average heading into bowl season.
• On 212 career punts, Podlesh has dropped 38 percent (81) inside the opponents' 20-yard line and 16 percent (34) inside
the opposition's 10.
• Podlesh has earned second-team AII-ACC honors in each of his four years at Maryland, In each of those seasons, he
was ranked just behind last year's Ray Guy Award winner Ryan Plackemeier of Wake Forest, He is the only player in
school history to earn AII-ACC honors four times.
• In being named the second team AII-ACC punter in 2003, Podlesh became the first freshman in school history to be
recognized by the league,
• Heading into 2006, Podlesh's career average was ninth-best in ACC history and just a half-yard shy of Brooks Barnard's
school record of 43 7. Podlesh currently carries a 43,2 career average.
MORE SPECIAL TEAMS
• Two crucial stats came to the attention of talented special teams coordinator/assistant coach Ray Rychleski in bowl
preparations:
• Maryland's average start of drives after kickoff returns was the Terrapins' 31-yard line. That figure led the ACC.
• Another ACC-leading note, opponents' net punting average against the Terps was 31 .5 yards, another factor that gave
Maryland good field position to work with.
• Senior CB Josh Wilson is one of the top return men in college football, ranking third with 28, 1 yards per return. He has
also shattered the Terps' single-season return yards mark (844).
KEEPING PLAYERS AT HOME
• In his first signing day with the Terps (2001), Ralph Friedgen said that in
addition to landing some of the top recruits nationally, one of his goals was to
make sure that all of the best players in the state of Maryland stayed in state
and became Terps.
• Over the course of the past eight years, the Maryland-DC-Virginia recruiting
area has been tapped with regularity by the Terps, In 1997, just 23 players on
the Maryland roster hailed from either Maryland, DC, or Virginia, with six of
those serving as opening-game starters. Since that time, however, numbers in
both categories have risen steadily to their current level of more than half the
current roster. Below is a look at the trend:

The Terrapins' success in the region has been the foundation for the team's
success in recent years. Fnedgen credits the signing class which included
Randy Starks and Domonique Foxworth for starting the trend that included

The 6-9, 350-pound Jared Gaither
set the all-time record for vertical
jump by an offensive lineman with
an amazing 36-inch jump.
IRON TERPS
• Maryland's strength numbers over the course of the last six years have been
off the charts. This season, 22 players earned "Iron Terp" status, an honor
that Is based on a player's strength Index (determined by a strength/weight
formula).
• Team averages (in categories used to measure index) this season include
an average bench press of 338 pounds; an average squat of 489 pounds; an
average clean of 294 pounds; and an average vertical jump of 33-1/2 inches.
• Not only were new individual records set, but the team as a whole improved
dramatically, as 78 percent of the players on this year's team elevated their
personal bests in strength index.
• Nine different all-time records were set for players at their given position.
Among those records were the 40-yard dash time of punter Adam Podlesh
(4.44), the vertical jump of linebacker Rick Costa (42 inches) and the bench
press of quarterback Jordan Steffy (355).
• Arguably the most amazing record set was by offensive tackle Jared Gaither
At 6-9 and 350 pounds, Gaither posted a 36-inch vertical jump.
ACC FOOTBALL POWER
• Now in its second year as a 12-team conference with a championship game, the Atlantic Coast Conference is widely
recognized as one of the premier conferences in the country.
• Last season, eight ACC teams earned bowl bids. The league matched that total in 2006.
• The conference's schools have posted a 21-12 mark in postseason play in the last five years, best among all Division
l-A conferences in that span.
• With 1 0 of its 1 2 teams in the Sagarin ratings final top 45 last season, the ACC was ranked second among all conferences
in the final Sagarin poll in 2005. Three of its schools were rated by Sagarin to have among the toughest 20 schedules
in the country before the season (UNC, 5th; Maryland, 10th; Georgia Tech, 16th).
A LOOK BACK
• Maryland has 49 wins in its six seasons under Ralph Friedgen (in Friedgen's first 5 seasons, the team averaged 8.2 wins
per year).
• The Terps' total of 36 wins from 2001-04 was the second-highest four-year win total in school history. Maryland's top
effort was 37 wins under Jerry Claiborne from 1975-78.
• In the 1 08 years of football prior to Friedgen's arrival, Maryland had never put together three straight n/ne-win seasons.
The Terrapins won 10 games in each of Friedgen's first three seasons (2001, 2002 and 2003).
PROTECTING THE HOUSE
• Despite a sub-. 500 record in 2005, the Terrapins are 30-8 at Byrd Stadium under Ralph Friedgen. The Terps finished
6-1 at home this season.
• The Terps finished the 2003 season with a perfect 6-0 record at home, marking the second time in three years the team
finished its home slate unblemished.
• In 113 previous seasons of football, Maryland has finished undefeated at home 19 times. Just eight of those occasions,
however, have come since 1950 (when Byrd Stadium opened) and just three times has it happened since 1975 (1976,
2001,2003).
• The Terrapins' 6-0 mark in 2003 was a tie for the second-best record at home in school history. The 1976 team was also
6-0, only to be trumped by the 2001 team, which won all of its games on a 7-game home slate.
MORE ON CHEVY CHASE BANK FIELD AT
BYRD STADIUM
• Now in its 57th year of operation. Chevy Chase Bank Field at Byrd Stadium continues to serve as the home of the Terps
Opened on Sept. 30. 1950, and constructed for a sum of $1 million, Byrd was named after Dr. H.C. "Curley" Byrd. a
multi-sport star at Maryland who later became the school's head football coach and ultimately its president.
• The Terrapins are 186-107-1 within the friendly confines of Byrd

(ON THE BOWL TRIP)
"We re very excited lobe going to the Champs Sports Bowl Our kids have been oil lor a week, getting
caught up academically. It's always a tough time of year because everything comes to a head: all the
papers are due. exams are coming up, so I wanted to give them some time to get caught up and to get
ready for Ihe last big push. "
(ON PRACTICING DURING EXAM WEEK)
"We will not practice during exams. I'm going to give them off starting with the study day. which is next
Wednesday and then we'll come back and practice two times before we leave."
(ON HIS APPROACH TO PRACTICING
IN THE POSTSEASON)
"Hopefully we'll close the gap with our younger kids for Ihe spring. We'll try to prepare the guys that
play through the game but also spend some time with the younger kids. Well hopefully bndge the gap
so when spring practice starts they'll have a pretty good chance of knowing what's going on so we can
valuate them and what they're doing "
(ON THE BREAK UNTIL THE BOWL GAME)
The first year [in 2001 j. we were off for a long time and we didn't do very well with that. I handled that a
lot differently than I did the last two bowl games We ran two-a-days that first year and I think it's more
important that our players go to the game excited and want to play I think they need to get away from It.
to recharge the batteries: I need to recharge mine too I'm hoping there's a renewed sense of energy. I
know yesterday the kids seemed generally excited about the bowl that we re going to. "
(ON PURDUE)
"They're a very good team and anybody you play at this time of year is going to be good. They have an
excellent quarterback, a very good wide receiver, a very good running back. Defensively they have a
lot of speed, especially on the edges. They play a very physical brand of football I've always been an
admirer of Coach Tiller's, of what he does and how he does it. Their kids play with a lot of enthusiasm.
a lot of emotion. It's going to be a very, very good test for us "
(ON WHAT THIS BOWL MEANS
FOR THE SENIOR CLASS)
*/ think they wanted to finish better, especially the way we ended up. I know when they finish on a
positive note, it's really a good feeling, maybe for the rest of their life. I think the people that have
gone to our last two bowl games talk about how good they were and what a great time they had. but I
think our players also have a good time when they win. A lot of them are graduating: this is it in a lot of
different ways. It's not only their last game, in many cases it's their last class. "
(ON THE PLAYERS ACHIEVING ONE
OF THEIR GOALS)
'I'm excited for them because they're excited. You always worry about where they see themselves and
where they want to go. I've been to a bunch of bowl games and I'll be honest, it's a lot more work for
me. but it's enjoying their enthusiasm and their enjoyment to go It's special and it's something that was
a goal of this team's and now they've had an opportunity to achieve it. It would be nice to finish it off
and be 9-4. As disappointing as the last two games were when you look back over the whole season
you see that we played eight teams that went to bowls, five of them that were ranked when we played
them. To end up 9-4 would be a pretty dam good season for us. "

SIX SEASONS • FOUR BOWLS
2002 ORANGE BOWL, 2002 PEACH BOWL
2004 GATOR BOWL, 2006 CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL
NOW IS IN HIS SIXTH YEAR AS HEAD COACH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND,
RALPH FRIEDGEN HAS A REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE TOP MINDS IN COLLEGE
FOOTBALL. HE HAS LIFTED THE TERRAPINS TO UNPRECEDENTED HEIGHTS IN HIS
TENURE, TAKING THE TEAM TO FOUR SOWL GAMES, INCLUDING A PAIR OF NEW
YEAR'S DAY APPEARANCES. PRIOR TO FRIEDGEN'S ARRIVAL, MARYLAND HAD JUST
ONE BOWL GAME APPEARANCE IN THE PREVIOUS 15 SEASONS.
He is the 33rd head coach in school history and ranks
second in Maryland annals in career winning percentage
(.671), trailing only legendary coach Jim Tatum, who is the
only other mentor to lead the Terps to three 1 0-win seasons
and multiple New Year's Day bowl appearances.
This season Friedgen has also taken on added
responsibility, assuming the duties of the team's offensive
coordinator, marking the first time he has called the plays
in his head coaching tenure at Maryland. The team went
on to post an 8-4 regular season record, marking the fourth
eight-win campaign in the last six seasons.
A long-time successful assistant coach at Georgia Tech,
where he was credited with overseeing one of the nation's
most potent offensive attacks, Friedgen continues to build
a new level of pride and glory to his aima mater's football
program, guiding the Terps to a 49-24 record, including an
Atlantic Coast Conference title and a pair of second-place
finishes. Through his first five seasons, he was the second-
winningest head coach in ACC history. ■
Not only do his 41 wins after five seasons match the
mark of Terps legend Jerry Claiborne, they also fall just
shy of the all-time ACC mark of 44, set by Clemson's
Danny Ford in the early 1980s. In addition, in his first three
seasons at the helm of the Terrapin program, Friedgen
became the first coach in conference lore to lead a team
to three-straight seasons of 10 wins or more, while his 36
wins in his first four years ranked him in the top 1 0 in NCAA
history, surpassing the fourth-year marks of coaches such
as Frank Leahy and Joe Patemo.
The consensus national Coach of the Year in 2001
after leading Maryland to its first ACC championship since
1985, Friedgen and Company have returned Maryland to
prominence on the national scene. The Terrapins have won
more games (49) in the five-plus seasons under Friedgen
than they had in the 10 years prior to his arrival (37).
Long overlooked as a head-coaching candidate, the
1970 Maryland graduate was tapped as the Terps' head
football coach following the 2000 season, and he wasted
no time in returning the program to the glory days it
achieved when Friedgen was an assistant to Bobby Ross
in the 1980s.
Five years ago, in his first season as the Terps' grid boss,
Maryland won its first seven games and eventually halted
Florida State's reign as perennial ACC champion, earning
the league's automatic berth in the Bowl Championship
Series' FedEx Orange Bowl. By winning the ACC title that
season, Friedgen became the first mentor in league history
to win the championship in his first year as a head coach.
In 2002, despite a 1-2 start and without 19 seniors from
the previous year, the Terps made their way back to a major
bowl game, winning 10 of their last 11 games and finishing
in a tie for second in the ACC. The 2003 campaign provided
a bit of deja vu for Friedgen and the Terrapins as they again
started 1-2, and again ran off 10 wins in their final 11 games
to earn a second New Year's bowl bid in three years.
By winning 11 games in 2002, Friedgen became just
the second coach in school history to hit that mark, tying
matching Claiborne's 11-win campaign in 1976.
This year's team started 3-2 before reeling off a five-
game winning streak, which placed them in the midst of
the ACC Atlantic Division race. The Terps lost to eventual
champion Wake Forest on the final game of the regular
season, but Maryland was a force in the league race
throughout the year, enabling it to earn the fourth slot
among ACC postseason bids and a trip to Orlando for the
Champs Sports Bowl.
Friedgen's Terps have now gone to bowl games in four
of his six seasons, participating in the BCS Orange Bowl his
first year before posting lopsided victories over Tennessee
(30-3) in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and over West Virginia
(41-7) in the Toyota Gator Bowl.
His offensive success notwithstanding, Friedgen's
teams at Maryland have been superb on defense, ranking
among the nation's leaders annually while producing the
ACC's Defensive Player of the Year in three of the last
five seasons (E.J. Henderson in 2001 and 2002; D'Qwell
Jackson in 2005).
Named the winner of the Frank Broyles Award as the
top assistant coach in the country in 1999 while at Tech,
Friedgen brought 32 years of assistant coaching experience
(including 21 as an offensive coordinator either in college or
the NFL) with him in his return to College Park.
The 59-year-old Friedgen (pronounced FREE-jun) owns
the rare distinction of coordinating the offense for both a
collegiate national champion (Georgia Tech in 1990) and a
Super Bowl team (San Diego in 1994).

CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL GUIDE
RALPH FRIEDGEN
1 I r A ft T. ? m CSSMM^^^^^M
Friedgen spent 20 seasons with the aforementioned
Ross in coaching stops at The Citadel, Maryland, Georgia
Tech and the NFL's San Diego Chargers. He returned to
Tech in 1997, where he served another successful stint
as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under
good friend George O'Leary, now the head coach at the
University of Central Florida.
A 1970 graduate of Maryland, where he earned a degree
in physical education, Friedgen launched his coaching
career as a graduate assistant before heading off to a
series of jobs that included The Citadel (1973-79), William
& Mary (1980) and Murray State (1981).
In 1 982, he returned to Maryland as offensive coordinator
and offensive line coach under Ross, with Friedgen's
tenure lasting until 1986. During that stretch, the Terps
captured three consecutive ACC championships (1983-85)
and played in four bowl games. All told, the Terrapins were
39-15-1 from 1982-86 and won two bowl games (the Sun
Bowl in 1984 and the Cherry Bowl in 1985). It is the type
of success Friedgen has instilled in his current group of
Terrapins.
The Ross-Friedgen connection began in 1973, when
Ross hired the former Maryland offensive guard as
defensive line coach at The Citadel. Friedgen spent
seven seasons at The Citadel, the last three as offensive
coordinator and offensive line coach He then worked
one season (1980) as offensive coordinator at William &
Mary and one season (1981) as assistant head coach at
Murray State before Ross tapped him to be his offensive
coordinator at Maryland in 1982.

During his five-year stay at Maryland under Ross,
Fnedgen was instrumental in the development of future
pro quarterbacks Boomer Esiason, Frank Reich and Stan
Gelbaugh, all of whom spent at least 10 seasons in the
National Football League. Esiason played professionally
from 1984-97, Reich from 1985-98 and Gelbaugh from
1986-95.
Fnedgen followed Ross to Georgia Tech in 1987.
becoming the Yellow Jackets' offensive coordinator and
quarterbacks coach for the next five seasons, including the
1990 campaign when Tech. unranked in the preseason,
captured the national championship with an 11-0-1 record.
The national title came just two years after the Jackets had
posted back-to-back seasons of three wins or less.
When Ross was named head coach of the San Diego
Chargers in 1992, he tapped Fnedgen to serve as running
game coordinator for two seasons (1992-93) before
elevating him to offensive coordinator in 1994, when the
Chargers advanced to the Super Bowl for the first time
in franchise history. During his time with the Chargers.
Fnedgen helped a club that had not made the playoffs
in a decade reach postseason play three times in five
seasons.
Known for developing balanced offensive attacks with
multiple looks, Tech was one of only two teams in the
country in 1999 to average at least 200 yards rushing and
200 yards passing. Tech also accomplished the feat under
Fnedgen's guidance in 1990. '91 and '98. The 1999 team,
with Joe Hamilton at quarterback, set 59 school records,
rewriting many marks established by the 1990 national
championship team, which was led by another Friedgen
pupil, Shawn Jones (1989-92). Fnedgen was a finalist for
the Broyles Award as the nations top assistant coach in
1998 when the Ramblin' Wreck set a then-school record
with 50 touchdowns.
The first Maryland alum since Bob Ward (1967-68) to
serve as the Terps' head football coach, Friedgen originally
came to Maryland as a quarterback in the mid-60s and
spent most of his career as an offensive lineman, lettering
in 1966 and '68 and captunng Academic AII-ACC honors.
He was a two-time winner of the George C. Cook Memorial
Award (1968-69) for having the highest academic average
on the football team.
Friedgen s coaching roots run deep. His father, also
named Ralph (though not a "Sr."), was a high school coach
for more than 30 years and masterminded, among other
teams, the 1964 Westchester County (N.Y.) High School
team that went undefeated and averaged 44 points per
game running what was then an unusual multiple offense.
It was an offense run by a 190-pound quarterback later
recruited by Maryland who shared his name. Maybe as a
sign of things to come, the younger Ralph called all of his
team's offensive plays from his junior year on.
Fnedgen and his wife, the former Glona Spina, have
three daughters: Kelley, Kristina and Katie. Gloria is
currently the Coordinator of Alumni Affairs and Outreach for
the College of Health and Human Performance at Maryland
while both serve on that colleges Board of Visitors. Kelley
is in her second year as an associate at Arnold and Porter
in D C, specializing in pharmaceutical and medical device
law; Kristina is in her third year in the theater program at
Maryland: and Katie is her first year of college at Maryland,

#19/1 9 CLEMSON
CLEMSON, S C (AP) - Dan Ennis kicked a 31-yard field goal as time ran out, lifting Maryland to its fourth
straight victory, a win over No 19 Clemson that moved the Terrapins into a tie for first place in the Atlantic
Division race
The Terps (7-2, 4-1 ACC) used the same bluepnnt as Virginia Tech to keep Clemson's powerful running
game in check But it looked like it wouldn't matter after Jad Dean kicked his fourth field goal with 2:25 left to put
the Tigers (7-3. 4-3) ahead 12-10
But Sam Hollenbach drove Maryland 54 yards to Clemson's 12 - converting a fourth-and-inches with his
sneak - to set up Ennis' game winner
The Terps lumped and hugged Ennis in celebration They had a lot to be happy about - the victory keeps
them in the mix to represent the league's Atlantic Division in the championship game
Maryland came into the weekend tied in the division with No 16 Boston College and No. 22 Wake Forest It
remained on top with Wake Forest after the Demon Deacons' win over the Eagles later Saturday night.
Maryland's chances seemed slim after the Tigers got a key call overturned by the replay booth to help them
take the lead.
Clemson trailed 10-9 midway through the final period when quarterback Will Proctor had the ball npped from
his hands at the end of a run near Clemson's 10 Tailback C.J. Spiller chased the ball back to the goal line and
slid into the end zone as he collected it When Maryland linebacker David Holloway fell on Spiller, officials gave
Maryland a safety
But after a lengthy review, Spiller was ruled down on Clemson's 1
Two plays later, Proctor completed a 7 1 -yard pass down the middle to tight end Thomas Hunter to Maryland's
28
Clemson appeared to put the game away when James Davis rushed for a touchdown That play, however,
was nullified by an illegal procedure call and the Tigers settled for Dean's final kick
For the second straight week, Clemson's powerful tailback tandem of Davis and Spiller was held in check
The two combined for 332 yards on the ground to beat Georgia Tech, a victory thai lifted the Tigers into the top
10 In this one, Davis had 90 yards - he had a 42-yard run early in the game - and Spiller 41
Hollenbach led the Terps. completing 23 of 34 passes for 247 yards He hit on 11 straight throws dunng one
stretch, including Maryland's only touchdown play - a 7-yard sconng pass to Danny Oquendo.

COLLEGE PARK, Md - Sam Hollenbach connected with Darnus Heyward-Bey twice, including a school-
record 96-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, as the Maryland Terrapins outlasted the Miami
Hurricanes
The Terps (8-2, 5-1 ACC) maintained a share of first place in the ACC Atlantic Division following the win.
Miami fell to 5-5, 2-4 in the conference.
With the win. Maryland became the first team in 21 seasons to defeat both the Hurricanes and the Florida
Slate Seminoles in the same year, a feat last accomplished by the Florida Gators in 1985.
Despite only recording six first downs, the Terps staked an early 14-0 lead and the defense prevailed,
with a key interception by Trey Covington on the Hurricanes' final dnve Although Miami forced a late punt.
Isaiah Gardner swooped in to cause Bruce Johnson's fumble, which was recovered by J.J. Justice to seal the
victory, Maryland's fifth in a row.
Hollenbach, who threw for over 200 yards for the second straight game, finished with 202 yards on 11-of-
1 6 passing Heyward-Bey eclipsed the century mark in receiving yards for the second time in his career, with
five catches for 175 yards
The duo connected on the Terps' then-longest play of the season, a 65-yard stnke for the opening
touchdown with 1 1 :45 remaining in the first quarter It was the first time Maryland had scored a touchdown on
its opening possession since Middle Tennessee on September 9
However, they eclipsed both the season and all-time marks with the 96-yarder down the nght sideline
in the second quarter The play broke the previous record of 92 yards (Stan Levme to Ed Bolton vs. South
Carolina), a mark that stood for 57 seasons In addition, it was the longest play ever given up by the Miami
defense in that school's history.
Meanwhile, the Maryland defensive effort was led by linebackers Wesley Jefferson and Erin Henderson,
who notched 14 and 13 tackles, respectively. Comerback Josh Wilson had five pass breakups in the game,
including one midway through the fourth quarter which stopped a potential sconng dnve for Miami.
Both teams played with great emotion following a pre-game moment of silence and tribute to Hurncanes
senior defensive tackle Bryan Pata, who was shot and killed earlier this week.

BOSTON (AP) • Boston College led 14-0 in the first four minutes on Jolonn Dunbar's returns of 14 and 38
yards before Matt Ryan threw two scoring passes in a win over 21st-ranked Maryland on Saturday
Any hopes for a comeback were dashed by two more Terrapin turnovers • a 42-yard interception return for
a touchdown by DeJuan Tribble and an interception in the end zone by Jamie Silva after Maryland reached
the 4-yard line early in the fourth quarter
The loss ended Maryland's five-game winning streak.
On the second play from scrimmage, Danny Oquendo look a pitchout to the left from quarterback Sam
Hollenbach and was blasted by Larry Anam. Oquendo fumbled, Hollenbach slid for the ball but it squirted
toward Maryland's end zone, and Dunbar scooped it up and ran for the touchdown just 42 seconds into the
game.
On the fifth play of the next series, Hollenbach tried a pitch to the other side with similar results. Lance Ball
fumbled and Dunbar was there again, grabbing the ball and racing untouched into the end zone,
Ryan finally got in the game with 6:36 left in the first quarter and threw a 21-yard completion to Tony
Gonzalez on his first play That series ended with a missed 42-yard field goal attempt by Steve Aponavicius.
Maryland scored midway through the second quarter on the first of Dan Ennis' three field goals, a 29-yarder
Then Ryan led BC to touchdowns on a 34-yard pass to Gonzalez and a 17-yarder to Brandon Robinson
for a 28-3 lead. On those two series, Ryan completed 9 of 12 passes for 140 yards.
Ennis' 37-yard field goal on the last play of the half and his 46-yarder cut the lead to 28-9. After Tribble's
interception, Maryland scored its only touchdown on Josh Allen's 9-yard option pass to Oquendo
The Terrapins had a chance to get within two scores early in the fourth quarter, but Hollenbach's pass was
intercepted in the end zone by Jamie Silva.
They also had a first-and-goal from the 5-yard-line later in the quarter, but turned the ball over on
downs.

COLLEGE PARK, Md (AP) - Kenneth Moore ran for 165 yards and a touchdown, Kevin Hams scored twice, and
freshman quarterback Riley Skinner went 1 0-for- 1 3 for 125 yards and a touchdown for No. 20 Wake Forest, which
became the first ACC team in history to go 6-0 on the road with a victory over Maryland.
Wake Forest handed Maryland (8-4. 5-3) its first home loss of the season
II was Wake Forest's first win in eight tries against Maryland since 1998 The Demon Deacons were 1340-1
against the Terrapins all-lime.
Wake Forest went up 28-14 with an 80-yard touchdown drive to start the second half Moore had runs of 15 and
23 yards and Skinner went 3-for-3 for 35 yards before Harris scored from the 3
Maryland's Keon Lattimore then accounted for all the yardage in a 49-yard drive that produced a 26-yard field
goal by Dan Ennis, but the Deacons answered with a field goal to restore the 14-poinl cushion
Maryland closed to 31-24 when Sam Hollenbach threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Williams with 12 54
left But Wake Forest responded with a 10-play, 76-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Rich Belton
on a fourth-down play
Lattimore rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown, only the third player to reach the 100-yard mark against the
Demon Deacons this season Hollenbach was 14-for-26 for 125 yards, but threw three interceptions.
Wake Forest yielded 215 yards in the first half, but benefited Irom turnovers in taking a 21-14 lead.
The final game of a crazy ACC regular season matched two of the league's most surpnsing teams in a duel for
the Atlantic Division title
Both teams scored touchdowns on their opening drives Lattimore ran in from the 12 before Harris concluded a
13-play possession with a 2-yard run
Next came an exchange of turnovers After Riley Swanson took an interception 30 yards to the Maryland 16, an
apparent touchdown run by Moore was erased by a holding call. On the next play. Skinner threw his first interception
on the road. A 19-yard touchdown run by Moore made it 14-7 early in the second quarter.
The Terrapins' next two drives ended in interceptions by Alphonso Smith After the latter turnover, Skinner threw
a 49-yard touchdown pass to Willie Idlette for a 21-7 lead,
Maryland then got a 1-yard touchdown run by Lance Ball
Despite the loss, the Terps still posted their fourth eight-win regular-season over the last six years They'll have a
chance to win nine games for only the 1 3th time in school history in a bowl game

crew, rushing for 165 yards and scoring three touchdowns.
Gambino's three scores propelled Maryland to a 20-7 lead,
but Georgia reeled off 13 points in the fourth quarter to tie the
game The Bulldogs threatened to win the game in the closing

In what may have been perhaps the biggest win in
Maryland football history, the Terps upset No. 1 -ranked and
regular season national champion Tennessee, 28-13, in the
1952 Sugar Bowl. The Terps were led by running back Ed
"Mighty Mo" Modzelewski (153 yards on 28 carries) and the
brilliant play of running back/defensive back Ed Fullerton who
scored two touchdowns and threw for another. The Terps
put the game out of reach in the third quarter with a 46-yard
interception for a touchdown by Fullerton, giving the Terps a
28-6 lead. Maryland finished the season with an overall record
of 10-0-0 and a No 3 national ranking

This was the first game of the contract that pitted the
Big Eight Conference champion against the Atlantic Coast
Conference champion. The Terrapins took an undefeated
season and the nation's No. 1 ranking into the game against
an Oklahoma squad that used a powerful running attack to
grind out a second quarter touchdown to propel the Sooners
to a 7-0 win. Twice the Terps had first down opportunities with
the ball inside the 10-yard line and failed to come away with
any points Despite the narrow loss, the Terrapins claimed
the 1953 national championship.

Maryland came away from its first bowl game in 18
years a bitterly disappointed team The Terrapins dominated
Georgia in all phases, but the game was tied 10-10 at the
half thanks to a couple of big plays by the Bulldogs. In the
third quarter, a costly Terp fumble led to Georgia's go-
ahead touchdown. Seven times the Terrapins were inside
the Georgia 20-yard line, coming away with only nine
points. The Terps' lone touchdown came via Walter White's
68-yard touchdown reception.

The ACC champion Terrapins headed into the 1975
Gator Bowl as a seven-point underdog to the Florida Gators.
However, this did not deter the Terps. who were coming off
their best season (8-2-1) in 20 years. Maryland shut out
the Gators, 13-0, in front of a large pro-Florida crowd in a
steady downpour. The Maryland defense held the SEC's
total offense leader scoreless and intercepted two Florida
passes which led to the first 10 Maryland points. This was
the first Terp win over an SEC team since 1955.

to overcome a 20-1 6 deficit and defeat the Terps, 30-23, in the

quarter, thanks to outstanding play from reserve quarterback
Frank Reich. Reich entered the game in the second quarter
when starter Boomer Esiason suffered a shoulder injury.
Reich's one mistake of the day, an interception early in the
fourth quarter, set the Vols on Maryland's 14-yard line which

them to put that perspective to work. Imparting such a perspective may be an ambitious project for
undergraduate education, but to aim for anything less would be unworthy of a great university's goals
for its students. Thirteen years ago, Promises to Keep, a plan for undergraduate education at Maryland,
articulated those goals so eloquently we repeat them here.
Undergraduate education at Maryland "aims to provide students with a sense of identity and purpose,
a concern for others,^ sense of responsibility for the quality of life around them, a continuing eagerness
for knowledge and understanding, and a foundation for a lifetime of personal enrichment."
As we learn with and from one another, we try to "develop human values,"
"celebrate tolerance and fairness," "contribute to the social conscience," "monitor and assess private
and collective assumptions," and "recognize the glory, tragedy and humor of the human condition."
Your years at the University of Maryland can provide you with all the tools you need to accomplish these goals.
Students here are "educated to be able to read with perception and pleasure, write and speak with clarity and verve,
handle numbers and computation proficiently, reason mathematically, generate clear questions
and find probable arguments, reach substantiated conclusions and accept ambiguity."

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
THE CAMPUS
By virtually every measure of quality, the University of Maryland has gained national
recognition as one of the fastest-rising comprehensive research institutions in the country.
The momentum of recent years has poised the university to move it into the top ranks
of higher education and take leadership in shaping the research university of the 21
century.
The university has enjoyed a decade of momentum in all of the areas that affect quality.
The average high school GPA of entering students has zoomed from 3.01 to nearly 3.90,
and the average SATs are now more than 1270. The student body is a model of diversity,
with minorities making up more than 33 percent of all students, and at least one graduate
and undergraduate student from every state in the nation.
The university has 79 graduate and undergraduate programs ranked in the Top 25 by
U.S. News and World Report, up from just one program in 1991.
Sponsored research and outreach has nearly tripled in the same 10-year period,
exceeding $350 million last year. Private giving also has increased, and the university
last year concluded its first campaign by topping its $350 million goal by more than $100
million. Alumni Association membership has been growing at an average rate of 10 percent
a year since 1992.
One of the largest research universities in the United States, Fall 2005 enrollment
was 25,442 undergraduate and 9,927 graduate students. There are 94 undergraduate
programs, 89 master's programs, 70 doctoral programs and one first professional degree
program. More than 100 centers and institutes are engaged in research and outreach.
Faculty at the University of Maryland, in all fields of knowledge, are engaged at the
highest levels of national and international concern. The university's location near the
center of federal policy-making and international political and economic activity enables it
to play an active role in research and analysis of public policy.
Maryland is one of 30 public universities in the prestigious 63-member Association
of American Universities and the only public institution in the Maryland-D.C. area with
membership in the nation's most distinguished honor society, Phi Beta Kappa.
DID YOU KNOW?
In 1991 , Maryland had one program listed among Top 25 entrants in the U.S.
News & World Report Rankings. Maryland now has 79 programs ranked
I/ among the nation's elite, and the university is ranked 18th nationally among
public universities.
A report card published in Technology Review rated the top U.S. universities
in their quest for intellectual property, commercial partners and profits. Johns
/ Hopkins University and the University of Maryland (28th) were the Mid-
Atlantic (Delaware. Maryland, Virginia, District of Columbia) schools to make
the "campus patenting" top 50 list.
Black Issues In Higher Education ranked the university fourth nationally in
bachelor's degrees earned by African-American students at traditionally white
'/ schools. Maryland ranks first in African-American undergraduate degrees in
social sciences and history.
The Wall Street Journal ranked the Robert H. Smith School of Business No. 1 5
a mong the world's business schools. Maryland is the top-ranked school in the
Mid-Atlantic region (Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia). The
Financial Times of London ranked the Robert H. Smith School of Business
No. 3 in value for money, No. 6 overall among U.S. public business schools
and No. 12 in placement rate.
In the undergraduate program rankings released by US. News & World
Report both the A. James Clark School of Engineenng (No. 22) and the
' Robert H. Smith School of Business (No. 22) were ranked among the top 25.

LIBRARIES
Seven libraries make up the University of Maryland library system: McKeldin
(main) Library, Architecture Library. Art Library. Engineering and Physical Sciences Library,
Hornbake Library, Performing Arts Library and White Memorial (Chemistry) Library.
These libraries constitute the largest university research library institution in the
Washington metropolitan area, providing vital resources to researchers, visiting scholars,
and businesses throughout the region. The libraries' holdings include more than 2.5
million volumes, 24,000 subscriptions to periodicals and nearly 5 million items available in
microfilm format.
RESEARCH
Opportunities for conducting research abound at the University of Maryland,
College Park, and in the surrounding area, both for faculty to advance their own expertise
and bring their insights into the classroom, and for students to begin their exploration of
their unique interests with practical experience. On campus, special facilities and a number
of organized research centers, bureaus and institutes promote the acquisition and analysis
of new knowledge in the arts, sciences and applied fields.
The university's enviable location —just nine miles from downtown Washington,
D.C., and approximately 30 miles from both Baltimore and Annapolis — enhances the
research of its faculty and students by providing access to some of the finest libraries and
research centers in the country.
SERVICE
Programs of public service are central to the overall mission of the university. The
philosophy is reflected in the wide array of programs and initiatives that benefit the state's
business, agriculture and education communities.
With more than 90 high-technology firms in the three-county area of Montgomery,
Prince George's and Frederick counties, the university has found abundant opportunity
to extend its business and technology outreach programs to the region. Many of these
programs are part of the Engineering Research Center, which operates the Technology
Advancement Program and the Maryland Industrial Partnerships, programs designed to
provide Maryland entrepreneurs and small businesses with research facilities, technical
assistance, administrative support and access to technology that will advance their
economic base.
The Institute for Systems Research has formed partnerships with major corporations,
including Lockheed Martin, Westinghouse, BF Goodrich, Hughes Aircraft and Dupont
to apply advanced systems research to solving industry problems in the fields of
communications, manufacturing, controls and robotics.
The university opened the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center in 2001, with its
six state-of-the art performance halls, which has quickly become a center of cultural
programming in the Washington metropolitan area. The university also boasts four art
galleries and a broad range of public art throughout the beautiful campus. Additionally
intercollegiate, club and intramural sports provide students of all levels an opportunity to
participate as spectators or athletes.

PRESIDENT CD. MOTE JR.
In September 1998, C. D. (Dan) Mote, Jr. began his
tenure as President of the University of Maryland and
Glenn L. Martin Institute Professor of Engineering. He was
recruited to lead the University of Maryland to national
eminence under a mandate by the state. Since assuming
the presidency, he has encouraged an environment of
excellence across the University and given new impetus
to the momentum generated by a talented faculty and
student body. Under his leadership, academic programs
have flourished. In 2005, the University was ranked 18th
among public research universities, up from 30th in 1998.
President Mote has emphasized broad access to the
university's model, enriched undergraduate curriculum
programs and launched the Baltimore Incentive Awards
Program to recruit and provide full support to high school
students of outstanding potential who have overcome
extraordinary adversity during their lives.
He has spurred the university to lead the state in
the development of its high-tech economy, especially
in the information and communication, bioscience and
biotechnology, and nano-technology sectors. President
Mote has greatly expanded the university's partnerships
with corporate and federal laboratories and successfully
negotiated to bring to the College Park area the first Science
Research Park sponsored by the People's Republic of
China. Under his leadership, the University has established
a research park, The University of Maryland Enterprise
Campus, M-Square, located on a 115-acre site adjacent

million square feet of development potential. Among its first
tenants are the Center for Advanced Study of Language, a
joint venture of the University and Department of Defense,
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
new World Weather and Climate Prediction Center.
During President Mote's second year in office, the
University began the largest building boom in its history,
with more than $100 million in new projects breaking
ground that year. New facilities address every aspect of
university life, from the arts to recreation to classrooms
and laboratories, and, in creative partnership with the
private sector, new residential facilities. Highlights of the
construction activity include the stunning Clarice Smith
Performing Arts Center; the Comcast Center, a state of the
art sports complex; a high tech research greenhouse; and
new classrooms for chemistry, computer science, business
and engineering. President Mote also led the development
of a new Facilities Master Plan for development in the next
20 years, which is noted for its emphasis on environmental
stewardship.
Dr. Mote is a leader in the national dialogue on higher
education and his analyses of shifting funding models have
been featured in local and national media. He has testified
on major educational issues before Congress, representing
the University and higher education associations on the
problem of visa barriers for international students and
scholars and on deemed export control issues. He has
been asked to serve on a high level National Academies
Committee appointed at the request of the Senate
Energy Subcommittee of the Senate Energy and Natural
Resources Committee to identify challenges to United
States leadership in key areas of science and technology
and to be a member of the Leadership Council of the
National Innovation Initiative, an activity of the Council
on Competitiveness. He has served as vice chair of the
Department of Defense Basic Research Committee, and
is a member of the Council of the National Academy of
Engineering. In 2004-2005, he served as President of
the Atlantic Coast Conference. In its last ranking in 2002,
"Washington Business Forward" magazine counted him
among the top 20 most influential leaders in the region.
Prior to assuming the Presidency at Maryland, Dr. Mote
served on the University of California, Berkeley faculty for
31 years. From 1991 to 1998, he was Vice Chancellor at
Berkeley, held an endowed chair in Mechanical Systems
and was President of the UC Berkeley Foundation He led
a comprehensive capital campaign for Berkeley that raised
$1.4 B. He earlier served as chair of Berkeley's Department
of Mechanical Engineering and led the department to its
number one ranking in the National Research Council
review of graduate program effectiveness.
Dr. Mote's research lies in dynamic systems and
biomechanics. Internationally recognized for his research on
the dynamics of gyroscopic systems and the biomechanics
of snow skiing, he has produced more than 300 publications,
holds patents in the U.S., Norway, Finland and Sweden,
and has mentored 56 Ph.D. students. He received the
B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from
the University of California, Berkeley. President Mote
has received numerous awards and honors, including
the Humboldt Prize awarded by the Federal Republic of
Germany. He is a recipient of the Berkeley Citation, an
award from the University of California-Berkeley similar
to the honorary doctorate, and was named Distinguished
Engineering Alumnus. He has received two honorary
doctorates. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy
of Engineering and serves on its Council, and is a member
of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was
elected to Honorary Membership in the ASME International,
its most distinguished recognition, and is a Fellow of the
International Academy of Wood Science, the Acoustical
Society of America, and the American Association for the
Advancement of Science. In Spring 2005, he was named
recipient of the 2005 J. P. Den Hartog award by the ASME
International Technical Committee on Vibration and Sound

satisfied... our vision is to be one of the Top 5 programs in the
nation consistently... we see no reason to settle for less.'

organized and a strategic and proactive leader and administrator.

Kentucky and University of Florida, she moved into athletics
administration at the University of Flonda and the University of
North Carolina. Greensboro, followed by a successful tenure as
AD at Saint Louis University from 1990 through 1994.

management and human behavior, and is a respected leader in
intercollegiate athletics in the United States.
Summing up the entire Maryland athletes program, our athletics
director recently stated, "We have the finest student-athletes,
coaches, support staff and administrative team in Amenca. It is
because of their courage, hard work and cooperative spirit that
we now have a strong, viable athletic program. I am immensely
proud of each of them. I am equally proud of our Terrapin fans who
buy tickets, our Terrapin Club members who faithfully support the
Maryland athletic program with their donations for scholarships,
and the M Club members who serve and give liberally. We are also
blessed with a terrific President. Dr. Dan Mote, who has fostered
a mindset of excellence across our institution. He is a strong and
balanced advocate for what he calls 'the three As of the University
- Academics, the Arts and Athletics'. We have a great Terrapin
family. That's the foundation for all of our success... and the basis
for our bright future. It's a great time to be a Terp."
