Our goal is to strive to be the best in everything we do.

In the (lassroom, our expectation is that ea<h and every
student-athlete will earn a degree while achieving the
highest possible academic average.

On the field, we expect to become a consistent Top 20
team. Our primary goals are to win the conference
championship and be in a position to contend for the
national title. We will do this by mastering the art of
preparation, which will enable us to perform at our
optimal level.

We will apply the lessons learned through football into
our daily lives. We will learn to be accountable for our
actions, to rely on one another, and always do what's
best for the good of the team.

We will embrace the concept of family through team
bonding and working toward common goals.

We will learn to fight through adversity and to be
winners in every aspect of our lives.

We will develop relationships that last a lifetime.

We will have fun playing the great game of football.

The Gossett Football Team House exponsion project, which
began with the first phase in the Spring of 2002, will improve
the University of Maryland's football facility to better meet • '
the needs of Terrapin student-athletes and recruits through
the expansion of four components:

C^ Expandml academic support and
career development unit

^^ New recruit meeting room/dining
facility with kitchen
New team meeting auditorium
Expanded entrance and lobby

Phase One of the 1 5,500 square-foot renovation included the
creation of an expanded academic support lob. This increased
the existing space dedicated to support and strengthen the aca-
demic and career-achievement initiatives of football student-
athletes by more than 4,000 square feet. In addition, a brand
new video board was finished in time for the 2002 season,
giving fans a more vibrant and exciting experience in Byrd
Stadium with game action and replays shown on a board mea-
suring 21 feet by 28 feet.

Phases Two and Three, completed in the summer of 2004,
include a 3,500 square-foot meeting room and dining facility
which will provide a multi-purpose showcase for hosting recruits
and their fomiiies.

it also includes a new team meeting auditorium which will
give the entire football team the opportunity to meet together
in one room, allowing the coaching staff to teach using state-of-
the-art technology in on environment that has sufficient seating
space for all the players. This addition will help transform the
staff's capability to effectively present offensive and defensive
gome plans.

The construction also includes on enhanced entrance and
lobby for the Gossett Team fiouse that will showcase the
program's tradition, importance and success. An impressive first
impression for recruits and visitors, the entronce and lobby will
highlight the rich post of Maryland football ond will showcase
the Terps' return to national prominence.

Attendance at Byrd Stadium has continued to reach record -

levels over the last four years. In 2004, Maryland averaged ;.

5 1 ,4 1 through the turnstiles at Byrd, beating the school- : |||^,f ^;<rWr41^

record mark set the previous season. Maryland has averaged

more than 43,000 fans at home over each of the last four * ^ . . . .

Perhaps never in the history of Maryland
Athletics has a coach overseen a more
immediate and dramatic turnaround of
his team's fortunes than Ralph Friedgen,
the consensus national Coach of the Year
in 2001, vi/ho is tied for the lOth-most
number of wins by a head coach in the
first four years of his career in NCAA
history.

Friedgen's rookie season included an ACC
title, a BCS appearance in the FedEx
Orange Bowl, and a final ronking of No.
10... Maryland finished each of the next
two seasons by winning 1 of its last 1 1
games, including dominating perfor-
mances in postseason bowls (30-3 over
Tennessee in the 2002 Chick-fil-A Peach
Bowl and 41-7 over West Virginia in the
2004 Toyota Gator Bowl).

A high-powered, exciting offense that
has resulted in bock-to-back scoring
records... an attacking suffocating
defensive style... standout special teams
play — all have been hallmarks of
Friedgen's Terrapin teams, as they have
posted a 36-14 record the past four
seasons.

Those of us who watched Coach Friedgen for all those
years as on assistant knew that If any school wouM K
finally hove the good sense to hire him, he would be a
dynamic head coach. His first three years at Maryland
hove certainly proven to be true. Everyone knew he
hod a brilliant offensive mind, but now Coach Friedgen
bos shown that he has the complete package of skills
to make Maryland an annual contenaer for the ACC
championship. Ralph Friedgen is the real deal.

Ralph Friedgen sees plays
and patterns invisible to
every other naked eye.
And if anyone on defense
does see them, they see
them a step too late.
More important, Ralph
bos the skill to teach what
he sees to his pkiyers.

You always hear about
great middleweights who
are 'pound for pound' the
best fighters in the world.
That's meant as a compliment
to smaller men. Ralph is not
a small man, but pound for
pound he's still the best
offensive coach in the
country. ■■

The Atlantic Coast Conference has o
brand new look for the 2005-06
year, its 53rd in existence. The new
year brings Boston College into the
conference, and with last year's addi-
tion of Virginia Tech and Miami, the
ACC is now one of the top leagues in
all of college football.

ACC teams have won two of the
last six national championships, five
titles since 1 990 and nine national
crowns overall since the 1981
season.

The ACC now features three teams
who have played in five of the first
six BCS National Championship
games.

For the fourth straight year, the
ACC had at least six teams take part
in postseason play. The ACC is one of
only three l-A conferences to have
had each of its current league
members participate in o postseason
bowl game since 1993. In 2002, the
ACC set an NCAA record for the per-
centage of teams in a conference
make the postseason, when seven of
the then-nine teams earned bids.

The ACC set two attendance
records in 2004 when 3,693,032
fans attended league games, for a
record per-game average of 55,655.
It was the fifth straight year the ACC
broke the per-game mark.

The ACC remains the all-time win-
ningest conference in bowl action
among leagues with 50 or more
appearances. The ACC is 1 6-9 in bowl
gomes the past four years and has
the best bowl winning percentage (.
640) among all BCS conferences.

Parity ruled in 2004, as 20 of the
44 ACC gomes were decided by seven
points or less, inclucfing four overtime
gomes.

For the second straight season, the
ACC was the top-ranked conference in
the final Sagarin Computer rankings.

offs against Houston, he also commanded the greatest comeback
in the college game as well. On Nov. 10, 1984, Reich replaced
Stan Gelbaugh at halftime against No. 6 Miami (Flo.) down 31-
0. Thirty minutes later, Maryland pulled off the miracle upset,
42-40, preserving its run for a second consecutive ACC title. He

Boomer Esiason and Frank Reich before moving into the Terps'
starting lineup in 1984 when Reich went down with a shoulder
injury. Gelbaugh stepped in to lead Maryland to four wins and a
narrow one-point loss on the road to Penn State. The following
season, the antidpation of Gelbaugb's return brought the Terps
a preseason No. 1 ranking by Sport magazine. The Terps went

school history and helped earn him honorable mention
All-America recognition from Football News. He was^L
taken in the fourth round of the 1991 NFL draft by tfie
New England Patriots.

SCOTT MILANOVICH (1993-95) — He left
campus as one of the most decorated Terrapin QBs •^^"^
ever. In fact, Milanovich still owns or shares 31 Mary"?^*^
land passing records, induding career standards for
passing yards (7,30 1 ), toudidowns (49) and comple- J

tions (650). He was drafted in 1 996 by the Tampa Bay '
Buccaneers. _,

SHAUN HILL (2000-2001) — He came to Mar

had hopes for Scott McBrien as high as the gods he
wodd accomplish in his two years as a Maryland
starter. The southpaw transfer from West Virginia 1.
the Terrapins to 21 wins in his two years as a starter
- most by any Terp QB in two years - and was none,
most vdiHible player of the Peodi and Gator Bowls. A

Important to any college program are
walk-on players, who not only make a dif-
ference in aiding o teom's depth and conti-
nuity, but can also earn their own
scholarship and bid for significant playing
time.

Take the case of Chad Scott. After
playing two seasons at Towson in 1993
and 1994, Scott chose to walk on at
Maryland, uninvited. By the end of his
first semester on campus, Scott was
awarded a scholarship and became a Ter-
rapin co-captain for his senior year in
1 996. The rest is history. Scott was a first
round draft choice of the Pittsburgh Steel-
ers in 1 997 and is now a member of the
World Champion New England Patriots.

Scott exemplifies the ultimate walk-on
scenario. However, every season at Mary-
land, there ore walk-on players who find
their niche and contribute greatly to the
Terrapins' program. With recent scholar-
ship reductions, walk-on players have
become a vital component to the rebuilding
of Maryland football fortunes.

Another example is receiver Jermaine
Arrington, who walked on and was the
Terps' leading receiver in 1998, moving on
to sign a free-agent contract with the San
Francisco 49ers.

The latest Maryland player to go from
walk-on to standout is former safety
Madieu Williams, a transfer from Towson
who became the first Terrapin picked in
the 2003 NFL Draft, going in the second
round to the Gncinnati Bengals. Williams
was one of the top defensive rookies in
the NFL in 2004, finishing with 103
tockles, three interceptions and two sacks
OS a starting cornerback.

HEAD COACH

RALPH FRIEDGEN

Maryland '70 • Fifth Year at Maryland

Ralph Friedgen,
the winningest fourth-
year coach in Atlantic
Coast Conference history,
enters his fifth year at the
University of Maryland with
a reputation as one of the
top coaches in the game.

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 alma mater's
football program, guiding the Terps to a 36-14 record and
a trio of major bowl appearances - including two decisive
wins ~ in his four seasons as a collegiate head coach.

Not only are his 36 wins more than any other fourth-
year coach in AGO history, but in his first three seasons
at the helm of the Terrapin program, he became the first
coach in conference lore to lead a team to three-straight
seasons of 10 wins or more. In addifion, his 36 wins in four
years rank him in the top 10 in NCAA history, surpassing
the fourth year marks of coaches such as Frank Leahy and
Joe Paterno.

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 (36) in the four seasons under Friedgen
than they had in the nine seasons prior to his arrival (35).
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 Fnedgen was an assistant to Bobby Ross
in the 1980s.

Four 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. 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. The Terrapins' 2004 season
was the first without 10 wins under Friedgen, but it did not
go without highlights as the young team beat Florida State
for the first time in school history.

Friedgen's Terps have gone to bowl games in three
of four 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.

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 58-year-old Friedgen (pronounced FREE-junj
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).

Friedgen spent 20 seasons with the aforementioned
Ross in coaching stops at The Citadel, Maryland, Georgia
Tech and the NFLs San Diego Chargers. He returned to
Tech in 1997, where he served another successful sfint as
offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under good
friend George O'Leary.

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 stints at The Citadel (1973-79), William & Mary
(1980) and Murray State (1981). In '82, 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 consecufive
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 re-insfilled in his current group of Terrapins.

The Ross-Friedgen connection began in 1973,
when Ross hired the former Maryland offensive lineman
as defensive line coach at The Citadel. Friedgen spent
seven seasons at The Citadel, the last three as offensive
coordinator and offensive line coach. Fnedgen then
worked one season (1980) as
offensive coordinator at
iam & Mary and
one season
(1981) as

On Friedgen...

"Some people look at a football field and see hash marks and yard lines. Ralph Friedgen sees plays and
patterns invisible to every other naked eye. And if anyone on defense does see them, they see them a step too late.
More important, Ralph has the skill to teach what he sees to his players."

"You always hear about great middleweights who are "pound for pound" the best fighters in the worid. That's
meant as a compliment to smaller men, Ralph is not a small man, but pound for pound he's still the best offensive
coach in the country."

- Ivan Maisel, ESPN.com

On Friedgen...

"The thing that is most impressive to me about Ralph Friedgen is that he adapts to personnel changes
and the shifts that you see in the course of a game unlike many coaches you will find in the college game. He is
a coach that gives you a secure feeling that — no matter how many players leave the program through graduation
or through the NFL - this is a team that will never feel like it is rebuilding. That it will always be on a steady flow
upward,

"I think great leaders have a certain aura that you can't pinpoint and he is a tremendous leader because
he gives such a secure, confident feeling to the fans and anybody associated with the program that a solid job is
going to be done and that Maryland is going to be in contention year-in and year-out "

from 1984-97, Reich from 1985-98 and Gelbaugh from

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 Friedgen 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 Friedgen's guidance in

1990, '91 and '98. The 1999

team, with the diminutive Joe

Hamilton at quarterback, set

59 school records, rewriting

many marks established by the

1990 national championship

team, which was led by

another Fnedgen pupil, Shawn

Jones (1989-92). Fnedgen was

a finalist for the Broyles Award as

the nations top assistant coach

in 1998 when the Rambling Wreck

set a ttien-school record with 50

touchdowns.

On Friedgen...

"Those of us who watched Coach Friedgen for all those years as an assistant i(new that if any school would
finally have the good sense to hire him, he would be a dynamite head coach. His first three years at IVIaryland have
certainly proven that to be true.

"Everyone knew he had a brilliant offensive mind, but now Coach Friedgen has shown that he has the
complete package of skills to make Maryland an annual contender for the ACC championship, Ralph Friedgen is
the real deal."

-Tony Barnhart, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

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 capturing Academic AII-ACC honors.
He was a two-time winner of the George C. Cook IVIemorial
Award (1968-69) for having the highest academic average
on the football team.

"Coach Friedgen is an experienced and consistently
successful football coach who also has a passion for
Maryland," said Maryland athletics director Deborah A. Yow.
"He understandstheACC, embraces Maryland's philosophy
of the student-athlete, and has a clear and complete vision
for returning Maryland to national prominence."

Because of his obvious ties to Maryland as a
university and a state, Friedgen has stated implicitly that he
wants to keep the area's best players at home.

"I think that has to be the main focus of our recruiting,"
said Friedgen, ""We have to get the better players from the
state. Not every player is meant to come to the University
of Maryland, but a large portion of them should. I know a
lot of coaches in this area and they know me from the last
time I was here, a lot of the coaches are former Maryland
players and I think it is time the Maryland community
unites. We have a Terrapin now as the head coach. The
alumni, the fans, the former players; we all have to become
a strong force. Part of that is going to be recruiting in the
state and I am going to rely on those former players to get
the better prep players to stay in state."

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.

Friedgen and his wife, the
former Glona Spina, have three
daughters: Kelley Kristina and
Katie. Gloria is currently serving
as an adjunct professor at the
University of Maryland: Kelley
passed the bar and is currently
in Germany on a law fellowship;
Kristina is in her second year in the
theater program at Maryland; and
Katie is a student at Sherwood High
School.

"I grew up watching Maryland football, first with Jerry
Claiborne and then with Bobby Ross, and what Ralph Friedgen
has done in three years is restore all of the luster to the program
that those guys built. The tradition that they established, he
took years of dust off of it and shined it probably brighter than
when those great coaches were here.

"I think that what is most exciting for all of us who are
Terrapin fans is to see where it is that he takes the program
from here. Because when he gets all of his guys in there - look
out. There is no reason to believe that Ralph can't take Terrapin
football to heights it has never seen before."

Maryland grad

CHARLIE TAAFFE

Siena '73 • Fifth Year at IVIaryland

Charlie Taaffe Is
in his fifth season as
offensive coordinator and
quarterbacks coach for the
Maryland Terrapins.

Since Taaffe's arrival,
the Terps have earned the
respect of opponents with a balanced attack that can beat
opponents both on the ground and through the air Last
season w/as the offense's toughest in the last four years, but
the season still produced a near-win on the road against the
nation's No. 7 team (West Virginia) and the school's first-
ever victory over Florida State, then ranked No. 5. A year
earlier, Taaffe helped guide the Terps through a myriad of
injury problems to flnlsh the season ranked in the top 30
nationally in four offensive categories (rushing (24th), total
offense (28th), scoring (27th) and pass efficiency (26th)).
It was a season that began with some difficulty, but ended
with Maryland rolling to an average 514.6 yards of offense
in Its last five games.

In 2002, the Terps set a school record for points
scored with 451 while finishing second in the ACC In rushing
(198.8 ypg) and scoring (32.2 ppg) offense. Taaffe helped
guide quarterback Scott McBrien from what seemed like a
possible eariy season liability into an honorable mention
all-league performer who finished 12th nationally In pass
efficiency.

In his first year, Taaffe was able to steer Maryland to
390 points (then a school record as well), or an average
of 35.5 per outing. The Terps' 439.7 yards of total offense
per game were tops In the ACC. Taaffe's expertise in the
option helped the team to an average of 220.7 yards per
game on the ground, second-best in the league. From an
individual standpoint, Shaun Hill flourished at quarterback,
becoming the leader of the offense en route to a second
team AII-ACC selection.

Before making his way to Maryland, Taaffe spent two
years with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football
League, where he served as head coach in 1999 and 2000.
With Taaffe at the helm, the Alouettes had a combined 25-
14 record (back-to-back 12-6 regular seasons and a 1-2
playoff record) and advanced to the 2000 Grey Cup finals.
For his efforts in 1999 and 2000, Taaffe was named CFL
Coach of the Year, making him only the second Montreal
coach to earn such distinction (Marv Levy being the first In
1 974) and the first coach In league history to earn the honor
In each of his first two years. He also earned the same
distinction from the Canadian Football Writers Association.
All together, Taaffe spent four years In Montreal, as he
served two years as the Alouettes' offensive coordinator
before taking over as head coach.

While in Canada, Taaffe's offenses put up some lofty
numbers. In 2000, the Alouettes broke the all-time league
record for points in a regular season as they posted 594.
Taaffe helped quarterback Anthony Calvillo to a 1 12 9 pass

efficiency rating In 2000 after a 108.9 rating led the league
Former Boston College back Mike Pringle also excelled
Taaffe's system, as he ran for a league-best 1 ,656 yards
in 1999.

Prior to his stint north of the border, Taaffe was
the head coach at The Citadel from 1987-96. Taaffe
took the Bulldogs to new heights In his 10 years with
the Division l-AA school as he won more games than
any coach in the history of the school. Prior to his
tenure. The Citadel had not won a league game or
road game in more than two seasons. Under Taaffe,
the Bulldogs won a Southern Conference championship,
finished a regular season (1992) ranked No. 1 In the
country and advanced to the Division l-AA playoffs three
times. He was the 1992 recipient of the Eddie Robinson
Award (which recognizes the top coach in Division l-AA),
the Southern Conference Coach of the Year In 1988 and
'90, and the Kodak Region II Coach of the Year In those
same seasons. In addition, his teams beat six different
Division l-A opponents (in 12 tries), including upsets of
South Carolina (1990) and Arkansas (1992), and four of
his teams were ranked in the final national l-AA poll (14th
in 1988; 15th in 1990; 20th In 1991; 1st In 1992).

His 1 992 team was arguably the best In The Citadel's
history as It finished 11-2, was the top ranked team at the
end of the regular season, and fell to the eventual champ
(Youngstown State) in the quarterfinals. For his efforts in
'92, Taaffe was named AFCA Division l-AA National Coach
of the Year His overall record at The Citadel was 55-47-1,
with six seasons of .500 or better.

Taaffe came to The Citadel after a successful stint
as an offensive assistant at the U.S. Military Academy
from 1981-86. In the three years Taaffe served as Army's
offensive coordinator, the Cadets had a combined record
of 23-13.

Taaffe's ties to the Atlantic Coast Conference are
strong. Before his stint at The Citadel, Taaffe coached at
three different ACC schools for a total of seven years. From
1 976-80, he was an assistant at Virginia where he coached
the offensive backfield, linebackers and special teams. His
position with the Cavaliers came on the heels of graduate
asslstantshlps with NC State (1975, backs) and Georgia
Tech (1974, receivers).

The 1973 season was Taaffe's first as a coach at the
collegiate level as he was an offensive backfield coach at
Albany (NY) State College. The position came right after
his graduation from Siena College in Siena, N.Y, where
he was a quarterback for three years and earned a B.A.
In education in 1973. He was Inducted Into Siena's Athletic
Hall of Fame in 1990.

Born April 20, 1950, Taaffe is married to the former
Jan Anderson, a former athletic trainer at Army The couple
has one son, Brian, an aspiring young athlete who was
bom March 17, 1989.

GARY BLACKNEY

Connecticut '67 • Fifth Year at iVIaryland

Garv Blackney
is in his fifth season as
the Terrapins' defensive
coordinator and secondary
coach.

In four seasons,
Blackney has taken the
Maryland defense and transformed it from a liability to one
of the best units in the nation. In each of his four years, the
Terps have finished the season in the nation's top 30 in
sconng defense, with the 2004 team's 27th ranking being
the only time the team finished outside of the top 20, In
fact, only one school (Georgia) has finished higher than
Maryland in the NCAA rankings each of those four years.

Last season, the Terrapins were put in one tough
spot after another but remained one of the nation's
best units, particularly in the pass defense department,
Maryland finished 21st nationally in total defense (315,3
ypg) while ranking eighth in pass defense (172.3 ypg) and
16th in pass efficiency (106,59) while allowing just seven
passing TDs all year The defense produced two first team
AII-ACC players in DE Shawne Memman and LB D'Qwell
Jackson while Memman was the 12th overall selection of
the 2005 NFL Draft,

In 2003, the Terp defense was the rock while the
offense took a few games early to get on track. In the
end, the team finished ranked in the nation's top 25 in
pass efficiency defense (17th, 105,86), total defense
(15th, 308.4 ypg), scoring defense (sixth, 15.9 ppg) and
pass defense (12th, 179,0 ypg). That season, all four of
Blackney's starling defensive backs earned all-conference
recognition.

In 2002, the Terrapin defense ranked first in the ACC
and seventh nationally in scoring, allowing a paltry 16.3
points per game. In addition, the Maryland rushing and
passing defense each ranked in the top three in the league
while the team was second in the conference in sacks (37)
and red-zone defense.

Under Blackney's guidance in 2001, the Terrapin
defense led the ACC in sconng defense (19.1 ppg), rushing
defense (90,6 ypg) and sacks (37), In addition, the Terps
were second nationally in interceptions (24) and tied for
seventh in turnovers forced with 34, The 24 interceptions
were the most by a Maryland team in 51 years.

Prior to coming to Maryland, Blackney most recently
served as the head coach at Bowling Green State
University, He resigned his post following the final game
of the 2000 season after 10 successful years with the
pnjgram and an overall record of 60-50-2 (47-32-2, Mid-
American Conference). The BGSU job was his first as a
head coach and his 60 wns ranlted third on the schools
all-time list when he took the Maryland job.

Blackney left Bowling Green as the only coach in
school history to win a bowl game, as he led the Falcons
to victories in the 1991 California Raisin Bowl (28-21 over

Fresno State) and the 1992 Las Vegas Bowl (35-34 over
Nevada). With 11 wins in 1991 and 10 in 1992, he is the
only coach in BGSU history to have back-to-back seasons
of 10 wins or more. In doing so, he also became one of
just three coaches ever to have been named Mid-American
Conference Coach of the Year in consecutive seasons.
Other honors at Bowling Green included being named
a finalist for Football News' National Coach of the Year
award in 1 991 as well as two selections as AFCA Region 3
Coach of the Year (in '91 and '92).

The 1991 season was Blackney's first as a head
coach, and with 11 wins that year, he tied an NCAA
record for most wins by a first-year head coach. In fact,
his career at Bowling Green began with a MAC-record 19
straight conference wins and a 22-game unbeaten streak
in the first two years. But the accolades did not end on the
playing field for Blackney When he left, he was the only
coach from the MAC to have his recruiting classes receive
the American Football Coaches Association Academic
Achievement Award (70 percent or better graduation rate)
each year of the award's existence. His first recruiting class
(1991-92) finished with one of the top marks in the nation
at 93 percent.

Prior to taking over at Bowling Green, Blackney was
an assistant coach for 21 years. After serving as a graduate
assistant at his alma mater, Connecficut, in 1968 and '69,
he got his first full-time position in 1970 as a defensive
backs coach at Brown, He then spent two seasons (1973-
74) as offensive backs coach at Rhode Island.

From there his stint serving big-time programs began,
often alongside some of the game's most recognized
names. From 1975-77, he was a defensive backs coach
and ultimately defensive coordinator (1977) at Wisconsin.
After three years with the Badgers, he moved to the west
coast and UCLA where he worked as a defensive backs
coach under Terry Donahue. In 1980, Blackney came
back east to Syracuse where he held the same post fi'om
1980-83 under Dick MacPherson. His final coaching spot
before Bowling Green was at Ohio State where he began
his tenure in 1984 as a defensive backs coach under Earle
Bnjce and ended as an inside linebackers coach fi'om
1988-90 under John Cooper. In between (1985-87), he
was the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator

Of all of his positions, however, none had the eventual
name power that could match that of his playing days at
Connecticut. In Ston^. he was on a team that featured
names such as Rick Forzano, Lou Holtz, former Cleveland
Browns head coach Sam Rutigliano, as well as eventual
NFL assistants Dave Adolph and Dan Sekanovich.

A 1967 graduate and fonner ainning back/defensive
back at UConn, Blackney is a native of Plainview, N.Y, and
was bom in Astoria, NY He and his wife, Lauretta, have
four children (Debbie, David, Kyle and Gary, Jr.) and four
grandchildren (Kerie, Jamie, Abby and Celia).

TIM BANKS

Central Michigan '95 • Third Year at Maryland

Tim Banks enters
his third season at the
University of Maryland,
serving as the Terrapins'
inside linebackers coach
after joining the staff in
2003, Banks came to
College Park from the University of Memphis,

In his first two seasons with the Terps, Banks helped
coach a linebacking unit that was one of the keys to a
defense that has been consistently among the national
leaders since 2001. Under his tutelage, D'Qwell Jackson
has become one of the top linebackers in the country,
earning first team AII-ACC honors in 2004 while finishing a
close second in Defensive Player of the Year voting for the
league, Jackson led the ACC and finished IT in the NCAA
in tackles with 123 while pacing a Terp defense that ranked
21" nationally allowing just 315,3 yards per game.

Banks joined the Tiger staff when former Clemson
head coach Tommy West took the reins of the Memphis
program in 01 , He oversaw outside linebackers in his first
season in Memphis before taking over as cornerbacks
coach for the 2002 campaign. In his first season
coaching cornerbacks, the Tigers finished ninth
in Division l-A in pass defense, allowing
an average of just 165,8 yards per

game.

Now entering his 10th year of coaching at the
collegiate level, Banks is another Terrapin coach with ties
to the current staff. Prior to his being hired at Memphis,
Banks served as defensive backs coach at Bowling Green
State under current Terp defensive coordinator Gary
Blackney. Like his first season coaching cornerbacks at
Memphis. Banks' first season coaching defensive backs at
Bowling Green offered immediate results as the Falcons
tripled their interception total from the previous year.

In addition to coaching under Blackney Banks also
served alongside current Terp assistant Al Seamonson,
who was the Falcons' linebackers coach in 2000. All told,
Banks spent two years as a full-time coach at BGSU --
both during the Blackney regime -- serving one (1999) as
a running backs coach and the other (2000) in charge of
the defensive backs.

Bowling Green was also the site of the start of Banks'
coaching career as he was the school's graduate assistant
for the 1996 season after completing his collegiate playing
career. After serving that season working with the Falcons'

defense, he was hired to his first full-time post, coaching
defensive backs at Ferris State University in Big Rapids,
Mich. In his two seasons, he worked as the Bulldogs'
defensive backs coach while also having a hand in the
passing game and special teams.

A four-year letterwinner at cornerback for Central
Michigan, Banks graduated in 1995 with a bachelor of
science degree in industrial management. In his time with
the Chippewas, Banks earned All-Mid-American Conference
honors as a junior and a senior while also being named his
team's most valuable defensive back in those seasons. A
team co-captain his senior year. Banks finished his career
with over 200 tackles and a pair of interceptions.

Born December 1 6, 1 971 , Banks is a native of Detroit,
Mich. He and his wife. Robin, were marned in 1994.

Tom Brattan is in his
fifth season as the Terps'
offensive line coach. He
boasts 33 years of coaching
expenence, including 23 at
the collegiate level.

The Maryland

offensive line has been one of the strengths under
Brattan since 2001, producing six first team all-conference
performers, including guard C.J. Brooks in 2004. The 2003
season was one of Brattan's most challenging, yet rewarding
seasons as a collegiate coach. The '03 Terrapin offensive
line suffered through injury after injury - specifically at the
guard position - but Brattan continued to field a unit that
fought and clawed until the Maryland offense got on track.
In the end. Brooks was named first team AII-ACC, and
center Kyle Schmitt had his best season, posting the team's

highest grade. Despite the early injury trouble, the Terps
finished the season allowing just 20 sacks while ranking
second in the league and 24* nationally in rushing offense
(191.3 ypg).

In 2002, Brattan directed a group that was among
the most decorated in the ACC. Four of five starters in '02
earned AII-ACC recognition. The honors were a product
of the Terrapins' continued success on offense, as they
boasted the league's second-rated rushing (198.8 ypg) and
sconng (32.2 ppg) offense while allowing just 21 sacks in
14 games.

The Terps' success in year two was a perfect follow-
up to their offensive start in 2001 , a season that saw them
average 35.5 points per game, allow just 18 sacks (third-
best in the ACC) and pave the way for a Doak Walker-
finalist season by tailback Bruce Perry (1,242 yards).
From an individual standpoint, two of Brattan's linemen
(Melvin Fowler and Todd Wike) earned first team AII-ACC
recognition, with Fowler also being named a finalist for the
Rimington Award and ultimately being picked in the third
round of the NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.

Prior to coming to Maryland, Brattan spent hvo years
at Stanford University, where he served as the Cardinal's
offensive line coach in charge of centers and guards. Of
the two years Brattan spent with the Cardinal, 1 999 was the
brightest. Stanford went 8-4 that season and had wins over
Anzona, UCLA, Oregon State and Notre Dame on the way
to a Rose Bowl bid. The '99 Stanford offense scored at least
31 points in all but three games and hit the 50-point plateau
three times. That year, Brattan's offensive line allowed a
paltry 15 sacks despite 385 passing attempts (an average
of one sack for every 27 attempts).

Brattan took his first job at the collegiate level at
William & Mary in 1983 as an offensive backfield coach.
After just one season, he was promoted to offensive
coordinator and served the remainder of his tenure (1984-
91) in that capacity. He also worked with the offensive
line at William & Mary. While Brattan was there, the Tribe
advanced to the NCAA Division l-AA playoffs three times.
From 1986 to 1990. William & Mary earned national
rankings in three seasons (No. 9 in 1986; No. 13 in
1989; No. 7 in 1990). The success was largely a
product of Brattan's offense as his unit ranked
in the top 20 in offense in 1985 and '86, while
it had the top-rated attack in Division l-AA for
the 1990 season and the sixth-best in '91.

Brattan took his success at the l-AA
level to his next job. Northwestern, where
he resided from 1992-98 as offensive line
coach. In Brattan's first three years at the
school, the Wildcats continued their struggle
to regain their winning ways, pushing their
streak of seasons without a winning mark to 23

Then in 1995, the Wildcats were in the
national spotlight as they came seemingly out of

nowhere to win the Big Ten championship for the first time
in 47 years and advance to the Rose Bowl where they
ultimately fell to Southern California. They finished thai
season — despite the Rose Bowl loss — ranked seventh ir
the nation with a 10-2 record. Brattan's offensive line playec
a huge role in the team's success, as it allowed just eigh
sacks all year while helping propel Darnell Autry to a new
school rushing record. As a team. Northwestern finishec
fifth nafionally that season in rushing.

The Wildcats went on to post a combined 15-1
conference record in 1995 and 1996, taking the Big Ter
crown both years after having won just five league game;
in the previous three years. In '96, they earned a bid to play
Tennessee in the Citrus Bowl.

Brattan got his start in coaching as a graduate
assistant at his alma mater, Delaware, in 1972. After one
year in Newark, he took his first full-time coaching post a
Highland Spnngs (Va.) High School as an offensive line
coach. After three years (1973-75) at Highland Springs
he moved back to his home state and took his first heac
coaching job at McKean High School in 1977. He spen
one year at McKean - the same high school that helper
produce Maryland legend Randy White - before movinc
back to Virginia and taking over as the head coach a
Lloyd C. Bird High School. After serving at Bird in 1978, he
returned to Highland Springs — this time as a head coact
— for his final four years (1979-82) at the prep level. Tha
final stint was a successful one, as he led HSHS to one
Central Region and three district championships in his fou:
years,

The 2003 season was a strong year for Rychleski,
as his tight ends and special teamers both made headway
TE Jeff Dugan continued to impress as one of the top
blocking tight ends in the country while Novak had his
second consecutive 100-point season, earning first team
AII-ACC honors and being named a Lou Groza semifinalist.
Podlesh - the first Terp freshman ever to be honored by
the league - was a Ray Guy semifinalist with his 42.3-
yard average and Suter - though hobbled - returned
two punts for touchdowns, repeating as a first team
all-conference pick.

In 2002, Rychleski saw Dugan earned
honorable mention AII-ACC status, while the special
teams had three first team AII-ACC performers.
Novak finished his sophomore season ranked fifth
in the NCAA in field goals and 16"^ in scoring, and
Brooks Barnard led the ACC in punting and finished
12* nationally with a 43.1 -yard average. But while the
Terrapin return game was nearly an afterthought the year
before, Suter blossomed under Rychleski's guidance into
one of the top return men in the country. Suter finished 2002
with an ACC-record 771 punt return yards while finishing
second in the conference in kick return average and tying
an NCAA record with four punt returns for a touchdown.

The 2002 season came on the heels of an inaugural
season that saw Maryland tight ends and specialists
shine as well. In 2001, Matt Murphy went from a player in
search of a position to a tight end displaying enough skills
to be selected by the Detroit Lions in the 2002 NFL Draft.
Highlights from Rychleski's special teams units included the
fourth-best net punting average in the nation, first team AII-
ACC recognition for Barnard, and Novak earning honorable
mention all-conference status in just his first year

Prior to coming to College Park, Rychleski served
for eight years at Wake Forest University where his tenure
could best be described as diverse. For the 1999 and
2000 seasons, Rychleski was the Demon Deacons' tight
ends coach while also serving as the team's special teams
coordinator For the three years prior to becoming tight
ends coach and special teams coordinator (1996-98), he
worked with WFU's outside linebackers. Dunng his first
three seasons at Wake (1993-95), Rychleski coached the
defensive line.

Rychleski began his coaching career on the prep
level in Pennsylvania in 1979 before heading to Temple
University, where he took a position as a graduate assistant.
After a short time as the Owls' graduate assistant, he was
promoted into his first full-time collegiate coaching post.
He spent eight years at Temple (1981-88) before heading
to Northeastern (1989-90) as a defensive coordinator/
inside linebackers coach. After two years at Northeastern,
Rychleski spent a year at Penn State (1991, graduate
assistant) and one summer with the Toronto Argonauts
(1992, defense) as a volunteer assistant.

In 1992, Rychleski was hired as a special team
coordinator and defensive backs coach at East Stroudsbur
University where he helped the Warriors to their best recor
in 1 3 years. After his bnef stint there, he left for Wake Fore;
in 1993.

A native of Old Forge, Pa., Rychleski earned hi

Ray Rychleski in working
with special teams. In
2004. his unit will consist
of the strongside linebacker position as well as one of the
defensive ends (the 'drop end), as the Terps' defensive
scheme switched to a 4-3 last year.

In four years in College Park, Seamonson has quickly

organized defensive football coach. Last season, he
helped Shawne Merriman to a first team AII-ACC nod as
the third-year player ended up second in the ACC in sacks
and tackles for loss en route to being the 12th overall pick
of the 2005 NFL Draft. In addition, the development of
"Sam" linebacker David Holloway - a former walk-on - was
one of the pleasant surprises of the 2004 season as the
sophomore finished fifth on the team in tackles and tied for
the team lead in fumble recovenes.

In 2003. Seamonson helped lead a defense that was
again one of the top units in the nation in scoring (sixth) and
total defense (15th). Memman finished the season with the
second-most sacks in the ACC, In '02, he helped coach

a Terp defense that ranked first in the ACC and seventh
nationally in scoring, allowing just 16.3 points per game.
In addition, the Maryland rushing and passing defense
each ranked in the top three in the league while the team
was second in the conference in sacks (37) and red-zone
defense. Seamonson 's outside linebackers were a source
of both steady improvement and big plays while Merriman
was named to The Sporling News' ACC All-Rookie team.
All of this came on the heels of a team that had the nation's
fourth-best turnover margin (+1 .45 average) and the ACC's
lowest scoring defense (19.1 points per game) in his first
season on the job in 2001.

Seamonson boasts 22 years of collegiate coaching
experience. Prior to coming to Maryland, he spent the
2000 season at Bowling Green State University — where
he worked under current Terp defensive coordinator Gary
Blackney — as the Falcons' special teams coordinator
and linebackers coach. In his lone year at Bowling Green,

Bulldogs led Division l-AA in sconng defense, yielding just
13.0 points per contest en route to a Southern Conference
championship while advancing to the l-AA playoffs for the
third time in five years.

The Citadel was not Seamonson's first taste of the
military life, however, as he was a linebackers coach at
the U.S. Military Academy (Army) in West Point N.Y.. for
the 1985 and '86 seasons. In his first season at Army, the
Cadets were one of the surprise teams in the country as
they won the 1985 Peach Bowl, 31-29, over Illinois. It was
one of just four times in the Academy's history that it had
gone to a bowl game.

A 1982 graduate of Wisconsin and a two-year
letterwinner for the Badgers at wide receiver, Seamonson
got his start in coaching in Madison. In 1982, he served as
a volunteer coach for Wisconsin's wide receivers. He then
was a graduate assistant for the next two years where he
worked for the Badgers' secondary unit.

Bom September 7, 1959, in
Stoughton, Wis., Seamonson was
a wide receiver at Stoughton High
School and was a captain for the all-
state Shrine Team in 1977. He and
his wife, Kristi, have three children:
Kylen, Kalvin and Karter.

Seamonson helped the Falcons produce
a defensive unit that ranked fourth in
the MAC in mshing defense and total
defense.

Seamonson's coaching tenure
prior to BGSU was weighted heavily
in military settings. From 1987-99,
he coached at The Citadel, where
he started as a wide receivers coach
(1987) before serving the remainder of
his tenure (1988-99) as special teams
coordinator and linebackers coach. At
The Citadel, Seamonson coached under
cun'ent Terp offensive coordinator Chariii

depth, and turned it into a rock-solid unit that helped anchor
one of the top defenses in the ACC as the team led the

coordinator Chariie Taaffe), Sollazzo
coached Brad Keeney to All-America
honors and Southern Conference-leading
totals in sacks and tackles for loss in
1995. In addition, he coached nine other
defensive linemen to all-conference honors
while with the Bulldogs. The highlight of
his coaching career in Charleston, however,
may have been his involvement in helping The
Citadel in 1992 to the Southern Conference
championship and a No. 1 ranking at the end of
the regular season. That '92 squad led the nation

in scoring defense at 13 points per game and finished six
in pass efficiency defense. In 1997, he was a part of c
impressive defensive effort in which the Bulldogs finishe
their season by not allowing a touchdown in their final 1
quarters.

Along with his ties to Maryland and The Citadf
Sollazzo has an extensive history in prep coaching. With tf
exception of the Maryland job in 1984 (a season that sa
the Terps win the ACC and earn a berth in the Sun Bow
Sollazzo was a high school defensive coordinator in Sou
Carolina from 1978-85.

Sollazzo was born in the same hometown as Friedge
Harnson, NY, on Chnstmas Eve, 1955, and earned h
degree from The Citadel in 1977. He is married to tf
former Ellen Beloin of Farmington, Conn. The couple's fir
child, Chnstopher Francis, was born in October of 2003.

2005 SEASON PREVIEW

It has not been a typical four-year run in College
Park for Ralph Friedgen. Things started with a Cinderella,
ACC Championship first season and a pair of bowl wins
as the encore in years two and three. And just when the
entire nation started to believe that there was nothing
the Maryland grad could touch that wouldn't turn to gold,
the fourth season produced the highs and lows of a 5-6
campaign. Friedgen's off-season response? Work harder.

And hard work is exactly what his group of Terrapins
have put in since the end of 2004, a fact that did not go
unnoticed with strength and on-the-field improvements that
became apparent in the spnng.

The 2005 Maryland football team will open fall camp
eerily resembling that of Fnedgen's first season - rife
with question marks (and similar questions at that). Both
seasons had to answer who would start at quarterback
(though a returnee, Shaun Hill was no guarantee pnor to
2001). Both would have to answer who would replace a
star at the tailback position (LaMont Jordan in 2001; Josh
Allen in 2005), And among a myriad of other questions,
both the 2001 and 2005 teams would have to replace its
top player on the defensive front (Kris Jenkins in 2001;
Shawne Merriman in 2005).

OFFENSE

For the second consecutive year, the media focus in
College Park will start at the quarterback position. Like the
rest of the Terrapin offense in 2004, it was a source of both
joy and frustration and will be considered unresolved until
the team returns to the successful balanced attack of the
previous three seasons.

Youth played a role in last year's struggles and while
the offense is again inexperienced in some areas, it also
has a year more under its belt than it did at quarterback.
While all eyes will be on the signal callers, there remain
key battles at tailback and several spots on the offensive
line. And though some of those battles will be taking
place with young players, the team's depth and talent is
unprecedented in the Friedgen era.

Spring left the Terps with a pecking order at
quarterback, the knowledge that there are at least three

- and maybe more - capable players at tailback and that
the offensive line's future is exceedingly bright. In addition,
the team knows it has what is likely the deepest and most
talented corps of tight ends in the ACC and the receivers

- though depleted in the off-season and young this fall

- have a new attitude and displayed some of their finest
moments under the guidance of some senior leadership.

"I feel we have the potential to be a good offense,"
said Friedgen. "What we have to do is become physically
and mentally tougher as a team. I think our wideouts
and running backs have to come through for us, making
plays not only running and receiving but also blocking and
protecting. If we can get those things going well and our
line continues to improve, we will be fine. Most importantly,
I think our attitude has been good and our work ethic has
made it so that I expect us to be better, not only from last
year to this year, but from this spring to fall."

Quarterback

Spring ball started with Sam Hollenbach atop the
depth chart at quarterback and that is how it ended The
other players expected to challenge - Joel Statham and
Jordan Steffy - flip-flopped on the depth chart with Steffy
missing most of the off-season workouts due to injury. With
"qualifying " now completed, the race for the starting job will
hit the home stretch.

Of the three signal-callers, Hollenbach could have
once been considered the dark horse. Though he has very

"WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO TO BECOME A REAL GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM, BUT I THINK WE'VE MADE
PROGRESS, AND I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE ATTITUDE OF THIS TEAM." - RALPH FRIEDGEN

Though the questions seem daunting, one other
similarity should help Terrapin fans breathe easier
- Fnedgen has re-focused his efforts and dedication to the
same thing that stood out in the first days he set foot in the
Gossett Team House. That he will work, plan, organize and
do everything in his power to help his team win.

In addition to the question marks on offense and
the defensive line, this year's team also remains a young
bunch. A total of 69 players on the roster will enter this
year with three or more years of eligibility remaining, 45
of those being first- or second-year freshmen. The defense
is especially young with only three seniors playing a major
role in the two-deep.

All that said, this team is the most athletically-gifted
of any one of the last five years. It has better size, more
speed at the skill positions and more high-profile recruits.
In regard to the offense and quarterback in particular, it has
one more season of experience under its belt. In the end,
the expectations that at times seem lower from outsiders
looking in, are just the opposite from those donning the red,
black and gold.

"Overall, I am happy with where we are," said
Friedgen. "We've got work to do to become a real good
football team, but I think we've made progress, and I am
excited about the attitude of this team."

the Maryland Ten'apins as they enter the 2005 season;

good size and strength, he is not as nimble or as strong-
armed as the other two. But what little he lacks, he makes
up for with savvy and good decision making. His throwing
has improved dramatically since he joined the team and he
led the team to a win in his lone start (Wake Forest) of last
season, playing nearly mistake-free football, something the
team could have used at other times during the season.

The starter for most of last season, Statham seems
more relaxed entering 2005, He is stronger physically
and seems to be mentally as well in his knowledge of the
offense. His athleticism and arm strength have never been
in question. It is as simple as how he performs "when the
bullets are flying' as Friedgen says, that will detemiine his
fate. If he is playing to his talent, he will be hard to keep out
of the lineup,

Steffy missed most of spring with an injured knee
and a nerve condition in his throwing arm. But the knee
has healed and the arm has been effectively treated with
surgery, so his chance to compete will rest solely on where
he is mentally in the offensive system. He has added 20
pounds since last year and is arguably the most athletically
gifted of the three challengers. In Fnedgen and offensive
coordinator Chariie Taaffe's system however, that is all for
naught if the right read or check is not second nature.

The final player who could factor in the three-deep
is newcomer Chris Turner, a tnje freshman who played
in a pass-onented attack in California as a prep, throwing
for nearly 5,500 yards and 46 touchdowns his last two
seasons

"Entering the fall. I would say that Sam Hollenbach
has a slight edge." said Friedgen. "It is still going to be a
competitive situation and there is still a lot of football to
be played on the practice fields before our first game, so
you never know. But what he has shown is that he will not
turn the ball over, he is a quick sfidy and he continues to
improve. Joel did not hurt himself in the spring and we'll
see where Jordan is, but I would say that's where we will
be heading into camp.'

Tailback

Though all eyes will be on the battle at quarterback,
the competition for the starting job in the backfield will likely
be the most highly contested throughout the season. The
Terps have four to five players who could contend for the
starting job

Ball does not have the straight-ahead speed the other
two possess, but he has the intangibles that will help him
compete. He has quick feet, good size and seems to have
the innate ability to find a hole and then ain to daylight,
Humber has been dealing with an injured shoulder since
last year but is another big back with good feet.

"(TAILBACK) IS A VERY CLOSE RACE HEADING INTO FALL
BETWEEN MERRILLS, LATTIMORE AND GREEN. AND WE
WILL SEE WHERE HUMBER IS WHEN HE COMES BACK
HEALTHY. " ■ RALPH FRIEDGEN

Josh Allen s late-season knee injury against )/Vake
Forest last year has sidelined him for 2005 and paved the
way for the first wide-open competition at tailback since
Bruce Perry won the job in 2001, Allen's recovery seems
to be on line for a completely healthy return in '06, but in
the meantime, senior Mario Merrills will try to stave off
challenges from sophomores Keon Lattimore, Lance Ball,
junior J, P, Humber and true freshman Morgan Green

Memlls is a hard-charging back with breakaway
speed who played well enough in the spring to enter fall
atop the depth chart. Pound-for-pound, he is the strongest
player on the Maryland roster As spring drew to a close,
however, Lattimore may have been the most complete back
as his mnning and pass catching caught up to his talent as
the team's best one-on-one blocker Lattimore possesses
the size (235 pounds) and speed (4,5) to be a big-time back
and simply needs to show more of what he showed at the
end of spring for his playing time to increase.

Transfer ID. Callahan ran well enough in the spnng
to wan'ant another look as a short-yardage back, and
Green, a true freshman, is one of the leading ball-carriers
in the history of the state of Maryland (5,133 career yards)
who could also get a look if he is up to speed in temis of his
knowledge of the offense,

"It is a very close race heading into fall between
Menills. Lattimore and Green," said Friedgen, "and we will
see where Humber is when he comes back healthy Of the
three guys, I think Memlls has the most burst but he and
Ball need to get a little smaller when they have the ball,
Keon is probably the best pass protector and receiver at
this point. They all did a nice job in the spring. We will just
have to see who emerges.'

Fullback

Due mainly to personnel issues, the Terps went away
from, to some degree, the "traditional" fullback a year ago.
In the off-season, the team made an effort to go back to
the isolation-blocking, hard nosed, fullback-as-lead blocker
approach, and it paid off in the form of a number of players
performing very well in the role.

Senior Ricardo Dickerson and sophomore Tim
Cesa each made the full-time move from the defensive
side of the ball in the spnng and both looked very good as
blocking backs. Both are hard-nosed players with Dickerson
being the more experienced player at the position, but both
will share time, regardless of who is the starter, Cesa is
strong and has a hitter's mentality while also showing good
hands out of the backfield. In the duo, the Terps will have
what they possessed in the running game prior to 2004.

While athletic newcomer Jeremy Navarre also got
a look in spring and will be a player to watch in the future
whether it be at fullback or elsewhere, the young player
who came out of nowhere was redshirt freshman Matt
Deese. Deese was nearly a non-factor a year ago, but now
at 253 pounds, he proved to be an outstanding blocker and
another player who could be in the mix for playing time.

"I think the way these guys are playing is a dimension
we didn't have last year," said Friedgen. "Both Dickerson
and Cesa bring an attitude of toughness. Both are going
to play a lot. And once Matt Deese learns what to do, he is
going to be a factor. He showed me that he can be a very
good blocker and if he isn't in the mix this year, he is likely
no more than a year away."

Wide Receiver

Despite a spring where the number of receivers was
below what was needed, the team had one of the most
productive off-seasons in recent memory. Most of that can
be credited to the attitude of the unit and the leadership of
a pair of seniors.

First-year coach Bryan Bossard got all that he
could have asked from seniors Derrick Fenner and Jo
Jo Walker. Both put in their best work in the weight room
and were vocal leaders of a receiving corps that noticeably
made more plays in spnng. The unit lost a pair of productive
players in Steve Suter and Rich Parson, but Fenner and
Walker seem ready to step in and ease the burden for what
will be the youngest unit on the team.

Fenner is one of the team's best route runners
and blazed to a personal-best time of 4.37 in off-season
testing in the 40-yard dash. With a 40-inch vertical jump,
he also offers the team a go-to player in goal line situations
if needed. He will be backed up at the "X" spot by Drew
Weatherly, Paschal Abiamiri and Isaiah Williams. Now
a junior, Weatheriy should be ready to take the next step
and utilize the best combination of size (6-4, 210) and
speed (4.5) that the team has to offer. Like Fenner, he
has a 40-inch vertical jump and good hands. Abiamiri has
been a player who has looked good in spring ball almost
every year, but has been unable to make the next step.
With the unit being so young, his contnbution would be
very important this year. Finally, Williams is one of five true
freshmen who will be given a legitimate shot at playing time
in the fall, and he brings another big body (6-3, 200) to the
mix.

At "Z," Walker heads into the season as the starter
after a spnng where his improvement was notable. He ran
a 4.43 in spring testing, but more importantly he made
more plays and more big catches than any other player on
the field. He has always been one of the team's quickest
players and it looks like in his senior campaign, he is

freshmen, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Terrell Skinner

as well as one of the top-rated wideouts in the nation in

Powell - a player who had five catches in the spring game

- as well as Danny Oquendo and Nolan Carroll two
tnore true freshmen, Oquendo is a high school track star
(hurdles) with good football skills, while Carroll is another
Flondian who will be looking to return to the form that had
him as one of the state's top receivers his junior year before
injuring his knee,

'Our wide receivers looked much improved to me in
the off-season and they stayed healthy, which is amazing
with as many reps as they had to take in spring." said
Friedgen, "What I am hoping with these kids is that they will
continue to take this attitude and matunty and give some
of that to some of these young kids who are coming in. But
when they have been on. they have been complete players

- catching, running with the ball and blocking."

Tight End/H-backs

Maryland's group of tight ends are likely the deepest
and most versatile group on the team and should end up
being one of the most productive tight-end units in the
league. The Terps will have the ability to line up with as
many as three tight ends and can do any one of a number
of things out of such a set.

The tight ends will likely be used less this year in
the H-back and wing role they became accustomed to last
year and become more of the traditional tight end, though
they will certainly split out and be able to form some four-
wide type sets and other potential matchup problems.
Sophomore Jason Goode will be the team's only true H-
back.

Junior Vernon Davis and Goode return to give the
team a versatile, athletic duo that can line up at tight end, in
the slot or in the backfield if needed. But with the use of the
more traditional, blocking fullback, both - and especially
Davis ~ are expected to use their speed and athleticism
to help the Terps in the passing game more than anything.
Davis led the team in receiving yards last year and will
continue to improve as his knowledge of the offense
progresses. He has become a complete player and should
be one of the top players in the league at his position this
year

Senior Derek Miller returns to head a group of tight
ends who will be counted on more for their blocking. Miller
has worked hard in the off-season and could play a bigger
role in the passing game while the progression of Joey
Haynos. Dan Gronkowski and Brad Schell have pleased
the coaching staff, making them viable options as well. All
three players have size similar to Miller's (in the 6-6 to 6-
8 range) and who will gain playing time of the three is a
decision that will be determined in preseason camp.

"I think Vernon was much more productive for us as
a blxker and receiver this past off-season," said Fnedgen.
Playing one position has really helped him. He is much
more of a complete player. He is very quick off the ball,
with real good strength and he should have a good year

Vernon Davis (left) is Maryland's most experienced returning
tight end, while Stephon Heyer anchors a young offensive line.

Derek Miller is probably at his physical peak right now and
obviously gives us another good blocker. And in Haynos,
Gronkowski and Schell, we have three solid players who
will have to distance themselves from the other to determine
who that third tight end will be."

Goode would have been more involved a season
ago but injury slowed his progress. Like Davis, he runs well
and is a good blocker and in his first season, he showed a
knack for picking things up quickly which should help him
in his quest for playing time this year. His integration into
the offense will only increase the team's versatility in play
calling.

"Jason still has a little ways to go," said Friedgen,
"but he is the type of athlete - physically and mentally
- who can do all the things you want out of an H-back. Our
tight ends as a whole give us a lot of multiplicity within our
offense without changing a lot of the learning."

Offensive Line

A position that exemplified the state of this year's
team this off-season is the offensive line. The Terrapins will
be relatively young at the position, entenng fall camp with
the possibility of as many as four players starting who are
no more experienced than sophomores. But more than any
other position, the offensive line - though young - looks to
be as loaded as any other in terms of talent. This year's
offensive line will have more players with prototypical size
and athleticism than any Terp group in recent history.

On the left side, OT Stephon Heyer is the lone senior
returning who started in all 11 games last year on the line.
He is a bookend tackle with a long wingspan who moves
well and should gain some attention come postseason
honors time. Heyer is as strong as he has ever been and
showed the type of leadership in the spnng that will be
needed with such a young cast surrounding him. He will
be backed up by Dane Randolph - a player who is moving
over from the defensive side of the ball and has thus far
picked things up very quickly - and the intriguing freshman
Jared Galther. At 6-9 and 330 pounds. Gaither is a former
basketball recmit who moves unbelievably well and whose
progress will be worth watching.

At left guard, sophomore Donnie Woods appears to
be the front njnner for the starting job after a solid spnng
and playing in the final 11 games of last year, starting the
finale. Woods is a savvy player who posted four "big blocks'
against just three missed assignments on 177 plays in his
first season of playing time. His primary challenge will come

from redshirt freshman Jaimie Thomas, a player coaches
have been impressed with physically but who needs to
continue to work on his assignments. He has good size (6-
4, 327) and moves very well. Redshirt freshman Lee Oliver
will also look to continue his progression after walking on
last year.

Center will be a very interesting position with a good
deal to be determined prior to the start of the season.
What happens here will likely affect the rest of the line as
well. Sophomore Andrew Crummey will start camp atop
the depth chart. He is a heady player who moves well
and started half of last season at guard. His versatility
combined with the progress of Edwin Williams, a redshirt
freshman who the coaches compare to former Terp (and
cun'ent Cleveland Brown) Melvin Fowler, will play a big
role in who goes where. If Williams wins the starting )ob.
Crummey will move back to nght guard and compete for
the job there. Senior Ryan McDonald missed spring but
will be back in the fall and his return is key giving the team
depth in the event Cmmmey starts and an experienced
backup if Williams starts. Though there will be many good
battles on the offensive line this fall, this one may be the
most important.

On the right side, the only senior atop the depth
chart other than Heyer - Russell Bonham - will look
to stay healthy and give the team a run-blocking force.
Bonham shared time as the starter (five games) at the
position last year with Crummey, but missed four games
due to injury Including the season finale. Should Crummey
stay at center, Bonham's primary challenge will come
from Garrick Clig, a physical sophomore whose forte is
also pushing the pile. Junior Dave Qualntance will also
compete In his second year on the offensive side of the
ball.

Right tackle will be a look Into the future of the Terp
line and will be one of this year's best battles. Third-year
sophomore Brandon Nixon (6-6, 314) has improved
greatly In the last year and it seems as if the mental aspect
of his game is catching up to his physical gifts. His challenge
will come from second-year player Scott Burley (6-6, 316),
a player with a mean streak who Is very physical despite
his youth but is another Terp who just needs to work on
getting his assignments straight. Regardless of the starter,
Maryland has as impressive a young tandem as It has ever
had to throw at opponents.

the overall athleticism. As was the theme last year, the play
and leadership of the team's veterans will prove vital.

"I have been encouraged by what I have seen out
of the defense thus far, even though they are young,"
said Fnedgen. "We have some players who could make
a difference for us on the defensive line if they can come
along, and we are all pretty happy with how things have
gone at defensive back. At linebacker, our depth is better
and we return all our starters, so we'll see what happens.
We don't lose much to graduation after this year, so It is
safe to say their best days are ahead of them."

Defensive Line

The Maryland defensive front is young and will be
looking for a few newcomers to step up In 2005. Though
young, Its depth will be improved, and If one or more of the
first- or second-year players Is able to step Into significant
playing time, this group will - like the offensive line - be
one to watch In coming years. The defensive line Is without
a single senior this year

At the rush-end spot, sophomore Jack Griffin left
spring as the starter. He Is a versatile player whose strength
is his motor and ability to stop the run. Sophomore Omarr
Savage, a long, lean, player with very long arms, will work
to try to regain his spot atop the depth chart, while redshirt
freshman IVIack Frost will also try to earn playing time. In
addition, three newcomers - Melvin Alaeze, Dwight Gait
and Jared Harrell - will be trying to supplant the veterans.
Alaeze was the top-rated prep defensive player In the
country by several recruiting services and would give the
team a speed merchant on the outside if he could work his
way Into a regular role.

On the opposite side, sophomore Jermaine Lemons
and redshirt freshman Trey Covington will likely share
time. Both have Improved against the run while holding
the point of attack is probably more Lemons' strength, and
Covington's is getting after the passer and making plays
In the backfield. Behind them will be another pair of true
freshmen In Jeff Clement and Barrod Heggs.

"I HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED BY WHAT I HAVE SEEN OUT OF THE DEFENSE THUS FAR, EVEN
THOUGH THEY ARE YOUNG. WE HAVE SOME PLAYERS WHO COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR US
ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE IF THEY CAN COME ALONG, AND WE ARE ALL PRETTY HAPPY WITH HOW
THINGS HAVE GONE AT DEFENSIVE BACK." - RALPH FRIEDGEN

"We have some good battles now between some big,
athletic kids who would be playing In anybody's program,"
said Friedgen. "We just need to get some more experience.
We could end up with a lot of sophomores and redshirt
freshmen on the field, but that will bode well for us based
on their talent if we can get them the reps they need. We will
only really lose Heyer, McDonald and Bonham so It looks
like the future Is pretty bright if we can keep it going."

DEFENSE

Each year, Maryland's defense shuttles players in
and out of Gary Blackney's system. Four years running,
the success of the unit has not had a hiccup - It has been
one of the best In the nation. With one of his youngest
groups taking the field this year, the hope is that the
success will remain a constant once again.

Last season, the Terps' defense had many moments
where It could stake claim to being one of the better units
In the league. If not the country. The Terrapins replaced
three of four starters In the defensive backfield (all three
of whom ended up in NFL camps) and a player in Randy
Starks on the defensive line who ended up being one of
the best defensive rookies in the National Football League
last year. The result - a unit that ranked eighth nationally
against the pass, 21 st In average yards allowed and 27th in
scoring defense.

The team returns all three starters at linebacker,
a unit ranked best In the ACC by Athlon. The defensive
backs again replace three starters, but the athleticism of
the group as a whole Is improved. Finally the defensive
line loses Shawne Merriman and former AII-ACC performer
Kevin Eli, but has young talent that could, again. Improve

D'Qwell Jackson, an Alt-America and Butkus Award candidate, led the ACC in tackles
in 2004 and is expected to be the leader of the Terps ' defensive unit this season.

■m

wwmEmBmt

Conrad Bolston, who could be an AII-ACC perfomer on the defensive line, is a
double-threat defensive tackle, being able to stuff the run and rush the passer.

■Jermaine and Trey have improved so much against
ihe mn," said Friedgen, 'Are they Shawne Memman at this
poinf No, they aren't. But are they solid and improved
and do we expect them to get better? Yes, On the other
side, we will have some real good competition leading
into the season with Griffin, Oman- (Savage) and Alaeze,
Gnffins ability to move inside will help us there but just like
everywhere else, we want the best guys on the field and
will see who prevails,"

On the inside, junior Conrad Bolston returns at
defensive tackle after starting in all but one game last year.
Bolston had a tremendous spnng, has proven to be a hard
worker and shows the ability to collapse the pocket both as
a pass rusher and run stopper. His strength is the leverage
with which he plays Gnffin will serve as the pnmary backup
along with Dennis Marsh while freshman Travis Ivey has
filled out quickly and looks as if he may be a factor as well.

Junior Rob Armstrong overcame an injured back
in the off-season and performed well enough to regain his
starting job. His strength is holding the point. Sophomore
Dre Moore missed most of spring but is a playmaker and
will challenge to regain the spot atop the depth chart. At
6-4, 298 pounds, Moore is the fourth-strongest player
on the team pound-for-pound and runs a 40 time in the
neighborhood of 4.8. Fellow sophomore Carlos Feliciano
will work behind the duo, giving the Terps another player
who plays with good pad position and leverage.

"Overall on the defensive line, we are going to be
young this year" said Friedgen. "I don't think Coach (Dave)
Sollazzo loses a single guy for next year We are going to
have more depth than we have had in the past, but a lot of
it is going to have to come from some of these young guys
if we are to be as good as we want to be."

Linebacker

As has happened on occasion in the past, an injury
has actually helped this year's group of linebackers.

The Terrapins return all three starters from last year
but heading into spnng ball, star "Mike" linebacker D'Qwell
Jackson had wrist surgery, making him was unavailable to
work in the spring. As it turns out, his absence helped a pair
of players step up.

In the middle, highly touted sophomore Wesley
Jefferson stepped in for Jackson and played the best he
has played since aniving at Maryland in 2003 as the nation's
top-rated prep linebacker. Jefferson is an instinctive player
who seems to have turned the comer What he will give the
Terps this year is an outstanding backup and some rest to
arguably the league's top retuming defensive player

Jackson finished second by two votes in balloting for
last year's ACC Defensive Player of the Year is on almost
everybody's list as a first team All-Amencan for 2005 and is
a candidate for the Butkus. Bednarik and Lombardi awards.
The leagues leading tackier a year ago, his time away in
the spnng helped him continue his role as the leader of
the defense as he was in almost every defensive huddle
throughout off-season workouts. He is a great tackier vrfio
plays sideline to sideline and is a wanior on game days.

While what Jackson will bring is a given, several players
including Chase Bullock and Marvin Peoples, will be
looking to gain expenence.

The other spot that seemed to benefit from Jackson's
absence in the spring was the "Will' position. Senior starter
William Kershaw was noticeably the best defensive player
of the off-season, making plays all over the field and looking
like the player the Terps thought they have had for years.
He is strong, mns well (4.6) and seemingly gets through
blocks with ease. Backing him up. redshirt freshman Erin
Henderson posted the best numbers in almost every
scrimmage of the off-season, looking like a smaller version
of his Butkus Award-winning brother, E.J., (a comparison
the younger Henderson both appreciates and dreads). The
bottom line is the brothers are both playmakers. Newcomer
Dave Philistin of New Hampshire, another athletic tnje
freshman, will be playing behind the duo.

At strongside linebacker David Holloway returns
for his junior season after playing above any expectation
anyone had for him last year Holloway is very good against
the njn, a solid tackier and is very strong despite his size
(4,7, 36-inch vertical, 405-pound bench, 600-pound squat).
The hope is that either redshirt freshman Eric Lenz or
junior Jens Smith can step in to help the team's depth at
the position.

"Wesley Jefferson really gives us a tot of depth
when he is at 'Mike'." said Friedgen. "I don't think there is
any question that is where he is supposed to be. William
Kershaw had a very, very good spring and Enn Henderson
finds the football and his added size and strength has
helped. And with D'Qwell, we obviously know what we have
there and Holloway has been a very good linebacker for us.
As a group, I would say we are pretty good.'

Defensive Bacic

It isn t every aay triat a team can tose three starters
and still end up being better the folkwing year. That
scenario is a possibility for the Terps this year.

Though the loss of a player like Broncos' third-
round pick Domonique Foxworth - with his leadership
and consistency - virill certainly not help, it shook) be
consklered that the three starters other than Foxworth from
last year were also in their first year in that starting rote.
Meanv^ile, players like junior Josh Wilson and senior

o
o

Gerrick McPhearson were gaining valuable experience,

splitting time in the starting lineup. In addition, depth has
improved at safety and the team seems to have gained
more versatility after determining who plays where in the
off-season.

At cornerback, McPhearson enters his final year
as the starter at the field spot formerly occupied by
Foxworth. The fastest player in school history and an All-
ACC performer on the Terps' track team in the off-season,
McPhearson can cover and run with any receiver in the
league. He is playing harder than he ever has and can
break on the ball like few players in the country. His senior
campaign could be a breakout season if his progress stays
the course. Behind McPhearson is a pair of freshmen in
redshirt Kevin Barnes and true frosh Anthony Wiseman.
Barnes is the team's tallest corner and has very good cover
skills, while Wiseman was a high school Ail-American who
will be coming back from a knee injury. He will be healthy in
the fall and brings the team another speedy defensive back
and all-around athlete (he also excelled at tailback and in
retums as a prep).

At boundary corner, Wilson is also looking to take
the next step toward being one of the league's top backs.

Wilson also ran track in the off-season and clocked in at 4.4
in the 40-yard dash. He is both intelligent and headstrong
and though he spends much of the game talking, he
spends just as much backing it up. Sophomore transfer
Isaiah Gardner (Notre Dame) has moved from safety and
will back up Wilson as well as seeing action in nickel and
dime packages. Redshirt freshman Richard Taylor and
newcomer Jamari McCullough will be working behind the
duo.

"We were concerned going into spring about having
enough players, but I thought Josh Wilson had a very good
off-season and Gerrick (McPhearson) has improved his
consistency and his toughness," said Friedgen. "He has
really matured for us as a kid and I am hopeful that he has
the year it looks like he will have. We have some young
guys back there, but from what I have seen with Gary
(Blackney)'s guys, the longer they are with him, the better
their technique will get."

At safety, things played out probably as well as could
have been expected in the spring. Senior Milton Harris
made a move at strong safety and will enter fall camp
competing with junior Marcus Wimbush for the starting
job. Wimbush, one of the team's best hitters, has stepped
up his play in coverage and will play in nickel and dime at
worst. One other player who could be a factor to start at the
position is sophomore Christian Varner.

Varner will enter fall as the starter at free safety, but
his situation is to be determined. He missed most of spring
with a high ankle sprain but came back for the last pracfice
and the spring game and played very well, showing the
intelligence and reckless abandon that has him likely
penciled in at one spot or the other What has precipitated
the possible move, despite his strong play, is a combination
of both his cover skills (and Blackney's preference for a
player with corner cover skills at strong safety) and the
emergence of J.J. Justice. Justice is big, physical and
runs very well. Once considered a little "stiff," his progress
in the last year has excited coaches and has him knocking
on the door of a starting job. True freshman Jeff Allen,
another athletic player, gives the team yet another big,
physical safety to throw in the mix,

"At safety, we have been very happy with the play
of J.J. Justice and that might give us some options at both
safety spots," said Fnedgen. "Then when we go nickel we
can use Josh there and Isaiah at corner and then move

Wimbush in when we are in dime. Anyway, things are better ^
at both safety and corner than what we thought they were

going to be, and if these young players confinue to improve, ^

we will be in good shape for a few years." g.

Special Teams

For the first time since Ralph Friedgen's first season,
the team has to concern itself with placekicker and long
snapper Both Nick Novak - the league's all-time leading
scorer - and LS Jon Condo are in pro camps and need to
be replaced.

At kicker, junior Dan Ennis and redshirt freshman
Obi Egekeze are neck-and-neck heading into the fall. Ennis
is a hard-working former soccer player who has gotten
better with each season since walking on three years ago.
Egekeze struggled at times last season but finished spring
very strong, showing a good leg and accuracy Egekeze will
handle kickoffs, while newcomer Chris Roberts will also
work there.

"I tried to make both of those guys choke," said
Friedgen. "I froze them, I talked to them, I would make them
run sprints. . .they handled the pressure pretty well. Obi has
the better range and improved as the spring went on, but
they are both still in there battling for the job."

Adam Podlesh's first two seasons as the Terrapin's
punter could not have been much better, with two seasons
as a Ray Guy semifinalist under his belt. One of the best
directional punters in the country, Podlesh is in better
shape than he has ever been and will look to crack into
the nation's top 10 in average once again. He has been
a second team AII-ACC performer in each of his first two
years, averaging 43,1 yards in the last two seasons.

At long snapper, Tim Cesa will likely handle punts
while Andrew Schmitt - younger brother of former Terp
center Kyle - will compete with Brendan McDermond on
kick-snapping duties.

In returns, the team must replace ACC career record-
holder Steve Suter but Jo Jo Walker has looked very good
on both kicks and punts. Josh Wilson will get a look on
punts as well, as will Vemon Davis - yes, 250-pound
Vernon Davis - on kickoffs.

"Losing Novak and Condo were concerns, but we
have made progress and I think that is something that will
continue to improve as we move on," said Friedgen.

2004 REVIEW NOTEBOOK

The Season

The University of Maryland football team completed
its 112th season with a 5-6 record, finishing in a tie
for eighth in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The season was the Terrapins' first sub-. 500
campaign since 2000, but was not far from being the
team's fourth consecutive bowl season. The Terps
lost three games by 10 points or less (two of which
were three-point losses) with an overtime loss at then
No. 7/8 West Virginia and a controversial late loss at
Clemson.

The 2004 season was one marked by all the traits
of a young team - which the Terrapins were. A
total of 66 players with two or more years eligibility
remaining (i.e. sophomores, redshirt freshmen and
true freshmen) comprised the 1 07-man roster with 1 9
seniors playing their final games as Terrapins.
The Terps began the season ranked 22nd in the
Associated Press poll and 20th in the ESPN/USA
Today poll. The team spent a total of seven weeks
ranked in the Top 25 with its highest ranking coming
in Week 4 when it made it to 21 st in the AP and 1 9th
in the coaches' poll.

Quick Hits, Version
2004

Maryland's win over NIU was the first to open a
season since head coach Friedgen's first year in
College Park (2001 vs. North Carolina).
Half of the Terps who started in the season opener
were starting for the first time in their careers:
Statham, Lombardo, Davis. Bonham, Haigler,
Bolston, Holloway Kershaw, Keliey Custis, Scott.
The Terrapins' home win over Temple was its 13th-
straight at Byrd Stadium •■ then, the sixth-longest in
the nation - a streak that would end in its next home
game (vs. Georgia Tech). Maryland had only lost
once in 22 games under Ralph Friedgen to that point
at Byrd Stadium and though the season was the first
under .500 for the fourth-year coach, the team i
finished with a solid 4-2 record at home.
• The Terrapins had several notable offensive
performances in their win over Duke. From a team
standpoint, the Terps: tied the school record for
first downs (35); had the most offensive plays
(100) since a school-record 105 against NC
State in 1992; posted the most passing yards
since throwing for 425 against Wake Forest
in the last game of 1993; and finished with
the second-most yards (685) in a game under
Friedgen (first was 697 against the Blue Devils in
2001).

The Terrapins churned out 277 yards rushing
against the Blue Devils but did so with no back
going over 100 yards (Sammy Maldonado finished
with 99).

Maryland's 20-7 loss to Georgia Tech was its first
loss at home since the 2002 season.

The Terps held Clemson to 36 yards rushing (an

average of 0.9 yards per carry), marking the third

time in four games that the Terrapins' opponent had

failed to rush for 1 00 yards or more.

With the October 30th win over FSU, the Terps

defeated the Seminoles for the first time ever in a

series that dates to 1966.

At the time, the Terrapins' win over FSU marked only

the eighth by an ACC team over FSU since it joined

the league in 1992. The Terps join Virginia (1995),

NC State (1998, 2001. 2002), North Carolina (2001),

Clemson (2003) and Miami (2004) as ACC victors

over the Seminoles.

The Flonda State win marked Maryland's first over

a top-five opponent since Oct. 29, 1983, when the

Terps downed No. 3 North Carolina, 28-26, at Byrd

Stadium. The Terps' last top-10 win was a 35-30

victory on Nov. 17, 1990, at Virginia.

The Terrapin defense allowed Florida State only

50 rushing yards and 17 points — the lowest in

the senes Williams Kershaw and Omarr Savage

recorded sacks to help the Terps to four on the

night.

Joel Statham's rushing touchdown against the

Seminoles broke a stnng of 13 quarters FSU had

gone without allowing its opposition to find the end

zone.

With 333 passing yards, Statham threw for the most

yards by a Terrapin against Florida State since 1995,

when Scott Milanovich threw for 380 in a 59-17 loss

in Tallahassee. Statham's 333 yards were also the

most against the Seminoles by any player since Nov

15, 2003, when NC State's Philip Rivers passed

for 422 (28-of-38) in a 5044 double-overtime FSU

victory.

Josh Allen's 72-yard catch-and-run in the third
quarter against Florida State was the longest play
of the season for Maryland. It was also a career-
long reception for Allen, his second career receiving
touchdown and his first of this season.
Maryland gave up 55 points to Virginia Tech, the
most in Fnedgen's tenure at Maryland. A closer
look, however, shows that though the defensive
performance was not the best of the season, 31
points were scored off of turnovers. What's more, the
Maryland defense was not put in a good spot early
Virginia Tech's first four scoring drives averaged
31 yards in length, and the Hokies were afforded
six scoring opportunities of 38 yards or less (five
touchdowns, one field goal) in the game.
Josh Allen's 13-yard run in the first quarter against
Wake Forest broke a string of eight quarters without
a touchdown for Maryland and moved Allen up on the
school's all-time rushing TD list. His fifth of the year,
the score gave Allen 21 for his career, tying him for
sixth all time with Ed "Big Mo" Modzelewski (1949-
51).

With a start in the season finale against Wake Forest.
OT C.J. Brooks finished his career with 51 starts,
most ever by a Maryland player.

Friedgen's
ACCeptional Start

Ralph Friedgen has opened his career as a head
coach by setting one coaching record after another
and with his fourth season in College Park now
complete, he has once again placed his name in
several record books for coaching wins.
In his four years at Maryland. Friedgen has -- season-
by-season " established himself as one of the top
coaches in ACC history. His first season featured
an ACC championship and 10 wins, his second had
him at the top of the record books for second-year
mentors with a 21-5 record, and his third year had
him atop the record books of third-year ACC coaches
with a 31-8 record.

With 31 wins in those first three years. Friedgen .
entered 2004 ranked seventh on the NCAA's all-time
list for third-year head coaches. Along with Miami's
Larry Coker (2nd), he is one of two active coaches
on the list that features legendary names like Walter
Camp (1st). Barry Switzer (4th) and John Robinson
(6th).

Now with 36 wins, Friedgen heads the list of fourth-
year ACC head coaches. With the season-ending win
over Wake Forest, he moved ahead of Clemson's
Danny Ford who was 35-10-1 in his four years.
Notably Fnedgen now stands just eight wins from
tying Ford for the most wins by an ACC coach in his
fifth year. When the 2005 season begins, Friedgen
will already rank sixth on that list, tied with long-time
fnend George O'Leary.

Select Company

Ralph Friedgen s 35 wins in four years ranks tied
for 10th in NCAA Division l-A history for fourth-year
coaches. His company on that list is noteworthy.
Nestled between Nebraska's Tom Osborne (9th) and
Boston College's Frank Leahy (12th) stand Friedgen
and a coach who Terp fans may recognize -- current
defensive coordinator Gary Blackney. Blackney
posted a 36-8-2 record at Bowling Green from 1991-
94,

Raising the Bar

With its season-ending win over Wake. Maryland

has 36 victones over its last four seasons — all since

Ralph Friedgen took over in 2001

The Terps' total of 36 wins from 2001-04 is the

second-highest four-year win total in school history.

Maryland's top effort was 37 wins under Jerry

Claiborne from 1975-78.

This season marl^ed the first time in Friedgen's

tenure that the team will have failed to win 10 games.

In the 108 years of football pnor to Friedgen's amval.

Maryland had never put together three straight nine-

win seasons, much less 10 like the Terps' did from

2001-03. •

Since 1892. Maryland has had seven 10-win

seasons, three of which have come in the last four

years.

Kevin Eli (left) and Chris Kelley he/ped anchor a Maryland defense
that finished the season ranked 20th in the nation in total defense.

Defense The
Backbone

When he was hired to come to Maryland, the talk
about the mark Ralph Friedgen would make in
College Park was all about offense. What has been
unquestionably the team's most consistent unit in
four seasons, however, has been its defense and it is
once again proving to be a force in 2004.
Defensive coordinator Gary Blackney's group has
been a unit charactenzed by stopping the run and
making teams score by moving the ball through the
air With a sconng average of 1 8.0 points allowed per
game since 2001 , that feat has obviously been a tall
order for Terrapin foes.

Just one team - Georgia - has finished higher than
the Terrapins in scoring defense each of the last four
years.

The Terps' scoring average took a hit in the late-
season loss to Virginia Tech as the team went from
17th nationally and allowing an average of 17,6
points per game to 36th and giving up 21.3 per
outing. After a strong finish against Wake Forest, the
Terps finished the season allowing an average of 20
points per game, 27th-best in Division l-A.
The Terrapins' defensive scoring average was skewed
somewhat in 04 due to events beyond the defense's
control. If one were to eliminate points scored off
turnovers and kickoff retums for touchdowns, the
Maryland defense allowed 11.9 points per game
compared to its final average of 20.0.
Since 2001. 35 of Maryland's 50 opponents (10%)
have been held to 20 points or less.
Maryland has yet to see a year under Blackney's
watch where opponents average more than 20 points
per game.

Since 2002. Maryland has held its opposition

scoreless in 73 quarters (18 in 2004).

The Ten-apins finished 2004 ranked in the nation's

top 25 in three defensive categories: total defense

(20th), pass defense (8th) and pass efficiency

defense (19th).

Maryland has held six opponents to 1 00 yards or less

passing since 2001.

The Terps have not allowed a quarterback throw for

250 yards or more since Philip Rivers of NC State

did so in Game 1 1 of last season (FSU threw for over

250. but did so with two different quarterbacks and

attempting 51 passes).

Virginia Techs Bryan Randall became the first QB

to pass for more than one touchdown against the

Terrapins since Chns Rix of Florida State did so in

Game 2 of the 2003 season.

Against Duke, the Terp defense held the opposition

to 185 yards of total offense (83 rushing, 102

passing). Along the way the defense held six of the

Blue Devils' 12 dnves to three plays or less.

Run Staffers

Marylands defense got progressively better as

the 2004 season went on, due in large part to the

progression of a group of young defensive tackles.

In the last eight games of the season, just four teams

were able to manage 100 yards rushing against the

Te^apins.

Against Florida State. Maryland buckled down and

held the Seminoles to 50 mshing yards. Florida State

came into the game averaging 190 per game and the

output was its lowest of the season.

In their loss to Clemson, the Terps hekJ the Tigers to

36 yards rushing (0.9 yards per carry), their lowest

output of 2004.

Since 2001 , Maryland has held its opposition below

100 yards rushing 13 times.

Living Up To Tiieir
Name

After stumbling out of the blocks in their
first year, Maryland's special teams have
been nothing short of, well, special the
last three years under coordinator Ray
Rychleski

In piacekicker Nick Novak, punter Adam
Podlesh and return man Steve Suter,
the Terrapins have the ACC's first team
all-conference kicker from 2002 and 2003,
its second-team punter from 2003 (and the
first Terp freshman in history to make All-
ACC) and a specialist who has been first
team all-league since 2002.
The Terps have drawn national attention
for their unit in 2004, as they were ranked
in the preseason as one of the best units
in the nation by Collegefootballnews.com
(1st), Lindy's (1st), ESPN (3rd) and Phit
Steele (3rd).

Suter (punt return yards) and Novak
(scoring) finished their careers atop the
Atlantic Coast Conference record books in
their respective categories. Podlesh was
named a Ray Guy Award semifinalist for
the second year in a row.

Suter ACC
Record-Holder

Steve Suter started his career as

somewhat of an unknown on the

Maryland football roster. Four years

later, the Terrapins' "Mr. Everything"

is leaving with his name penciled in

the ACC record books.

His eligibility at Maryland now

exhausted, Suter did it all in his four

seasons with the Terps. A starting

wideout who returned punts and

kicks, Suter was also involved in

the running game and was one of the

team's few receivers who could play at

any spot (X, Z or slot).

In the last three years, Suter has averaged

15.0 yards per touch whether it be rushing,

receiving or in the returns game.

With his first return of the day against Georgia Tech

in 2004, Suter became the ACC's all-time leader

in punt return yardage, surpassing the mark of NC

State's Ledel George (1,191, 1990-93). He finished

his Terp career with 1 ,271 yards.

In 2002, Suter tied the NCAA record for punt returns

for a touchdown in a season (4). He returned two

punts in 2003 for scores, leaving him just two shy

of tying the current NCAA career record of eight

(Wes Welker, Texas Tech, 2000-03; Antonio Perkins,

Oklahoma, 2001 -pres.).

Suter's six returns for a TD are a Maryland record.

'rm

Nick Novak finished h/s Terrapin career
as the ACC's all-time leading scorer

Novalf Finisiies Stellar
Career

It seems like ages since piacekicker Nick Novak

hit a pair of memorable kicks at Georgia Tech that

got the ball rolling for him and the Terrapins in 2001 .

Eligibility now exhausted, Novak has gone from the

focal point of a position of concern on the Terp roster

to one of the premier players at his posifion in the

country over the last four years.

Starting with his game-tying kick at Georgia Tech in

'01 , Novak made 76 of his final 93 field goal attempts

(82%), with five of the 18 misses coming from 50

yards or further (and two being blocks).

A semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award in 2002 and

2003, Novak finished his career 31 points shy of the

NCAA scoring record. Novak finished his career with

393 career points, a total which ranks tied for fifth in

Division l-A history.

For the efforts of his career, Novak was named the

2004 recipient of the Jim Tatum Award, an honor

bestowed upon the top senior student-athlete in the

league.

Novak's first field goal of 2004, a 43-yarder against

Northern Illinois, set a new ACC scoring record,

breaking the mark of FSU's Scott Bentley (326).

With his game-winning 43-yard field goal in the '03

NC State game. Novak became the all-time leading

scorer in Maryland history, surpassing the 308 points

ofJessAtkinson(1981-84).

The Charlottesville, Va,, native made 54 percent (7-

of-13) of his attempts for his career from 50 yards

or further. He owns the school record with a 54-yard

kick against Duke in 2003.

Podlesh A Ray Guy
Semifinalist

Sdi'homore Adam Podlesh had a tall order as a
ireshman in filling the shoes of Maryland's all-time
leading punter. Brooks Barnard. Podlesh is playing
like Barnard's record-setting career will barely have
a chance for the ink to dry in the team's media guide
before being moved aside.
Podlesh averaged 42.3 yards per punt in 2002,
third-best in the ACC. the fifth-best in school history
and best ever by a freshman. It was his net punting
and, more specifically, his ability to pin an opponent
that had him finish the season as a Ray Guy Award
semifinalist (an honor he achieved again in 2004),
In 2004. Podlesh maintained a 44.8-yard average
(second-best in the ACC and 10th-best in the nation)
and his net average (39 4) led the ACC and was also
seventh in the NCAA,

On 116 career punts, Podlesh has dropped 37
percent (43) inside the opponents' 20-yard line.
Podlesh placed 21 of his 63 punts in 04 inside the
20,

Podlesh was cntical to the win over Florida State,
averaging 45 yards per punt while dropping three
inside the 20 and booting three for over 50 yards,
A week after being named ACC Specialist of the
Week for his play against Georgia Tech, Podlesh
followed that performance with an 11 -punt day that
featured a 45,2-yard average, two punts inside the
20, no touchbacks and a career-long 70-yard effort
that was downed at NCSUs 5-yard line.
In being named a second team AII-ACC selection at
punter in 2003, Podlesh became the first freshman
in school history to be recognized by the league. He
earned the honor for the second straight season in
2004.

DJ • Defensive

Juggernaut

The question sun-ounding the 2004 Terrapins

heading into the season was virtually all about the

quarterback position. In '03, however, that same

'buzz' was sun'ounding "who would replace E,J,

Henderson' at middle linebacker Thanks to the play

of D'Qwell Jackson, those questions are as good as

forgotten

Maybe the fiercest competitor on the Terp roster,

Jackson has led the Teaapms in tackles in 13 of 24

games the last two years. He has also had 15 career

games with double-digit tackles.

Jackson, a first team AII-ACC selection who finished

second in balloting for Defensive Player of the Year

honors, led the league in tackles with 123. His

average of 11 .2 tackles per game made him the only

player in the ACC to average 10 or more tackles per

game.

Jackson's average of 11.2 tackles per game ranked

llth-best in the NCAA for 2004.

Jackson earned ACC Defensive Lineman of the

Week three times in 2004 and was one of just three

ACC players (Devin Hester, specialist: and Jonathan

Abbate, rookie) to have earned ACC Player of the

Week more than twice.

The Largo, Fla,, native was everywhere against

Clemson, notching a staggering career-high 18

tackles (nine solo) to go along with 2,5 TFLs and a

sack.

Jackson was one of the few bright spots against

Georgia Tech, tying what was then his career-high

with 16 tackles (four solo) while adding a half-TFL

andaPBU.

After suffering a hyperextended elbow against

Temple in week two, concern was that Jackson might

have trouble playing against West Virginia. On the

contrary, he finished with 16 tackles, a sack, one TFL

and one PBU.

In the opener, Jackson racked up nine tackles and

intercepted two passes against Northern Illinois, both

of which led to Terrapin scores.

In the 2003 season - his first as a starter -- Jackson

led the team in tackles with 136, one shy of the

record for tackles by a sophomore at Maryland. His

10.5 tackles per game ranked him seventh in the

ACC and tops among sophomores.

Jackson vs. Butkus

Below are Jackson's statistics alongside the three
finalists for the 2004 Butkus Award (nation's top
linebacker), Virginia's Ahmad Brooks, USC's Matt

in Style

After playing through injury most of 2003, Dfc
Shawne Merriman - a.k.a "Lights Out" - had his
best season in 2004. After earning first team AII-ACC
status, he opted in eariy January to declare himself
eligible for the NFL Draft, the second Maryland junior
defensive lineman to do so.
Merriman completed just his first season as the full-
time starter but was still able to make waves in thf.
Terrapin record books. In 37 career games, Merriman
posted 33 tackles for loss and 22 sacks.
In the team's season finale against Wake Forest
- what was ultimately his final game as a Terp -
■ Merriman registered a team-high 12 tackles, 3.5
TFLs and 2,5 sacks.

Merriman ends his career ranked seventh in tackles
for loss (33) and second in sacks (22). His 17 TFLs
tie him for the fifth-best single season in school
history while his 8.5 sacks tie his own mari< of a
season before which rank 11th on the single-season
list.

Merriman led all ACC defensive linemen and was
second on the Terp team with 85 total tackles.
Merriman led the Terrapins and finished tied for
second in the ACC in sacks (8.5 total/0.8 avg.), was
third in the league in TFLs (17 total/1 .55 avg.) and led
the league in fumbles forced with three.
Midway through the season. Meniman was added to
the list of nominees for the Ted Hendricks Award, an
honor given to the player considered the nation's top
defensive lineman.

At Clemson, Meniman made big play after big play,
registenng seven tackles, three TFLs, one sack and
one forced fumble.

The Upper Mariboro native posted a career-high 16
tackles from his defensive end position against NC
State.

Youth is Served

With 22 seniors (12 of whom were starters), the 2003
Maryland squad was the most experienced in the last
four years. One year later, the 2004 edition of the
Terps had just three less seniors but it was easily the
least expenenced of Ralph Friedgen's tenure.
The '04 team had the largest group of true freshmen
in recent memory (30). All told, there were 49
Terrapins on the roster with four years or more of
eligibility remaining at the beginning of the season.
For the season, a total of 35 sophomores and
freshmen saw action including eight true freshmen,
two more than all of 2003.

Upon Further Review

In addition to the high number of youthful Terps
taking the field, the more experienced Terps in terms
of their academic eligibility were not what one would
consider long in the tooth when it comes to playing
time.

A year after opening the season with 15 senior
starters, Maryland finished 2004 with eight seniors
in its starting lineup. Four of those players, however,
were in their first season as starters.
Of the 22 offensive and defensive players listed as
starters on the two-deep heading into the season-
ending Wake Forest game, 1 3 were in their first year
as starters.

Notably, Maryland lost 12 players in 2003 who made
their way to in NFL camps in the fall.

A iViiiestone Win

The Terrapins' 20-17 win over Florida State on
October 30 was notable in many respects. It was a
landmark win for the current coaching staff and takes
the program to heights not achieved in decades. The
win was:

- Maryland's first in 15 tnes against FSU.

- The team's first over a top five opponent since
1983.

- The first over a top 10 team under Friedgen and for
the school since 1990.

- The first by Maryland over one of the "big three" in
Florida since the Terps beat Miami in 1984, a game
that saw them trail 31-0 at halftime.

Terps Among IMation's
Elite

Over the course of the past four years, the Maryland
football program has been among the best in the
nation. The Terrapins are 36-14 in that span with a
23-3 record at home.

Maryland was one of just five BCS programs to win
at least 10 games each season from 2001-2003. The
four others were Miami (Fla.), Oklahoma, Texas and
Washington State.

The Terrapins are joined by just four other schools
since 2001 to finish 2001, 2002 and 2003 ranked
in the nation's top 20 In both major polls while also
earning a spot in the top 25 of both preseason polls
for 2004 (Miami (Fla), Oklahoma and Texas and
Michigan are the others).

A Class Act

The success of the Maryland football team has not

stopped on the playing field in recent years, as the

team has improved its academic standing under

Ralph Friedgen's watch.

All 19 members of the 2004 senior class were on

schedule to earn their degrees on time.

Since Friedgen joined the Terps in 2001, 58 of 66

football players who have exhausted their eligibility

have graduated, including 30 in fewer than five

years.

Suter was one of the teams top scholar-athletes,

earning a 4.0 grade point average in 2003-04.

From the membership has its benefits file: when

on the road, Friedgen lets players line up to eat by

grade point average. The Terps must be hungry -

11 players earned a 3.5 GPA or better for the entire

2003-04 academic year.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Sam Hollenbach threw for 164 yards in his first college start and Maryland's
defense held Wake Forest to just seven points as the Tenapins closed the 2004 season with an
Atlantic Coast Conference victory before 48,226 at Byrd Stadium.

Hollenbach, a sophomore making his first collegiate start, went 16-for-27 with no interceptions
Going 7-for-10 in the opening quarter, as the Terrapins took a 7-0 lead.

The Maryland defense was effective, holding the Demon Deacons to 272 yards in total offense,
despite a 1 03-yard rushing effort by junior tailback Chris Barclay

Maryland forced a cnjcial turnover by the Demon Deacons midway through the final period that
preserved the victory. Wake Forest trailed 13-7 when Cory Randolph replaced starting quartertjack
Ben Mauk and drove the Demon Deacons to the Maryland 10-yard line. But the march ended when
safety Chns Kelley forced a fumble at the 1 and the Terrapins recovered with 8:25 remaining

Maryland then punted, and Wake Forest failed on a fourth-down try from the Maryland 27 with 4:06
to go. The Deacons' final dnve ended before they reached midfield.

Nick Novak kicked two field goals for the Terrapins and finished his career with 393 points, most in
ACC history and tied for fifth on the NCAA Division-I list.

Wake Forest's only touchdown came in the third quarter on a 28-yard drive following a Terrapin
turnover

The Terrapins led 13-0 in the third quarter when a Wake Forest punt hit a Maryland player and the
Deacons recovered the fumble. That set up a 5-yard touchdown run by Barclay and late in the quarter
Jeremy Thompson blocked

a 37-yard field goal try by
Novak to keep the score at
13-6,

It was 13-0 at halftime,
the first time this season the
Demon Deacons were held
scoreless in the first half.

After Ryan Plackemeier
missed a 25-yard field goal
for Wake Forest, Hollenbach
directed an 11 -play 80-yard
drive that produced the
Ten'apins' first touchdown.
Hollenbach went 3-for-4 for
40 yards before Josh Allen
scored on a 13-yard run

In the second quarter,
Hollenbach engineered a
13-play drive that produced
a 22-yard field goal by
Novak and a 10-0 lead with
2:27 left. Allen carried nine
times for 43 yards dunng the
march.

Maryland then forced
a punt, and the Terrapins
moved 34 yards In seven
plays over 40 seconds
before Novak kicked a
47-yard field goal as time
expired in the half

Allen gained 74 yards on
1 8 cames before leaving the
game with an injury late in
the half.

THE ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE

The Tradition

John Swofford,
ACC Commissioner

Consistency, It's ttie mark of true excellence in any endeavor.
However in today's intercollegiate athletics, competition tias
become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to
maintain a high level of consistency.

Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds Nov» in its
53rd year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one
of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the
nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it.

Since the league's inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured
94 national champion-ships, including 49 in women's competition and 45
in men's. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-
athletes 120 times in men's competition and 60 times in women's action.
The conference had an immediate impact on the national college
football scene in the fall of 1953 when the University of Maryland captured the first of what would
eventually be five national football titles for the ACC, Clemson laid claim to the league's second
national title in 1981 while Georgia Tech followed suit in 1990 Florida State pocketed national titles
No. 4 and 5 in 1993 and 1999, respectively

In addition, Miami has laid claim to five national gridiron titles over the past 22 seaons.
Four of the Hurncanes' five national titles (1983, 1987, 1989, 2001) were unanimous with both the
sportswriters and coaches polls in agreement, while in 1991 Miami (AP) shared the national title with
Washington (coaches).

The 1 2 institutions that lake to the field this fall under the ACC banner have produced 497 first or
second team gndiron All-Amencans and 70 first-team academic All-Amencans. ACC schools have had
2,125 players selected in the annual professional football draft, including 191 first round selections.

If success is best measured in terms of wins and
losses, then the ACC over the years has proved itself to pamBBBMHaii^MnBi^Hna
be among the elite in Division l-A football. The ACC is the
nation's winningesi bowl conference, as the 12 current
league teams are a combined 132-115-5 (.533) in post-
season play

Following its 3-3 bowl mark in 2004, the ACC is the
only conference to post a .500-or-better record in post-
season play in each of the past four seasons. Since 2001 ,
the ACC IS 16-9 in postseason play and has the best bowl
winning percentage (.640) among all BCS conferences

In 2002, the ACC set an NCAA record when seven
of Its nine teams (78%) received bowl bids,

Georgia Tech is the winningest bowl team in Division
l-A history Following its 51-14 win over Syracuse in last
year's Champs Sports Bowl, the Yellow Jackets are 22-11
(.667) while Boston College (.625) is fourth and Florida
State (.606) is eighth.

For the first time in league history, the ACC
surpassed the 3.5 million mark in total attendance in
2004 and for the fifth straight year, the league set new
single-season records in attendance. In 66 home games
during the 2004 season, ACC teams drew 3,693,032 fans,
breaking the existing record of 3,006,841 set during the
2003 season.

In front of the first capacity crowd in Gator Bowl history, 1 6,666,
Maryland's Lu Gambino was a one-man wrecking crew, rushing
for 165 yards and scoring three touchdowns, Gambino's three
scores propelled Maryland to a 20-7 lead, but Georgia reeled
off 1 3 points in the fourth guarter to tie the game. The Bulldogs
threatened to win the game in the closing seconds, but time ran
out with Georgia on Maryland's four-yard line. Despite the tie,
there was no question as to the game's most valuable player.
Gambino won the Burkhalter Award, signifying the game's
outstanding performer. Gambino was inducted into the Gator
Bowl Hall of Fame in 1992.

football history, the Terps upset No 1 -ranked and regular
season national champion Tennessee. 28-13, in the 1952

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

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.

but lost the game when the Volunteers' quarterback, Randy
Wallace, found Larry Seivers for an 11 -yard touchdown pass

The ACC champion Terrapins headed into the 1975 Gator

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 Flonda
passes which led to the first 10 Maryland points. This was
the first Terp win over an SEC team since 1955,

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
CO-CHAMPIONS

Maryland completed its only undefeated season in history and clobbered
top-ranked and heavily favored Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl to lay its
own claim to a national crown. Led by All-America tackles Bob Ward and
Ray Krouse, brothers Ed and Dick Modzelewski, and QB Jack Scarbath,
Maryland accepted a Sugar Bowl invitation against the recommendation
of Southern Conference presidents who sought for all league institutions
to boycott the bowls. The Terps were decided underdogs against No, 1
Tennessee, but Ed "Mighty Mo" Modzelewski's 153 rushing yards and a
28-13 victory prompted Tennessee coach Bob Neyland to state, "We were
soundly beaten by a superior team,"

the previous season's Sugar Bowl, Ole Miss scored a pair of fourth-quarter
touchdowns to upend the Terps. and Maryland fell 27-7 to Alabama the

Entering the season ranked No. 3 in the nation, the Terps began the 1954
campaign in convincing style, shutting out Kentucky 24-0 in their season
opener But the Terps stumbled in their next game, losing a close 12-7
decision to fourth-ranked UCLA. That dropped Maryland to No. 13 in the
polls heading into its ACC matchup vs. Wake Forest. A 13-13 tie with the
Demon Deacons sent the Terps tumbling out of the national rankings for
the first time since 1950. IVIaryland rebounded to shut out North Carolina
33-0 before dropping a 9-7 road decision to Miami. The Terps v*ent on to
vwn their final five games by a combined score of 200-33, including a 74-1 3

QB Scott McBrlen leaps into the end zone
for the game-winning touchdown against
NC State on Nov. 9.

2003

After starting its season 0-2, Maryland finished the season by winning 10 of
Its last 1 1 games for the second year in a row. In doing so, the Terrapins
became the first team in Atlantic Coast Conference history to win 10 games
after starting 0-2. The Terps finished 2003 10-3, winning the Toyota Gator
Bowl by a resounding 41-7 margin over regional nval West Virginia, a team
they had beaten once already earlier in the season Scott McBnen was
named the game's MVP after posting a career performance (21-33, 381
yards, 3 TDs, int, 2 rush TD) against his fomier school. Ralph Fnedgen's
31 wins in three years marked the seventh-most in NCAA history by a third-
year coach and most-ever by an ACC coach. Ten players were named first
or second team AII-ACC, most by any team in the league.

BOB PELLEGRINI

sophomore guard for the 1953 national
champion Terrapins. He would play guard
again in 1954 in an era when players went both
ways, before switching to center for his senior
year to fill a Terrapin void.

As a senior, Pellegnni led Maryland
to its second 10-0 regular season and ACC
championship in three years as the Terps
defeated defending national champion UCLA

Pellegrini led the Terps to a 27-4-1 record
over his career, with rankings in the Top 10 each season. He was the first pick in the National

of an Eagle turnaround that took the team to the top of the football world. A losing team when he
joined, the Eagles defeated Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers for the World Championship

BOB WARD

National Football
Foundation College
Hall off Fame (1980)

Bob Ward weighed all of 165 pounds
throughout his four-year playing career at Maryland
and, even in the early 1950s, thai was no size for
a lineman. Especially a lineman who was a first
team All-America middle guard on defense as a
junior in 1950 and a first team offensive guard as
a senior in 1951,

The forte of the Maryland teams of the early
1950s was consistency— a winning consistency.
During Ward's four years, the team was a
combined 32-7-1, winning two bowl games (1949
Gator over Missouri, 1951 Sugar over Tennessee
to complete a perfect 10-0 season).

The awards and honors Ward earned as a
Maryland player belie physical stature, but speak
volumes about the man. He was the MVP of the
1949 Gator Bowl, Maryland's first bowl victory.
He was the only player ever to earn All-Amenca
honors as both an offensive and defensive position

player. He earned Southern Conference Player of the Year honors as a senior and was chosen
Lineman of the Year by the Washington Touchdown Club and the Philadelphia Sportswriters
Association in 1951,

Bob Ward was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in
1980,

RANDY WHITE

Pro Football
Hall off Fame (1994)
National Football
Foundation College
Hall off Fame (1994)

Randy White changed the look of footballs
defensive lines. At Maryland, and later in an
All-Pro National Football League career with
the Dallas Cowboys, he was regarded as the
quickest defensive lineman to play the game
He could be in an opponent's backfield before
a quarterback could make a hand-off.

In 1974, White cleaned up the college
football awards plate. He was honored with
the Outland and Lombardi trophies as the top
collegiate lineman, was ACC Player of the Year,
was an unanimous first-team All-Amenca choice,
named the Delaware (his home state) Athlete
of the Year and named the Amateur Athlete
of the Year by the Philadelphia Sportswriters
Association,

A first round draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys, White was an All-Pro performer
throughout his career and shared Super Bowl MVP honors with Dallas teammate Harvey
Martin when the Cowboys defeated Denver in Super Bowl XII.

White's jersey number, 94, has been retired at Maryland. He was inducted into the National
Football Foundation College Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hail of Fame in 1994.

lefrak scholarship

Josh Wilson

The Samuel J. and Ethel LeFrak Foundation donated
SI million in 2003 to establish the Samuel J, LeFrak
Scholars Fund at the University of Maryland.

The gift will fund annual LeFrak Scholars in the sports
of men's basketball, football and men's track. Beginning in
2004-05. the three LeFrak scholarships will be awarded
annually concurrently and in perpetuity to three student-
athletes who exhibit extraordinary athletic ability leadership
and academic achievement.

Men's basketball player Nik Caner-Medley was the
first-ever recipient of the LeFrak Scholarship at Maryland
for the 2003-04 season and Sean Lowe earned the honor for men's track.

Cornerback Josh Wilson is this year's recipient from the football team.

Prior to his death in Apnl 2003, Samuel J, LeFrak, a 1940 graduate of the
University of Maryland and one of its most distinguished alumni, was chairman of the
Lefrak Organization, one of the world's largest private development companies. The
firm's accomplishments include building Lefrak City, a community of apartments, stores
and office buildings in Queens. N.Y; and creating and developing Battery Park City in
New York City as well as Newport, a S 1 billion mixed-use community in New Jersey on
600 acres overlooking the Hudson River

While a student at Maryland,
LeFrak was a varsity track letterman,
president of the Latch Key Honor
Society and an officer of his class and
ofTau Epsilon Phi.

"In keeping with Dr. LeFrak's
dedicated support of the university for
more than 60 years, the foundation is
happy to sustain his wishes to help
the school in its many endeavors to
maintain high scholastic and athletic
standards," said Deborah Dolan,
director of the LeFrak Foundation.

Said athletics director Deborah
A. Vow, "The LeFrak scholar-athletes
will serve as role models to young
people across the country. We are
very grateful for the generosity of Dr.
and Mr?. LeFrak."

FRANK REICH: THE KING OF COMEBACKS

When it comes to engineenng
record-setting comebacl< victories, no
one tias done It better ttian IVIaryland's
Frank Reicti, wtio was at ttie controls
for ttie greatest comebacks In NCAA
and NFL lilstory.

Reich's first encounter with
greatness occurred as a senior in
1984, when he came off the bench
to lead the Terps to what then ranked
as the biggest comeback in NCAA
history. Down 31-0 at halftlme to
the defending national champion
Miami Hurricanes, head coach Bobby
Ross inserted Reich into the lineup
in place of Stan Gelbaugh, and
Reich proceeded to complete 12 of
16 passes for 260 yards and three
touchdowns in propelling the Terps to
a 42-40 victory in the Orange Bowl.

Eight years later, on Jan. 3, 1993,
Reich met destiny again as he led the
Buffalo Bills to the greatest comeback
in pro football annals. As in the Miami
game in 1984, Reich came off the
bench and performed his heroics
against a top-notch opponent. This
time the foe was the Houston Oilers,
who appeared on their way to an
easy playoff win by building a 35-3
lead eariy in the second half.

Reich, however, wasn't deterred.
Filling in for the injured Jim Kelly, he
demonstrated grace under fire by
throwing for a career-high 289 yards
and four touchdowns as the Bills went
on to win 41-38 in overtime.

Reich led the Bills back from a 35-3 third-quarter deficit.

Reich led Marylarid to victory after trailirtg 31-0 at the hall
