In his first career start for the Terrapins, true freshman quarterback Malik Washington delivered a historic performance. He completed 27 of 43 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns, setting multiple program records in the process. His 258 passing yards were the most ever by a true freshman in a Maryland debut, and his 27 completions now stand as the highest single-game total by a true freshman in school history.
