Comments on a win that moves the Terps to 5-1 just 1 Victory Away from Being Bowl Eligible:

Maryland and UVA is one rivalry I will miss. UVA is booked up for the next 11 years so that’s it.

UVA won the statistics battle but we all know stats are for losers.

It’s very rare a team rushes for 249 yards and wins the turnover battle 3-0 yet still loses the game.

Caleb Rowe was 18-34 and 332 yards though he was shakey at times. Overall a great effort by Caleb.

Attendance—41,077 so so crowd though the weather was horrible

Deon Long’s up for grabs catch led to the game winning pass to Stinebaugh.

Post game comments from Coach Edsall

“I am very happy for our players and coaches for battling for a full 60 minutes and coming away with a win.  We had to have guys step up today and they did.  We are getting better.  We are getting closer.  It was true team effort today.  Guys understand if you can stick together as a team and play hard you have a chance to be successful.  I thoughtCaleb Rowe came in and did a really good job.  He made some mistakes, but he did what he was supposed to do and that is lead his team to victory.  Deon Long had a huge day.  Stefon (Diggs) came back and did some things today.  I was on them pretty good last Sunday and they responded.  This is something that will help us as we move forward.  It is good to beat Virginia in the last time we will play them for the foreseeable future.  I am very, very proud of our team.”

On Caleb Rowe’s 3rd and 22 play:

“We called the go-route and he put the ball in a position where Deon (Long) had an opportunity to go and make the catch.  It was a fabulous catch.  Those are the things that Deon can do.  That is a good lesson for Caleb and C.J. (Brown).  If you put the ball in a position where he and Stefon can go fight and jump, they are going to be able to make some plays.  We have to do more of that.”

 Up 23-20 Mike London opted for a FG on 4th and 2 from the 5 when a TD would have put the game out of reach. No guts no glory.
