Maryland 37, West Virginia 0: C.J. Brown accounted for two touchdowns and Brad Craddock nailed three
field goals as the Terrapins cruised past the Mountaineers on neutral territory
at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium.
Maryland (4-0) compiled a season-low 330 yards of total offense in the
sloppy, rain-soaked affair, but scored touchdowns following three West Virginia
first-half turnovers. Brown completed
16-of-25 passes for 217 yards, hitting wide receiver Deon Long six times for 98
yards, while Brandon Ross rushed 20 times for 67 yards and a 3-yard TD run in
the fourth quarter.
West Virginia (2-2) committed six total turnovers and mustered only
175 yards of total offense as the Mountaineers were shut out for the first time
since a loss to Virginia Tech in 2001. Redshirt freshman Ford Childress
completed 11-of-22 passes for 62 yards with two interceptions and Dreamius
Smith led the Mountaineers with 74 yards rushing on 12 carries.
Maryland defensive back A.J. Hendy recovered a Mountaineers fumble on a
punt return to set up Brown's 6-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dave Stinebaugh in
the first quarter. Hendy struck again on
West Virginia's next drive as he intercepted a Childress pass and returned it
28 yards for a touchdown to give the Terrapins a quick 14-0 lead.
Craddock kicked three consecutive field goals, including a season-long
50-yarder, in the second quarter.
Linebacker Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil intercepted Childress at the West
Virginia 6-yard line, setting up a Brown 1-yard run on the quarterback sneak
to put Maryland up 30-0 at halftime.
