If you’re like me, you were wondering just when was the last time Maryland rolled up 486 yards offense in a game.

Hopefully, you’re not too much like me, because that was one of the first things I did once I got home last night from Byrd Stadium.

Anyway, the answer to the question is Nov. 12, 2005, when the Terps piled up 524 yards (509 in regulation) in a 33-30 victory at North Carolina. A total of 32 games had passed since Maryland hit yesterday’s mark.

As a comparison, Maryland hit that total eight times in Ralph Friedgen’s first 32 games as coach.

This, of course, means it is chart time!
