It’s one game, so no sweeping generalizations here. But just as a comparison …

* Maryland ran 60 percent of its snaps in the red zone (12 of 20). Last year, Maryland ran on 60.1 percent of its red zone snaps (83 of 138).

* Ronnie Tyler was targeted in the red zone only twice all last season. He doubled that total Monday.

* Matt Furstenburg nearly matched his total number of red zone targets from all of 2010 (three).

Much like the overall targets, the third-down attempts were spread around fairly evenly among several receivers.

Astute Twitter followers noted during Monday’s game that while Tate was called for the facemask, it appeared Demetrius Hartsfield actually committed the infraction. The chart, however, reflects what the referee announced.
