Terps: O'Brien's opening quarter
Maryland quarterback Danny O'Brien came out flinging in the first quarter, but his attempt to overfly the Pirates defense on the first offensive play of the game didn't stay up in the air quite long enough and was intercepted.
The second time was the charm. He delivered a perfect ball to receiver Kevin Dorsey on a third-down play for a 45-yard touchdown. O'Brien also drove the Terps deep into ECU territory on their next possession, but came up empty when kicker Travis Baltz missed on a 25-yard field goal attempt.
It was the second hiccup by the kicking team. The Pirates blocked the extra point attempt after the touchdown.
