- Maryland quarterback Malik Washington has thrown for 1,034 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions, but struggled significantly in his last game against UCLA, where he was intercepted four times and earned a low PFF grade of 27.7 overall.
- Washington's season PFF grades (69.1 overall, 68.9 passing) reflect ups and downs, and he will face a strong Nebraska defense coming off a solid performance against Michigan State.
