from www.theacc..com:

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -Backup Danny O’Brien(East Forsyth High School) threw three touchdown passes in a 45-point first half, and Maryland enjoyed its highest-scoring performance in 35 years, a 62-3 rout of Morgan State on Saturday night.

Playing on only four days rest after defeating Navy on Monday, the Terrapins (2-0) scored on their opening three possessions and added four touchdowns in the second quarter. That propelled Maryland to its largest victory margin since a 61-0 win over the Citadel on Sept. 13, 2003.

The 62 points was the most by the Terrapins in one game since a 62-24 win over Virginia on Nov. 22, 1975.

Maryland has already matched its win total from last year and owns its first winning streak since 2008.

Morgan State (1-1) gained only six yards in the first half and finished with 85.

Sophomore quarterback Donovan Dickerson went 2 for 14 with two interceptions before halftime and ended up 7 for 28 for 48 yards. This was the third straight season that the Bears, a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, faced a team from the FBS. They previously lost to Rutgers 38-0 and Akron 41-0.

Morgan State’s lone score came on a 39-yard field goal by Kemar Scarlett in the third quarter.

O’Brien entered for starter Jamarr Robinson in the second quarter with the score 24-0. After handing off and running the ball, O’Brien unleashed first career throw: a 27-yard touchdown pass to wide-open tight end Matt Furstenburg.
