Chris Turner got the start at quarterback, his first action since he sprained his MCL against N.C. State on Nov. 7
Turner looked sharp on the Terps’ first drive, leading the offense deep into Eagle territory and setting up a 32-yard field goal by Nick Ferrara with 11:57 left in the quarter that made it 3-0 Terps.
It was the first time the Terps scored the first points of a game since Sept. 19 against Middle Tennessee.
The teams then traded punts, and a shanked one by Ferrara gave the Eagles the ball at their own 41. Eagle quarterback Dave Shinskie found wide receiver Colin Lammond for a 66-yard catch and run for a touchdown on 3rd-and-17.
Lammond ran right by Terp cornerback Anthony Wiseman after making the catch and streaked down the sideline for the score to give BC a 7-3 lead with 6:55 left in the quarter.
Eagle kicker Steve Aponavicius added an 18-yard field goal with 55 seconds left in the quarter to make it 10-3. Terp safety Terrell Skinner made a nice tackle to stop Eagle running back Montel Harris from finding the endzone the play before on third-and-goal from the 1.
Backup quarterback Jamarr Robinson entered the game for the Terps’ last drive of the quarter and handed the ball off twice. Turner has his helmet off and is wearing a heavy coat.
