The Terrapins (9-4) were able to keep Purdue's offense, the NCAA's 10th best at 425 yards per game, in check by blanketing its speedy wideouts, batting down several passes -- and keeping the ball away from the Boilermakers.

Keon Lattimore added 86 yards rushing on 20 carries for the Terps, who held the ball for 39:48. It hardly mattered that Dan Ennis' 22-yard field goal with 6:22 left in the third quarter was the only scoring in the second half.

Maryland milked the clock with 429 total yards and 20 first downs and Purdue did little when it had a shot.

Boilermaker quarterback Curtis Painter completed 23-of-36 passes for 264 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Maryland's offense was virtually mistake free, but Purdue (8-6) had several costly miscues.
