Maryland’s 2-0 start to the 2017 season has been impressive to say the least. The Terps caught the nations eye during week one when the offense exploded for 51 points against Texas, a team that was ranked No. 23 in the country at the time.

Maryland followed that performance with a commanding 63-17 victory over local foe Towson in the home opener on Sept. 9. During those game the Terps set many individual and team records.  Here is a glimpse at some of the records Maryland has set so far this season.
