Likely's record-setting day paces Terps to blowout win over Richmond

COLLEGE PARK — Will Likely had his shot over and over again Saturday afternoon. The Maryland defense kept forcing Richmond to punt, and the Spiders kept kicking it to the Terps cornerback with similar results: a winding return through a mess of white jerseys stopped just short of breaking it for a touchdown.

But early in the fourth quarter, Richmond punter D.J. Helkowski launched a kick in Likely's direction for the seventh time. He sliced through the Spiders coverage team behind the red jerseys of his teammates before bouncing to the sideline. He accelerated and leapt for the pylon, putting an exclamation point on Maryland's 50-21 blowout victory over Richmond with a 67-yard touchdown.
