Three years after his last start, Hills is back – with a new-old cast of teammates.
Perry Hills has done this before. That wasn't the plan, but a C.J. Brown preseason injury catapulted him into Maryland's starting quarterback job in 2012. On Sept. 1, in the season opener against William & Mary, Hills threw 24 passes. Nineteen of those were caught, but three were caught by the other team, and those that Maryland receivers hauled in netted but 145 total yards. Maryland spent most of the game in danger of an embarrassing loss, but a Justus Pickett 6-yard run in the fourth quarter - Swift Justus!
