Well, redshirt junior Perry Hills sure looks a lot like true freshman Perry Hills, at least through game one. It's clear Maryland's starting quarterback was giving his all (Randy Edsall made it sound like he might have been trying too hard, if anything), but Saturday again Richmond was simply not a Big Ten-caliber quarterbacking performance.
Bottom line: you can't throw like this against an FCS defense and expect to succeed against Michigan State, Penn State and the other fierce defensive units the Terps will play this year.
| Perry Hills | Left | Middle | Right | All |
| 15+ yards | 0/1 | 0/2, INT | 1/1, 15 yards | 1/4, 15 yards |
| 10-14 yards | 3/4, 61 yards, TD | 0/0 | 0/1 | 3/5, 61 yards, TD |
| 5-9 yards | 0/2 | 1/1, 7 yards | 0/1 | 1/4, 7 yards |
| 0-4 yards | 1/1, 5 yards | 1/1, 4 yards | 2/2, 13 yards | 4/4, 22 yards |
| Less than 0 yards | 0/1 | 2/2, 35 yards, TD | 1/1, -3 yards | 3/4, 32 yards, TD |
| All | 4/9, 66 yards, TD | 4/6, 46 yards, TD, INT | 4/6, 25 yards | 12/21, 138 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT |
Hills rarely attempted to stretch the field vertically against Richmond, throwing just four passes at least 15 yards in the air.
