Maryland offensive coordinator Walt Bell has been pleasantly surprised with the performance of quarterback Perry Hills, particularly when considering how inconsistent and turnover prone the fifth-year senior has been throughout his career.
Hills, who completed just 90 of 180 passes while throwing 13 interceptions to eight touchdowns in nine games last season, has connected on 27 of 37 passes (73 percent) this year and has not thrown an interception. He had three touchdowns passes in last week’s 42-14 win at Florida International.
After playing well in two straight blowouts – the Terps beat Howard 52-13 in the opener- Bell would now like to see how Hills plays under duress.
