COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) In his first start of the season at quarterback for Maryland, Caleb Rowe has made protecting the football his No. 1 priority.

Operating in relief of an ineffective Perry Hills last week against Bowling Green, Rowe threw three passes - two of which were intercepted. In fairness to Rowe, the Terrapins were in catch-up mode and forced to pass.

''It was a hard situation but I have to be smart with the football,'' Rowe acknowledged.
