This is all of course really irrelevant, but The Sun story got me interested, so I crunched some numbers…

Turner is currently Maryland’s #7 all-time QB in terms of career yards. He needs 694 more to match Scott McBrien for #3 — based on his career yards per game average, he’ll meet that after four additional games. Turner can take the #2 spot away from Boomer Esiason with 1,784 yards, he’s currently on track to do that in 10 games. If he really overachieves next year (this would require 220 ypg avg assuming no bowl game), 2,826 more yards will take the number-one spot from Scott Milanovich. Last year Turner threw for 2,516 yards in 13 (12.5 really) games.

Great stats. I hope he has a great senior year and gets the recognition he deserves.

There is also another positive side to Chis that won’t show up in that the stats. He is deceptively tough. I think he took about 30 sacks last year. Some were brutal like the spearing he took in the first half of the Clemson game. He just seemed to shake them off.
