Tosses for 360 yards in win O'Connell went 30-of-41 passing for 360 yards and a 2:1 TD:INT ratio during Saturday's 31-29 win over Maryland. He also lost one fumble and netted a 25-yard loss across nine carrie... Impact O'Connell averaged his third-highest yards per attempt (8.8) and tossed for at least 360 passing yards for the third time in five games this season against the Terrapins. While the senior signal-caller struggled to connect with top receiving option Charlie Jones (three receptions, six targets, 15 yards) on Saturday, he once again established a consistent connection with tight end Payne Durham (seven receptions, eight targets, 109 yards), including a 56-yard completion to set up the Boilermakers final rushing touchdown. O'Connell's rapport with both Durham and Jones will continue to buoy his passing production moving forward.
