Logs efficient line in blowout Iamaleava completed 15 of 24 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 54-3 win versus Maryland. He also had six rushes for two yards.

Impact The most glaring element of Iamaleava's result was the lack of rushing production, considering he averaged 47.0 yards per game prior to Saturday's contest. He leaned on his arm, recording over 200 passing yards for the second straight week, and left most of the running production to Wayne Knight and a host of backups after the game was well in hand. The team gets a break in Week 5, and Iamaleava will get some extra time to prep for a tough game against Oregon.
