From the Because-Somebody-Had-To-Do-It file ...
I'm sure a few people out there were wondering how Maryland wideout Torrey Smith's 224-yard game against N.C. State and his 1,045-yard season stacked up in ACC history.
The answer: Pretty well, though there are actually better yardage totals this season from other players in both categories.
(There are not, though, four touchdowns from another player this season).
As for the single-game outburst, that ranked 20th in conference history and was just the 33rd 200-yard day in league history. Virginia's Dontrelle Inman and North Carolina's Dwight Jones both had days of at least 230 yards this season.
Anyway, chances are some people want some evidence to back up these statements. And here it is:
