Pastrana's passing accounted for all three Terrapin scores in a failed second-half comeback bid. He finished the year with 102 completions on 195 attempts for 1,499 yards and 17 touchdowns. After the season, Saban left to become head coach for the Denver Broncos and he was replaced by former Maryland All-American guard Bob Ward. In April 1967, Pastrana suffered a serious injury when he tore his medial collateral ligament and cartilage in his knee during a spring football practice. The injury required surgery, and he was lost for the 1967 season. Pastrana returned for his final year of eligibility in 1968, but had "only a mediocre season", although he "kept the team spirits high with his never-say-die attitude." Maryland finished with a 2–8 record. Pastrana recorded 81 completions on 172 attempts for 1,053 yards and six touchdowns.
