Terrell earned a victory for the Fighting Irish during their 1988 National Championship season. In a game billed as the "[Catholics vs. Convicts](/source/1988_Notre_Dame_vs._Miami_football_game)", #1 [Miami](/source/Miami_Hurricanes_football) pulled to within one point with a touchdown with less than one minute to go in the fourth quarter, making the score 31-30. Miami coach [Jimmy Johnson](/source/Jimmy_Johnson_(American_football_coach)) made the decision to go for the two-point conversion, and called for a pass play to the right corner of the endzone. Terrell batted away [Steve Walsh](/source/Steve_Walsh_(American_football))'s pass, sealing the victory for the Irish, and helping them roll onward to a 12-0 season and the national title. He was a 1986 First Team All-South Independent selection

He and [Chad Cota](/source/Chad_Cota) both had 49-yard interception returns against [Dallas](/source/Dallas_Cowboys) in the first round of the 1996 playoffs, thereby tying each other for the career, season, and single-game Panthers' franchise records for post-season interception return yards.
