STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- When DJ Durkin and James Franklin spoke about their teams earlier this week, they sounded nearly identical praising young, up-tempo offenses led by dual-threat quarterbacks and highlighted by playmaking running backs.Whichever one takes the next step will have to come at the expense of the other. Penn State (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) hosts Maryland (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) on Saturday in whats become arguably both teams biggest rivalry to date. The teams have split the past two games, each decided by one point after a combined 11 lead changes.I think both teams are going to be going into that stadium on Saturday fired up and excited, Franklin said. They are coming in undefeated. We played an undefeated team last week. We are coming off a big emotional win where the guys just kept fighting and persevering.The Terrapins are seeking their first 5-0 start since 2001 and are averaging 43.3 points per game. Quarterback Perry Hills, like his Penn State counterpart Trace McSorley, has found a groove behind an offensive line that features three former walk-ons.He can beat you with his feet and his arm, Durkin said. Hes doing a great job of doing what we ask him to do. Hes playing with confidence. If he makes a mistake, he cant wait to get back out there.Hills didnt throw his first interception until last week and isnt making many other mistakes. His supporting cast has made it easier on him, including a group of running backs that are averaging over 8.5 yards per carry.Meanwhile, McSorley is trying to do the same thing for Saquon Barkley by forcing teams to back out of the box. Penn States talented tailback hasnt ran for 100 yards since the season opener.D-LINE BREAKOUT?Penn States defensive line appears to be coming around. Tackle Kevin Givens has looked better with each game and ends Torrence Brown, Evan Schwan and Garrett Sickels have all made plays on the edge where they were burned earlier this season.They could be in for another game where their containment is tested. Marylands Ty Johnson has been the Terps most dangerous outside runner. He tortured Purdue for 204 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries last week.If they can keep Johnson in check, Penn States defensive line will have a shot to get after Hills. Marylands offensive line has allowed nine sacks in the last two games.Even though they may be a little bit undersized, theyre incredibly active, Maryland offensive coordinator Walt Bell said. They have great ball get-off and they have great short-area quickness up front. Thatll be a real test for us, especially inside.CORNERBACK PROS AND WOESMaryland cornerback Will Likely hasnt let his size deter him against Penn States bigger receivers in the past. Hes got seven tackles, an interception and a forced a host of other incompletions or look-aways covering Nittany Lions DaeSean Hamilton and Saeed Blacknall who have big height and weight advantages against the 5-foot-7, 175-pound corner.Likelys hurt Penn State as a returner, too.Already down a handful of linebackers, Penn State is hurting at corner now. Starter Christian Campbell left the Minnesota game with a left leg injury and is doubtful for Saturday. The teams fourth corner, Amani Oruwariye is also questionable with an undisclosed injury.Expect longtime reserve Jordan Smith to play a larger role. He was good against Minnesota with an interception, two pass breakups and four tackles.IN AND OUTFranklin hoped the team would get good news on the hand injury thats kept linebacker Jason Cabinda out but he is out for this game. His replacement Brandon Smith will return to the lineup after leaving the Minnesota game early. Defensive end Curtis Cothran will sit out the first half and be eligible to return in the third quarter, a continuance of a targeting penalty from last week.BORDER BATTLEPenn State has 11 players from the state of Maryland while the Terps boast 10 Pennsylvanians on their roster. In total, 117 players from both states line both rosters.Its always fun playing those guys especially since I know a couple on the team, Maryland defensive lineman Azubuike Ukandu said. Troy Smith Jersey .7 million, one-year contract, a raise of $2.2 million. Wieters had asked for $8.75 million and the Orioles had offered $6. Roger Craig Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. http://www.custom49ersjersey.com/custom-jim-plunkett-jersey-large-1008d.html . Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Fred Warner Jersey . Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that locals say can knock your socks off. Jeremiah Valoaga Jersey . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. RIO DE JANEIRO -- An Olympic champion yet again, Kayla Harrison now has a chance to become an even bigger star.Harrison earned her second straight gold medal in judo on Thursday, winning the 78-kilogram category at the Rio de Janeiro Games. After the bout, she was asked about turning her attention to a professional career in mixed martial arts.She wouldnt say.Im just going to focus on being two-time Olympic champion and decide about punching people in the face at a later date, said Harrison, a friend of MMA star Ronda Rousey.Harrison said she has received multiple offers from various organizations asking her to fight in MMA competitions but has so far turned them all down. Her coach, Jimmy Pedro, said he doubted that she would turn pro, adding she was too nice of a person to do mixed martial arts.After Harrison won the Olympic title in London, she vowed to retire from the competitive grind of the Japanese martial art. She wanted to focus on other things, like becoming a firefighter.That goal, however, kind of dissolved after the last games, she said. She is now planning to spend more time working on her foundation, Fearless, which aims to help victims of sexual abuse. Harrison herself endured years of sexual abuse by a previouus judo coach.ddddddddddddHarrison became the first American to defend an Olympic judo title when she forced Audrey Tcheumeo of France to tap out in the final.With just six seconds left in an otherwise scoreless final, Harrison trapped Tcheumeo in a move that threatened to break her arm, forcing her to submit and handing the American an automatic ippon victory.This is my legacy, Harrison said. I retire as a two-time Olympic champ, one of the greatest the sport has ever seen.Earlier, Harrison won two preliminary fights within minutes after pinning her opponents to the mat for 20 seconds.Tchumeo advanced to the final by beating Myra Aguiar of Brazil. Harrison and Aguiar had been expected to meet in the final.Judo is a sport where the margin of error is slim to none, Pedro said. For Kayla to (defend her title), really is epic.Aguiar and Anamari Velensek won bronze medals.In the mens 100-kilogram division, Lukas Krpalek of the Czech Republic won the countrys first judo gold after defeating Elmar Gasimov of Azerbaijan.The mens bronze medals were won by Cyrille Maret of France and Ryunosoke Haga of Japan.
