COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- DJ Durkin knows exactly what is expected from him in his first season as Marylands head coach.Improving upon last years 3-9 record is a good starting place. Being relevant in the Big Ten is certainly a goal.Mostly, its about providing a measure of hope for a program that never fulfilled expectations under Randy Edsall, who went 22-34 with the Terrapins before being fired six games into the 2015 season.Hired in December, the 37-year-old Durkin is the youngest Maryland head coach since 1954. The former defensive coordinator at Michigan launches a new era on Saturday at home against Howard.I really feel that we have a talented enough team to go play well this year. What equals that, I dont know, Durkin said. I think fans and media equate it to wins and losses. For us, obviously we know the game is about winning.Howard, which went 1-10 last year, probably wont provide the Terps with steep competition. But the game will provide a glimpse of what Durkin accomplished during a tough summer camp.Most of all, Durkin will get a chance to see if the team can play defense the way the Wolverines did under his direction. A year ago, Maryland yielded 413 points.The guys have been filled with a lot of energy, defensive coordinator Andy Buh said, Im really pleased with how their progress has been in the defense.---Some things to know about the Howard-Maryland matchup:PERRYS BACK: New offense, same quarterback. Fifth-year senior Perry Hills returns as a starter, looking to pile up points and cut down on his turnovers. Hills ran for 535 yards and threw eight touchdown passes last year, but he also was intercepted 13 times. He emerged as the winner in a competition during the summer, in part because he proved to the best at being mistake-free. All the things that hes going to have to bring to the table outside of his skills, hes done the best job of taking care of the football, offensive coordinator Walt Bell said. Hes done the best job in terms of mastery of the offensive, operating the line of scrimmage, eliminating a lot of the unforced errors.LIKELY TO SUCCEED: Senior William Likely is widely considered to be the best athlete on the team, and the Terrapins intend to take advantage of that quality. Likely will return kicks, play in the defensive backfield and occasionally line up as a wide receiver. If a guy can play and help us somewhere, were going to use him, Durkin said. Likely started at cornerback last year but also ran the ball 11 times, caught five passes, returned 23 punts and took back 35 kickoffs.EXPERIENCE BEHIND CENTER: Howard quarterback Kalen Johnson threw for 1,174 yards and eight touchdowns last year. Hes also capable of tucking the football and running downfield. Hes a dual threat, Durkin said. He can create plays with his feet and throw the ball.BACKFIELD IN MOTION: Senior Ty Johnson stands atop the depth chart at running back, but Durkin intends to shuffle several players at the position on game day. We have three or four guys that you could make a case for to be the starter, Durkin said. Ty worked really hard and earned the opportunity to be our starter. But well have a good rotation going at that position.CLOSE BY, BUT STILL STRANGERS: This will be the first football game between Maryland and Howard, even though the schools are separated by only 7 + miles. Maryland last played a school based in the nations capital in 1955, when it beat George Washington 19-0. Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Store . Hey!"

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After stumbling at the start of the season, the Arizona Cardinals hope a road win without their starting quarterback is just what they need to get their season back on track.After a fourth straight loss and another lackluster performance by quarterback Blaine Gabbert, the San Francisco 49ers must decide if its time to make a change at quarterback.Drew Stanton threw two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald in the quarterbacks first start in two years, David Johnson ran for 157 yards and two scores and the Cardinals capitalized on San Francisco mistakes to beat the 49ers 33-21 on Thursday night.Weve been saying all week it just starts with one. Just get one win and try to stack them, said defensive lineman Calais Campbell, who had two sacks an interception and a safety for the Cardinals (2-3).Weve been a team in the past that can rip off a bunch of them. ... Now we have to figure out what we can do to keep that ball rolling.The 49ers (1-4), on the other hand, need to figure out whether its time to start over and give Colin Kaepernick a chance at quarterback.Gabbert went just 18 for 31 for 162 yards against the Cardinals, throwing two interceptions and once again struggling to get the ball down field. Gabbert ranks last in the NFL in yards per attempt (5.9) and his 69.6 passer rating is second worst in the league.Its extremely frustrating, Gabbert said. I let this team and this organization down tonight and did not play good whatsoever and thats on me. I had two crucial turnovers there that led to points for the Cardinals and that was the difference in the game right there. I got to do a better job protecting the football and leading this team to scoring more points and winning games.Here are some other takeaways from the game:WE WANT KAP: The 49ers fans made their feelings known in the second half when they started chanting We want Kap! We want Kap! Gabbert responded by leading an 82-yard TD drive fueled in part by his 24-yard run. The chants started again after Gabbert threw his second interception and after the game coach Chip Kelly would not address whether it waas time to make a quarterback change.ddddddddddddere 1-4. Were going to look at everything, he said. We have to make sure were giving our team the best chance to go out and win.DOMINANT D: The Cardinals managed to put pressure on Gabbert all day , especially with their front four. Campbell and Markus Golden each had two sacks as Arizona finished with seven in all against a team that had allowed only three through the first four weeks. It felt good to make a play or two to help the team, Campbell saidBELL COW BACK: With Carson Palmer sidelined by a concussion, the Cardinals turned the offense over to their star second-year back, Johnson. He delivered with 157 yards and two TDs on 27 carries and three catches for 28 yards. Fitzgerald added 81 yards receiving as those two players combined to gain 266 of the teams 288 yards of total offense.I feel unstoppable, basically, Johnson said. Especially with the help of the guys blocking, tight ends, receivers and obviously the O-line. It helps me get going, helps me get into the flow of being able to break some of the tackles, being able to get some of the yards we needed.QUICK TURNAROUND: The game changed in a span of less than 4 minutes starting late in the second quarter. Campbells interception of a deflected pass set up Arizonas first score on a 21-yard pass from Stanton to Fitzgerald with 1:40 left in the half. Davis fumble of the second-half kickoff then set up Johnsons 4-yard run that put Arizona up for good. Gabberts second interception led to a field goal.When youre minus-3 in the turnover column, youre not going to win the football game, Kelly said. It took them 41 yards to get 17 points out of it.BANGED UP LINE: The Cardinals lost both starting guards to injuries with Evan Mathis (foot) and Mike Iupati (leg) both leaving with injuries. John Wetzeel and Earl Watford came in and helped key a 75-yard TD drive that sealed the win in the fourth quarter.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
