COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland couldnt ask for a better scenario to play its first Big Ten game under DJ Durkin.After rolling through their non-conference schedule with three straight wins, the Terrapins spent their bye week getting healthy and correcting the inevitable flaws that come with learning a new system.We got some rest, but we also put a lot of work in, Durkin said.The results will be on display Saturday against Purdue (2-1, 0-0), which has committed nine turnovers in its last two games and will be playing on the road for the first time this season.Its basically a new season for us, Terps left tackle William Dunn said. Every game counts a little bit more. Were prepared for it, were ready for it, excited for it.Maryland (3-0) is winning with a fast-paced offense that is averaging 41 points per game. The Terrapins have outscored their opponents 76-14 in the first half and rank 11th in the nation with 266.7 yards rushing per game.Purdue is a step up from the teams Maryland has faced thus far: Howard, Florida International and Central Florida. The Boilermakers 24-14 victory over Nevada last week enabled them to emerge from September with a winning record for the first time since 2012.I feel like we have a good football team, fourth-year coach Darrell Hazell said. Theyre starting to understand all the things it takes to win. Theyre playing hard and playing fast with confidence. Im sitting here feeling good about our team, but we have a long way to go.Some things to know about the first-ever regular season meeting between Purdue and Maryland:TURNOVER BATTLE: Maryland is one of only two FBS teams (also Western Michigan) without a turnover this season. Purdue has been intercepted seven times and lost three fumbles.Youre always concerned when you turn the ball over, Hazell said. That doesnt give you a good chance to win. Those are things we have to get fixed in order for us to be successful in the Big Ten.David Blough threw five interceptions in Purdues 38-20 loss to Cincinnati, a game in which the Boilermakers amassed 29 first downs and 504 yards in offense.BROWN DELIVERS: The Terrapins formidable running game will be supplemented by the return of Wes Brown, who missed the first three games serving a suspension for violating the schools student athlete code of conduct.Not only will he be a great contributor at tailback, but weve got a great rotation right now, offensive coordinator Walt Bell said.Lorenzo Harrison leads the Terps with 208 yards rushing, followed by Trey Edmunds (148) and Ty Johnson (131).INTO THE UNKNOWN: Purdues only previous game against the Terrapins came in the 2006 Champs Sports Bowl.This will be the Boilermakers first visit to Maryland since 1944, when they lost to Navy in Baltimore.Purdue hopes outscoring Nevada 14-0 in the second half will lead to a successful journey to College Park.Were looking forward to taking this momentum and bringing it on the road with us to Maryland, running back Markell Jones said.TRUE GRIT: Terps quarterback Perry Hills hurt his shoulder in overtime at Central Florida, but the bye week provided him plenty of time to heal.Hills, who ranks fourth on the team in rushing, wont hesitate to take the ball downfield.When you have a quarterback as tough as he is, whos willing to run through a guy, as an offensive lineman you love it, Dunn said. You see that and it makes you want to block harder for that guy.Bough has run for two scores, but his arm is his strength. He can tie a school record Saturday with his third straight 300-yard game.MOVE THE CHAINS: Purdue ranks second in the country in third-down conversions, making 29 of 49 for a solid 59 percent success rate. Maryland is 15 for 39 (38 percent).----AP College Football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Air Max Pas Cher Chine Paypal .

I think as a group were still trying to learn how to win games. We did a good job of it early, and theres definitely a certain talent to being able to win games and close it out. I think maybe were still trying to figure that part out right now.With the score tied 3-3 after two periods, Pouliot and Klefbom scored 2:05 apart to give the Oilers a two-goal lead 5:12 into the third.Voraceks snap shot on a power play pulled the Flyers to 5-4 at 6;31 and Giroux tied it with 7:49 remaining.We know weve got some areas to get better at, and were going to keep working and keep trying to get better as a team, said Giroux, who now has 28 points, 10 behind McDavids league-leading 38. Weve just got to keep working here. Right now the teams just rolling and were winning.McDavid was back in Philadelphia for the first time since breaking a collar bone here last season after a collision with FFlyers defenseman Brandon Manning, an injury that forced him to miss the next 37 games in his rookie campaign.dddddddddddd The two had a minor scuffle in the first period.I did all I could defending him last year in the media, McDavid said of Manning. Everyone wanted to make a big deal saying he did it on purpose, and he wanted to say some comments today about what went on last year. I thought it was one of the (most) classless things Ive ever seen on the ice. He said some things, and our guys responded accordingly.I guess we can put the whole `if he did it on purpose thing to rest because what he said out there kind of confirmed that.Manning said his hit on McDavid last season was not an intent to hurt the budding superstar.I would never intentionally hurt someone, Manning said. Anybody who knows me, I play a hard game. Thats the reason Im here, thats the way Im in the NHL.The Oilers, who came into the game fourth in the NHL in goals, opened the scoring when Draisaitl beat Mason from the left circle at the 4:39 mark of the first.
