head coach, his most vivid memory will be an impromptu celebration that occurred
long after the final whistle.Durkin enjoyed a lopsided victory in his debut at
Maryland, overseeing a dominant performance that carried the Terrapins past
Howard 52-13 on Saturday.Durkin left his job as Michigans defensive coordinator
in December to guide a team that went 3-9 in 2015. Walking on the sideline in a
black baseball cap, an untucked red polo shirt and long black pants, the
37-year-old coach was quite satisfied with the blowout.Great day for our
program, Durkin said. A great win for us, a great way to start.The Terrapins
(1-0) scored on their first four possessions and the defense began the game by
forcing Howard into five consecutive three-and-outs.It was 35-0 at halftime, and
Maryland coasted from there.Afterward, Durkin and the team gathered in the
locker room and sang the school fight song together.The look on their faces,
thats what you do it for, he said. Thats what its all about.The players hope
this is the dawn of a new era at a school that for years has struggled to be
competitive.I have seen a few coaches come in and out, so it was a special
moment to see him get that first win under his belt, said running back Kenneth
Goins Jr., who scored the games first touchdown.Perry Hills went 14 for 19 for
126 yards, Trey Edmunds scored twice in the first quarter and Maryland topped
the 500-yard mark in total offense (519) for only the second time in 36
games.Theyre a strong team, Howard coach Gary Harrell said. Theyre very
disciplined and coached very well.Howard (0-1) won only one game last year while
being outscored 408-169, so this game wasnt necessarily an indication of the
Terrapins improvement under Durkin. That answer may not come until Maryland
begins Big Ten play next month.There are obviously plenty of things to clean up,
get corrected and do much better, Durkin said.Still, there were lots of
positives for the Terrapins against the neighboring Bison of the Mid-Eastern
Athletic Conference.Durkin got this job because of his defensive knowledge, and
the Terrapins were exceptionally stingy. Howard finished with only 69 yards
rushing (compared to 315 for Maryland) and didnt get into the end zone until
Durkin emptied his bench in the fourth quarter.They have more resources, and we
know were the underdog coming in, said Bison receiver Jalen Avery, who had four
catches for 26 yards.Hills, in contrast, had no problem moving on the Bison.
More importantly, he protected the ball. After finishing with a minus-18
turnover differential last year, the Terrapins did not give the ball
away.Freshman backup quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome entered in the third quarter.
He threw for 60 yards, and ran for 53 yards and a TD.Maryland also got a
touchdown from its special teams: Edmunds took a blocked punt 13 yards into the
end zone for a 21-0 lead.Durkin, meanwhile, said the biggest difference in his
new job was trying to oversee the entire team rather than focus on the
defense.There were times when the defense was on the field when I was getting
antsy, he said. Im usually doing more when theyre out on the field.THE
TAKEAWAYHOWARD: The Bison received a decent fee for coming to Maryland, so
theres that. But their lackluster performance indicates they might again have
difficulty being competitive in the MEAC.MARYLAND: The aura of mystery
surrounding the program under Durkin has, to a degree, been lifted. Although a
victory over Howard wont impress the Top 25 voters, it just might enhance the
players confidence and perhaps generate some enthusiasm from a fan base that
hasnt quite gotten behind the Terps -- as evidenced by the thousands of empty
seats among a crowd of 35,474.UP NEXTHOWARD: The Bison face another Big Ten
opponent on the road, Rutgers next Saturday at noon.MARYLAND: The Terrapins
first road game under Durkin will be at Florida International on Friday night.
Maryland is 4-0 all-time against FIU.

.875,000, avoiding arbitration. Clippards deal Monday means all eight Nationals
players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a hearing. If what
they say is true and everybody loves an underdog, 2016 will be remembered as one
of the best years in the almanacs of sport.From the unheralded Danny Willett
taking out the US Masters title to 5000 to 1 shot Leicester City winning the
English Premier League, it has been a great year to be an outsider.Are the
Cronulla Sharks also about to follow suit and write the next chapter in a
growing collection of sporting fairy tales?Cronulla, for decades, have provided
more punchlines than punch in the NRL but as they celebrate their 50th year they
are circling a maiden rugby league premiership.Just two years ago, Cronulla
claimed the wooden spoon after becoming embroiled in a supplements scandal that
disrupted their season and threatened the clubs existence; how times have
changed.When UBET tabled their first market for season 2016, the Sharks were
quoted at a generous $17 to break the drought.They firmed into $11 ahead of the
season opener but the initial odds appeared more than justified after two
defeats in the first three rounds.Their slow start saw them slump to 10th on the
NRL ladder, their premiership odds ease back out to $13 and left their
long-suffering fans feeling as empty as their trophy cabinet.Fast-forward to
round 20, and Cronulla are closing on their first minor premiership since 1999
with hope growing as fast as the odds are shortening that this could finally be
their year. They are now $4.25 second-favouritess with UBET.dddddddddddd?Since
their 22-12 loss to Manly in mid-March, they have gone on a 14-match unbeaten
run and, as each round passes, interest in the Sharks has steadily increased
from a nibble into a frenzy.?They are almost unbackable this Sunday to equal the
fifth-best mark set by Souths, Manly and Melbourne with 15 straight victories
when they take on the bottom-placed Newcastle.The Roosters team of 1975 hold the
longest winning streak with 19 matches, but UBET rate the Sharks of 2016 as a
genuine chance of breaking that record -- quoting $13 for them to reach 21 by
the end of the regular season.And their draw looks favourable with winnable
games in the following rounds until the week before the finals, when they will
run into fellow premiership contenders Melbourne.?If Cronulla manage to clear
that obstacle then the focus will shift to an inconceivable 24 straight wins
through the finals; achieve that and nobody could deny them their first ever
premiership triumph.ESPN columnist Brett Kimmorley is already a believer; hes
predicted his former club will keep the run going, and rubbished the theory that
they need to lose a game before the finals.Winning form is good form, Kimmorley
said.They havent been at their best lately but theyve still found ways to win
which is important in the finals.
