Perry Hills and Maryland's turnover turnaround lead to bowl trip

One of the first things Maryland head coach D.J. Durkin did when he took over his new team last winter was give what he deemed a “brutally honest” assessment to his team and his players. Some players left that initial meeting feeling a little hurt. Some left determined to prove the new guy wrong.

GTthe 36 giveaways the Terrapins allowed in 2015 were more than any other team in the FBS, and quarterback Perry Hills played a big role in that stat. He was responsible for 13 interceptions and a handful of fumbles. Given that, it would be assumed that he found himself on the receiving end of a significant dressing down from the new coaching staff.
