COLLEGE PARK — There have been plenty of words and phrases like "buy in" or "culture change" thrown around at Maryland since DJ Durkin became coach in early December. And many times, those can be empty placeholders filled with ambiguity to distract from any real meaning.
But at Maryland, it appears that there is a distinct drive behind those words. In a program that went 23-39 over the past five seasons, the Terps are simply tired of losing, so they've responded to Durkin and his staff's message and changes.
"No one likes to lose and we knew that something had to be done, something had to be changed," fifth-year senior quarterback Perry Hills said Tuesday at Maryland's media day.
