Mike Locksley begins Maryland stint with focus on players

When Mike Locksley takes the field as Maryland's interim coach against Penn State on Saturday, he's not worried about getting butterflies or having any nerves in his first game as a team's head coach since 2011. He's just expecting to have "that rock-gut feeling" with all of the scenarios for the afternoon flashing through his mind.

Most of all, Locksley's excited to be back on the field after two whirlwind weeks and to have the opportunity to be back with the Terps for a game in which they're trying to end a three-game losing streak.

For Locksley, that's where the emphasis is going to lie for the final six games of the season: with the players.
