Using His Alabama Lessons, Mike Locksley Already Has Maryland's Offense Humming

Welcome to Rewind Monday, where we take a closer look at one of the weekend's top storylines in college football. This week, it's Maryland's offensive start under new coach Mike Locksley after routing No. 21 Syracuse.

The drives were not much longer than four hours, and Josh Jackson was never alone. His girlfriend was along for the ride. In fact, he’d stay with her family on Friday nights in Alexandria, Virginia, and then make the 25-mile commute north to College Park, Maryland, each Saturday for a daylong of football activities with his new team. He’d attend meetings before practice, watch drills from the sideline and then hang out with teammates.
