STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Caron Butler Jersey . -- When DJ Durkin and James Franklin spoke about their teams earlier this week, they sounded nearly identical praising young, up-tempo offenses led by dual-threat quarterbacks and highlighted by playmaking running backs.Whichever one takes the next step will have to come at the expense of the other. Penn State (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) hosts Maryland (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) on Saturday in whats become arguably both teams biggest rivalry to date. The teams have split the past two games, each decided by one point after a combined 11 lead changes.I think both teams are going to be going into that stadium on Saturday fired up and excited, Franklin said. They are coming in undefeated. We played an undefeated team last week. We are coming off a big emotional win where the guys just kept fighting and persevering.The Terrapins are seeking their first 5-0 start since 2001 and are averaging 43.3 points per game. Quarterback Perry Hills, like his Penn State counterpart Trace McSorley, has found a groove behind an offensive line that features three former walk-ons.He can beat you with his feet and his arm, Durkin said. Hes doing a great job of doing what we ask him to do. Hes playing with confidence. If he makes a mistake, he cant wait to get back out there.Hills didnt throw his first interception until last week and isnt making many other mistakes. His supporting cast has made it easier on him, including a group of running backs that are averaging over 8.5 yards per carry.Meanwhile, McSorley is trying to do the same thing for Saquon Barkley by forcing teams to back out of the box. Penn States talented tailback hasnt ran for 100 yards since the season opener.D-LINE BREAKOUT?Penn States defensive line appears to be coming around. Tackle Kevin Givens has looked better with each game and ends Torrence Brown, Evan Schwan and Garrett Sickels have all made plays on the edge where they were burned earlier this season.They could be in for another game where their containment is tested. Marylands Ty Johnson has been the Terps most dangerous outside runner. He tortured Purdue for 204 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries last week.If they can keep Johnson in check, Penn States defensive line will have a shot to get after Hills. Marylands offensive line has allowed nine sacks in the last two games.Even though they may be a little bit undersized, theyre incredibly active, Maryland offensive coordinator Walt Bell said. They have great ball get-off and they have great short-area quickness up front. Thatll be a real test for us, especially inside.CORNERBACK PROS AND WOESMaryland cornerback Will Likely hasnt let his size deter him against Penn States bigger receivers in the past. Hes got seven tackles, an interception and a forced a host of other incompletions or look-aways covering Nittany Lions DaeSean Hamilton and Saeed Blacknall who have big height and weight advantages against the 5-foot-7, 175-pound corner.Likelys hurt Penn State as a returner, too.Already down a handful of linebackers, Penn State is hurting at corner now. Starter Christian Campbell left the Minnesota game with a left leg injury and is doubtful for Saturday. The teams fourth corner, Amani Oruwariye is also questionable with an undisclosed injury.Expect longtime reserve Jordan Smith to play a larger role. He was good against Minnesota with an interception, two pass breakups and four tackles.IN AND OUTFranklin hoped the team would get good news on the hand injury thats kept linebacker Jason Cabinda out but he is out for this game. His replacement Brandon Smith will return to the lineup after leaving the Minnesota game early. Defensive end Curtis Cothran will sit out the first half and be eligible to return in the third quarter, a continuance of a targeting penalty from last week.BORDER BATTLEPenn State has 11 players from the state of Maryland while the Terps boast 10 Pennsylvanians on their roster. In total, 117 players from both states line both rosters.Its always fun playing those guys especially since I know a couple on the team, Maryland defensive lineman Azubuike Ukandu said.

LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. ISTANBUL -- Twin attacks by a suicide bomber and a car bomber near an Istanbul soccer stadium Saturday night killed 29 people and wounded 166 others in the latest large-scale assault to traumatize a nation confronting an array of security threats.The bombs targeted police officers, killing 27 of them along with two civilians, Turkeys Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told reporters early Sunday. He added that 10 people had been arrested in connection with the terrorist attack.The civilian death toll was lower because fans had already left the newly built Vodafone Arena Stadium after the soccer match when the blasts occurred. Witnesses also heard gunfire after the explosions.We have once again witnessed tonight in Istanbul the ugly face of terror which tramples on every value and decency, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a statement.The first bomb went off just outside the facility known popularly as Besiktas Stadium after the local team and neighborhood. The second blast that came moments later was attributed by authorities to a suicide bomber.Police cordoned off the area as smoke rose from behind the stadium and ambulances began ferrying the wounded to hospitals. Glass from the blown-out windows of nearby buildings littered the pavement.There was no immediate claim of responsibility. This year, Istanbul has witnessed a spate of attacks attributed by authorities to the Islamic State group or claimed by Kurdish militants. A state of emergency is in force following a failed July 15 coup attempt.Soylu acknowledged the country was struggling against many elements trying to compromise its fight against terrorism.Turkey is a partner in the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State and its armed forces are active in neighboring Syria and Iraq. It is also facing a renewed conflict with an outlawed Kurdish movement in the southeast.Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said Washington condemns the attack in the strongest terms.We stand together with Turkey, our NATO Ally, against all terrorists who threaten Turkey, the United States, and global peace and stability, Price said in a statement.A taxi driver at the site of the Istanbul bombings said their force made him hit his head on the taximeter and that his ears were still ringing from the blasts and screaming that followed.Amid the screams I heard an officer saying `do not shout! Do not make them (the perpetrators) be satisfied, said Ismail Coskun.The first and larger exxplosion took place about 7:30 p. Tracy McGrady Jersey. m. GMT after the home team Besiktas beat visitor Bursaspor 2-1 in the Turkish Super League. Erdogan said the timing of the attack aimed to maximize the loss of life and vowed the nation would overcome terrorism.Soylu said the first explosion was caused by a passing vehicle that detonated in an area where police special forces were located at the stadium exit right after the match. A riot police bus appears to have been the target.Kurdish militants often target security forces while Islamic State-linked attacks have targeted tourists and the broader public.Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said a person who had been stopped in the nearby Macka Park committed suicide by triggering explosives.Investigators, including Istanbul Police Chief Mustafa Caliskan, were quickly on the scene. Forensic experts in white uniforms scoured the vicinity of the stadium and the vast park where the suicide bombing took place.The Besiktas sports club strongly condemned the attack and said an employee of one of its stores was among the fatalities, as well as a member of its congress who was also responsible for security at the stadium.Bursaspor reported that none of the wounded were fans and issued a statement wishing a speedy recovery to our wounded citizens.Health Minister Recep Akdag said six of the wounded remained in intensive care, with three of them in critical condition.Aleksander Ceferin, president of European soccers governing body UEFA, and European Union Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn, also made statements condemning the attack.Violence has no place in a democratic society, Hahn wrote on Twitter.EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini expressed the blocs solidarity with Turkish citizensThe U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul, meanwhile, urged its citizens to avoid the area which is also home to a Ritz Carlton hotel.Turkeys radio and television board issued a temporary coverage ban citing national security concerns. It said to avoid broadcasts that can result in public fear, panic or chaos, or that will serve the aims of terrorist organizations.---Cinar Kiper, Ayse Wieting and Mehmet Guzel in Istanbul contributed reporting.
