For good reason, Maryland first-year coach Mike Locksley has no desire to look into the past before leading the Terrapins into Friday night’s matchup with No. 12 Penn State. Locksley insists recent results in the terribly lopsided Penn State-Maryland series will have no bearing on what happens before a rare sellout crowd in College Park for the Big Ten opener. Funny thing is, Nittany Lions coach James Franklin agrees with the assessment.(AP Photo/Chris Szagola, File)
