MIAMI -- A combination of execution and fun has helped Maryland open the season with two convincing wins.But the combination of Perry Hills to DJ Mre hasnt hurt either.Hills threw for three touchdowns, two to Mre, to lead Maryland to a 41-14 win over Florida International on Friday night.Hills completed 13-of-18 passes for 210 yards in three quarters. He connected with Mre for a 45-yard touchdown pass and Derrick Hayward for a 9-yard score in the second quarter to give Maryland a 31-7 advantage at halftime. Lorenzo Harrison scored on a 40-yard run for the Terrapins fourth touchdown of the first half.Were doing an unbelievable job of executing, Hills said. We all came out here and had a gd time. Thats the final point -- to come out here and have fun.Mre finished with six receptions and 147 yards for Maryland (2-0).We watched on film (FIU cornerbacks) were going to play soft often so that was something we were going to attack, Mre said.First-year Maryland head coach DJ Durkin rested Hills after his third touchdown pass -- a 40-yard catch and run by Mre with 2:21 remaining in the third quarter.Just pleased the way we came out and played, Durkin said. I thought our guys prepared really well, traveled really well. That was a big thing for us coming and how we were going to go through it as a team.Its not easy getting road wins in college ftball. The way our guys responded, Im really excited for them.The Terrapins never trailed after taking a 10-0 lead on Adam Greenes 23-yard field and Jermaine Carters 15-yard interception return in the first quarter.Carters interception was the third interception return for FIU quarterback Alex McGough.Im proud of this ftball team; I love this ftball team, FIU head coach Ron Turner said. Im disappointed for them more because we battled and we did a lot of gd things defensively and I think they wore our defense down.Alex Gardner rushed for 109 yards and scored on a four-yard run in the second quarter for the Panthers (0-2).We should be putting out more points as an offense because were experienced so its frustrating, Gardner said. But the great thing about sports is that we get another chance.The Terrapins are now 5-0 in their all-time series against the Panthers.THE TAKEAWAYMARYLAND: The passing connection usually is Hills to Mre but the combination switched roles on a reverse play in the first quarter, when Mre completed a 21-yard pass to Hills that led to Greenes field goal. That was fun, I almost lost the ball for a second in the lights, first career catch, Hills said.FIU: McGough limped off the field after attempting to tackle Carter during his interception. Red-shirt freshman Maurice Alexander replaced McGough for the next three series. Although McGough returned with 56 seconds remaining in the first half, Alexander played the entire second half. Turner said McGough experienced stiffness in his lower back and he sat him out the rest of the game as a precaution.UP NEXTMARYLAND: Its back to the Sunshine State next weekend for the Terrapins, who play at Central Florida on Sept. 17 in the final tune-up before opening their Big Ten schedule at home against Purdue on Oct. 1.FIU: The Panthers return to UMass for a second consecutive year, going to Amherst on Sept. 17.Rams Jerseys China .

To put that into reality [would be amazing], he said. Were going to the Olympics not to just participate, but to try to win a gold medal. We all believe in it.It was a view shared by fellow NBA star Matthew Dellavedova, and Australian coach Andrej Lemanis, who said: Its something weve spoken about as a team and we believe we have enough talent and enough chemistry to go to Rio and be successful. I dont think its any secret that as a team weve set our sights on the gold medal.However, Pac-12 coach Mike Montgomery said while he respected a lot about the Bmers, he didnt see them taking home the ultimate prize at Rio.Its going to be difficult for them, realistically, he said. I dont know whos playing for all the various countries ... but its going to be difficult.They [the Bmers] do play very well together, they understand their strengths and weaknnesses.dddddddddddd. If they continue to move the ball well, and be physical, theyll have a chance. But the U.S team is awfully strong; theyre a little bit weakened after some guys elected not to play but theyre still awfully gd.[But], why would you go into any tournament not thinking youre going to win it? That certainly has to be your goal. Itll be fun to watch them.Montgomerys squad, made up of some of the best college talent in the U.S, pushed the Bmers hard in their first clash before the Bmers lifted several gears to secure a dominant 30-point win in the second game.Montgomery said Australias physicality, team spirit and high-pressure defence would give them the best chances against the premier teams in the world, adding the availability of hobbled big man Andrew Bogut could prove crucial.Theyre not as athletic as they need to be, I think they know that. We were able to create some opportunities with our kids and our quickness and they have to work so hard in team defence to disrupt things, the former NBA and Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame coach said.[But] theyre strong, theyre physical. The thing about the Australians that I really like is they are very, very proud to represent their country. Its a very close-knit group; they love being from here, theyre very proud to be Australian and have done well as a result of that.I doubt Bogut will play, maybe he will, and he gives them such great inside presence, and they sht the ball well and execute well. Theyre going to have to play very very hard to have a chance with the level of competition at the Olympics but I think they will do that. ' ' '
