sgo777 Andrew Schulz Responds to Kendrick Lamar’s Warning to White Comedians on Treatment of Black WomenBERWYN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 21, 2024-- Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRPX) (“Virpax” or the “Company”) , a company specializing in developing pharmaceutical products for pain management, announced that it has been granted an extension of its cooperative research and development agreement with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), an institute/center of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This collaboration is for the continued development of Virpax’s product candidate, NES100, an intranasal peptide, for the management of acute and chronic non-cancer pain. NES100 is an enkephalin drug product based on a type of nanotechnology delivery approach. Enkephalin is a naturally occurring (endogenous) peptide that is not easily administered in its original form. We believe that the nanotechnology may enable and enhance the delivery of this metabolically labile peptide drug into the brain. NES100 is the first investigational product formulation delivered via the nasal route with the potential to enhance enkephalin transport to the brain. NES100 uses a preassembled device and cartridge to propel the enkephalin formulation through the nose to the brain by flowing along the olfactory nerve pathway. The Molecular Envelope Technology (MET) is designed to protect and help carry the drug to the brain with the goal of promptly suppressing pain by binding to the delta opioid receptors. NES100 has demonstrated analgesic potential in animal models without the development of opioid tolerance, withdrawal, respiratory depression, euphoria, or addiction associated with use of opioids. Jatinder Dhaliwal, Chief Executive Officer of Virpax, commented, "We are excited that this collaboration has been extended with NCATS and the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative as we believe that it may help Virpax develop an effective and safe alternative to conventional opioids used by patients to manage acute and chronic pain. We believe that the NIH/NCATS collaborative agreement will enable our team to maintain momentum in both our pre-clinical and clinical development strategies." About Virpax Pharmaceuticals Virpax is developing branded, non-addictive pain management products candidates using its proprietary technologies to optimize and target drug delivery. Virpax is initially seeking FDA approval for two prescription drug candidates that employ two different patented drug delivery platforms. ProbudurTM is a single injection liposomal bupivacaine formulation being developed to manage post-operative pain and EnveltaTM is an intranasal molecular envelope enkephalin formulation being developed to manage acute and chronic pain, including pain associated with cancer. Virpax is also using its intranasal Molecular Envelope Technology (MET) to develop one other prescription product candidate, NobrXiolTM, which is being developed for the nasal delivery of a pharmaceutical-grade cannabidiol (CBD) for the management of rare pediatric epilepsy. Virpax has competitive cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs) for two of its prescription drug candidates, one with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and one with the Department of Defense (DOD). Virpax is also seeking partners for two nonprescription product candidates: AnQlar, which is being developed to inhibit viral replication caused by influenza or SARS-CoV-2, and EpoladermTM, which is a topical diclofenac spray film formulation being developed to manage pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Carlsbad names Geoff Patnoe as next city managerTravis Hunter named AP player of the year

Winston's performance in snowy win over Steelers adds new layer to Browns' quarterback conundrumWild Horse Reservoir is 99% ice covered with very unsafe ice and South Fork is about 50% ice covered with very unsafe ice. Already on social media, people are asking if it is safe to go on the ice at Wild Horse. One person even said if it was “sketchy” he might still go ice fishing. Not a good idea. Doucette The most dangerous time to be on the ice is at the beginning and the end of the ice fishing season when the ice conditions can change in a heartbeat. What is 4 inches thick one day may be 2 inches or even open water the next, depending on winds, water currents, springs, or temperature. When talking ice thickness and safety, we are talking about hard clear ice, not packed snow, not slush and not gray ice with air bubbles in it. If the ice is 2 inches thick or less, stay off. At 4 inches, a person can walk on the ice and it should be safe for fishing as long as anglers are spaced far apart. While the Nevada Department of Wildlife doesn’t recommend taking a vehicle on the ice, it is generally accepted that seven inches of clear hard ice will support a snowmobile or ATV. No matter what, use common sense and always err on the side of caution. Ice claws should be worn by everyone on the ice. Ice claws can be purchased at a sporting goods store or made using two pieces of one and a half-inch diameter dowel (or pieces of a broom handle) about six inches long, with a large nail imbedded into one end. Join the two pieces of dowel using three to four feet of heavy cord or light rope that goes through the dowels at the opposite end from the nails. The rope joining the two claws together should go through both sleeves of the jacket and across the back, allowing them to be readily available if you go through the ice. Just like seat belts and personal flotation devices, ice claws don’t do you any good if they aren’t being worn when you fall through the ice. Put a piece of cork or candle on the end of the nails to keep from poking yourself. If you should fall through the ice, stay calm. Don’t take winter clothing off, as it will help keep warmth in and may add some buoyancy. When trying to get out, return in the direction from which you fell, the ice there is more likely to be thicker and able to support you better as you try to get out. Ice near open water is slippery and hard to get traction on, so kick your legs using a swim-type motion to help propel you onto the ice. Grip an ice claw in each hand, sticking the nail end into the ice and pull yourself to safety. Once on the ice remain in a prone position, spreading your weight over a larger area, until reaching ice that will definitely support you. If a companion should fall through the ice, don’t approach the edge to try to help them; your role may quickly change from rescuer to victim. Never try to rescue them alone, unless absolutely necessary, go get help. Use a rope, stick, fishing rod, or some other long item to try to reach them from safe ice. As stated earlier, stay in a prone position, spreading your weight over a larger area while trying to help someone who has fallen through. Once safety is reached, treat for hypothermia. There are other safety items that may be taken along. A rope for throwing to someone who has fallen through the ice is a good idea. Put a loop and a large knot at one end because cold hands don’t grip very well. A type IV personal floatation device can be thrown to someone in the water. It can also be used to sit or kneel on until needed for an emergency. While everyone worries about falling through the ice, it is much more common to slip and fall on the ice, causing serious injuries including broken bones and concussions. Crampons are spikes that can be attached like an overshoe to the outside of your boots to help you keep your footing. These can be found at many sporting goods or outdoor clothing stores. Finally, staying warm is very important, as hypothermia is a real threat when combining cold temperatures with getting wet when handling fish or cleaning out the fishing hole. Dress in layers and avoid cotton clothing. Wool retains its insulating ability when wet and is a good choice. There are also synthetics that wick water away from the body if you are allergic to wool. Now would be a good time to prep your ice fishing and wait for the ice to truly be thick enough to safely walk on before venturing out ice fishing. As a general rule, Wild Horse isn’t safe for ice fishing until after New Year’s and South Fork even later. Some years, South Fork may never be safe for ice fishing, depending upon weather conditions. The lake is almost completely covered in very unsafe ice. On Monday it was about 1 to 1.5 inches thick with some open water around a number of pressure ridges that are already starting to form due to very warm daytime highs and cold nights. Daytime highs are forecast in the mid 40s until Sunday, so there won’t be much in the way of ice growth. As a general rule, the ice isn’t thick enough for ice fishing until around New Years. As of Monday, the lake was 40% to 50% ice covered with very unsafe ice. There was some open water south of the main boat ramp cove and Jet Ski Beach was wide open for fishing. Shore fishing for trout was very good early this week for fly rodders and fair to good for bait anglers. Fly fishers were using both balanced leeches and chironomids. Balanced leeches in black/red, black/blue, wine or olive were working. Hot green or red bead heads on the balanced leeches seemed to produce more fish. Snow cones, chironocones, zebra midges in black or red, and Yankee buzzers were all catching fish. Wooly buggers sized 6 to 10 and leech patterns sized 10 to 14 in the black/red, black/blue, wine and dark red stripped on a sinking line should also work. Bait anglers were catching fish with a small piece of worm suspended about three feet below a bobber approximately 15 to 20 feet from shore. Some unsafe ice here with some open water as of this past Monday. There was no indication of anyone fishing it. The same techniques that work at South Fork work here. No recent report, but this lake is often similar to South Fork as far as ice conditions, so expect some unsafe ice but also some open water for fishing. The water level is good for this time of year and visibility is good. At last report fishing for trout was good and should still be good close to shore. The same techniques and presentations that work at South Fork work here. With recent and forecast precipitation, expect muddy road conditions on the way out. Approximately 9,800 trout were stocked in late October. There was some ice formation at the main boat ramp in the south lake as well as some ice in places on the collection ditch. Fishing in the collection ditch continues to be good for trout averaging 15 to 20 inches, with some fish over 20 inches. Water clarity is good and water levels continue to be very good though vegetation is still thick in many areas. Fishing for brown and tiger trout is still good in the collection ditch. Fly anglers have had luck stripping wooly buggers, leeches or small streamers in black or olive using short slow strips. Nymphs under an indicator are working best. Patterns to fish include eggs, chironomids, PT nymphs, gold ribbed hares ears and copper Johns. Spin fishermen should be using spinners, Kastmasters, panther Martins and other small lures fished slowly. It is artificial presentations only in the collection ditch, which includes the pond behind the hatchery all the way to Brown Dike. Wading is not allowed the entire length of the collection ditch. No recent report, but anglers should expect unsafe ice forming here. There may be some open water. At last report, fishing was fair to good for 13- to 16-inch trout. Either dark or flashy spinners or small plastic baits fished with varying retrieves should work. Worms or PowerBait fished under a bobber is best for bait anglers. For fly rodders, wooly buggers and leech patterns on a sink tip or intermediate sinking line have been working. The usual assortment of nymph and chironomid patterns are also producing a few fish. Expect unsafe ice here along with some open water for fishing. Fishing should be good for rainbow trout and tiger trout in the 9- to 12-inch range. Anglers fishing for trout should use spinners, nightcrawlers, and PowerBait. Fly fishers should use midge patterns, leeches or woolly buggers. Fish the buggers and leeches slowly. Cave Lake is lowered to minimum pool and unfishable. Cave Lake is closed to fishing due to shorelines that are very soft and dangerous due to the complete saturation of the soil. Comins is covered with varying thicknesses of ice, with the north lake being 40% open water. Anglers report 3 to 5 inches of ice and anglers may want to give it another week or two before venturing upon the ice. Even then, drill test holes as you head onto the ice. If anglers attempt to fish from shoreline, a mix of spinners, nightcrawlers, PowerBait, and a fly behind a bubble should catch fish. Comins received 10,043 rainbow trout this fall averaging 8.9 inches. During northern pike suppression efforts this fall, rainbow trout were observed in the 1.5- to 4-pound range. Please note that NDOW has placed radio tags in several northern pike. These pike will have an orange Floy tag near their dorsal fin and a small antenna (~ 7 inches long) coming from their stomach. Please return these fish to the water for research purposes. Please do not return pike without the tags back to the lake. Black bass fishing is poor. There is a limited bluegill fishery at Comins and anglers are encouraged to release bluegill so that their population can become better established. Illipah Reservoir is covered with 3 to 5 inches of ice with some water on top of the ice near the middle of the reservoir. Ice near standing water should be considered unsafe. Give this lake another week or two before trying to ice fish and drill test holes as you venture upon it. The road to Angel Lake was closed for the winter earlier this week. There will be no fishing reports until May, when the road re-opens. Ice has covered the high mountain lakes. Anglers can expect winter conditions in the high country and only experienced back country travelers should visit them. There will be no more reports on these waters until late spring or early summer depending upon snow conditions. With colder temperatures and fish being cold blooded, they are moving more slowly. So anglers need to slow presentations down and spend more time fishing sections of streams. The colder weather is also starting to lock up some of the moisture in ice, slowing stream flows a bit. With recent snowfall, expect 4WD conditions in Lamoille Canyon. The tail water below South Fork is still producing some trout but flows are very low, so fish are holding in the pools. Water conditions below Wild Horse Dam in the East Fork of the Owyhee River have dropped significantly and icy wading conditions and snow are keeping many anglers away. The flows on the Jarbidge and Bruneau rivers are still low, and haven’t changed much and fishing has been slow to fair. Access to the Bruneau and Jarbidge is probably through Idaho. As of Dec. 4, the East Fork of the Owyhee was flowing at 2.39 cfs below the dam and showing ice at Mountain City; the Jarbidge flowing at 5.05 cfs; the Bruneau was showing ice; Salmon Falls Creek was at 41.0 cfs; Lamoille Creek at 2.76 cfs; the South Fork of the Humboldt at 5.03 cfs; Cleve Creek at 7.05 cfs; and Steptoe Creek at 4.42 cfs.

Apple Plans Fifth UAE Store as Local Investment Climbs

WHEN Princess Andre was born to pop culture royalty Katie Price and Peter Andre in 2007, everyone was wondering if she’d follow in her mum or dad’s career footsteps. Fast forward to now, the answer is neither. Instead, the 17-year-old is crafting out a unique career for herself on social media and actually drawing inspiration from outside of the family. The teen influencer has a whopping 733,000 followers on Instagram, and is often regarded as a “real life princess by fans”. The clue's in the name, we guess. Some supporters have also compared her to influencer royalty, Molly-Mae Hague, 25. The symmetry between both girls stretches beyond their looks, though - and it’s likely Princess has studied Molly-Mae’s spectacular rise to fame. Mum-of-one Molly-Mae starred in the fifth series of the ITV2 dating reality television show Love Island back in 2018. Since then, she’s become Britain’s most recognisable influencer with 8.3 million Instagram followers and an estimated net worth of £6 million. Her ascent from reality star to British Vogue interviewee is a path that Princess can easily replicate, experts believe. “Princess has parents who are commercially aware and have been in the public eye since they were young,” Pam Lyddon, publicist at Bright Star Digital, tells Fabulous. “I suspect they have given her great advice and looked to Molly-Mae for inspiration.” And while most influencers don’t have a big plan and instead try to cram as many deals in as possible, Pam believes that “it’s obvious that Princess has a clear vision”. This vision is expected to help her achieve her goal of having £1 million in the bank by age 20, something which she revealed as our cover star in October . “She’s in this for the long run,” Pam says. “And when the time is right, I’m sure she’ll start to expand elsewhere to increase her profile.” Molly-Mae was candid about her “game plan” after leaving the iconic ITV villa in summer 2018. So, it's likely Princess is adapting that strategy to secure herself as influencer royalty too- and there's five obvious steps that experts have pointed out. Molly-Mae executed a dermal and lip filler U-turn in 2020 when she decided to get everything dissolved after being trolled for looking like an “Xbox controller” and being facially “warped”. Now, the mum-of-one is proudly more natural in her appearance after admitting to “making that many mistakes when she was younger” when it came to aesthetic tweakments. Princess isn’t anti-filler per se, but it’s not something she ever plans to experiment with - a far cry from her mum and more in keeping with Molly-Mae’s current stance . Katie has said in the past she reckons her 17 boob jobs and everything else in between - including face lifts, fillers, fox eye threads and more - has put Princess off going under the knife for life. MUM-of-five Katie Price has previously said it is "normal "Princess doesn't want any surgery and she doesn't need it either," Katie told OK! Magazine . "I know people say I didn't need it, but I'm in my forties and I want it and I'll do it. "[Princess] has seen me have enough done to put her off. "Surgery is just the norm for my kids, the amount of times they've seen their mum get it. "If I haven't put them off, then I don't know what will!" “I think it’s important, especially for the younger generation on social media, to embrace natural beauty,” Princess told Fabulous . “I don’t change my opinion of someone if they choose to have surgery. “Yes, I do know people who want to do that, but it’s just not something I want to do.” According to PR expert Luana, refusing botox and fillers is a great move for Princess’ influencer career as it’s something that helped catapult Molly-Mae’s popularity. “Challenging unrealistic standards and promoting self acceptance will be a winner among her target audience,” she predicts. “They may benefit from the encouragement to embrace and love their natural features without feeling pressure to conform to a specific look.” Molly-Mae was fast fashion brand PrettyLittleThing’s core brand ambassador after leaving Love Island. She was then infamously promoted to Creative Director in August 2021, before stepping down from the position in June 2023 to focus on being a mum. Interestingly, Princess has been building a relationship with the Manchester-based brand since April 2023. The teen has been invited to a number of its star-studded events, shopped in its Los Angeles showroom and promoted outfits from the brand on social media. But one PR expert has issued her a warning for "mimicking" Molly-Mae’s fame strategy to a T. When looking at her plan to partner with PrettyLittleThing, Princess needs to consider partnerships with those who match her brand values,” comments Luana Ribeira, founder of Dauntless PR. “She needs to work out who is a fit audience-wise rather than just mimicking what Molly-Mae did.” Molly-Mae is a self-confessed cosy girl. Her Instagram grid comes to life in autumn and winter, with the mum-of-one holding an unparalleled ability to sell out any jacket on the high street. She’s famed for posing in Uggs, dark-toned loungewear sets, tracksuits and oversized scarves. A quick glance at Princess’ grid this winter proves that her fashion taste leans into the Molly-Mae hype. Earlier this week, the teen beamed about “cosy season” as she posed in a brown loungewear set and leather jacket. Of course, all three items are from PrettyLittleThing. One fan commented: “Very autumnal. Looking on point young lady.” Another quipped: “You’re a beautiful girl, never change a thing.” Princess isn’t your typical influencer - or nepo baby, a label she’s given due to having famous parents but not once she’s bothered by. She’s long been in the spotlight and was thrust onto the nation’s screens as a newborn in her parents’ ITV reality series, Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries. But that hasn’t stopped her from striving to be relatable on social media - the same winning strategy that Molly-Mae employs in her YouTube vlogs and Instagram stories. “Princess is very privileged but her content comes across as family and home-loving,” tells publicist Pam Lyddon. “And that’s very relatable.” Princess is very privileged but her content comes across as family and home-loving From showcasing inside her messy make-up drawer (which it’s worth noting is full of products cheaper than a tenner ) to snaps from family dinners and looking after her younger siblings , the teen is appealing to an audience who want ‘realness’ from influencers. Away from the whirlwind of photoshoots and red-carpet events, Princess is one of eight siblings in a big, blended family. Her dad Peter married doctor Emily MacDonagh , 35, in 2015, and they have three children together: Amelia, 10, Theo, seven, and six-month-old Arabella. Katie had two - Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10 - with now-ex Kieran Hayler as well as Harvey, her 22-year-old son from a relationship with former footballer Dwight Yorke . Princess founded a small-time jewellery brand, named Sparkle, when she was just 16-years-old. Similarly, Molly-Mae launched fake tan brand Filter shortly after her Love Island stint. The beauty label, which initially started as a single mousse product, now flogs spritz, drops, tonics and scrubs - and is stocked in Selfridges and Boots. This business growth isn’t out of the picture for Princess, according to PR expert Luana. “Launching her own brand, in her own style, and selling what she is passionate about is a great idea,” she tells Fabulous. “Princess already has an audience who are likely to buy her jewellery. “This will increase her credibility and connection with her audience as long as the jewellery is of great quality.”Travis Hunter named AP player of the year

Caitlin Clark fans all say the same thing as she supports boyfriend Connor McCaffery at ButlerNORMAL, Ill. (AP) — Wenkers Wright ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns and No. 13 Illinois State knocked off North Dakota for the first time, 35-13 in the regular season finale for both teams Saturday. The Redbirds are 9-2 (6-2 Missouri Valley Conference) and are looking to reach the FCS playoffs for the first time since 2019 and sixth time in Brock Spack's 16 seasons as head coach. Illinois State opened the game with some trickery. Eddie Kasper pulled up on a fleaflicker and launched a 30-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Loyd to cap a seven-play, 70-yard opening drive. Simon Romfo tied it on North Dakota's only touchdown of the day, throwing 20 yards to Nate DeMontagnac. Wright scored from the 10 to make it 14-7 after a quarter, and after C.J. Elrichs kicked a 20-yard field goal midway through the second to make it 14-10 at intermission, Wright powered in from the 18 and Mitch Bartol caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Rittenhouse to make it 28-10 after three. Seth Glatz added a 13-yard touchdown run to make it 35-10 before Elrichs added a 37-yard field goal to get the Fighting Hawks on the board to set the final margin. Rittenhouse finished 21 of 33 passing for 187 yards for Illinois State. Loyd caught eight passes for 121 yards. Romfo completed 11 of 26 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown with an interception for North Dakota (5-7, 2-6). Illinois State faced North Dakota for just the fourth time and third time as Missouri Valley Conference opponents. The Redbirds lost the previous three meetings.

'Iran won’t retreat in the face of any power'Brian Burns on Giants’ pathetic showing vs. Buccaneers: ‘That’s a--’COLLEGE PARK — Maryland football’s on Saturday afternoon was an exercise in polar opposites. The Terps (4-7, 1-7 Big Ten) entered the game as one of the lowest ranked rushing offenses in the conference, while the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3) relied on their running backs more than any other team. That dichotomy was certainly on display at SECU Stadium. With sophomore quarterback Jackson Stratton making his first start of the season, Iowa handed the ball off 58 times, gaining 268 yards and two touchdowns. Of Maryland’s 57 overall snaps, the offense rushed the ball 26 times for 98 yards and zero scores. The Hawkeyes’ success on the ground contributed to them dominating the clock as they ran up a 37:41-22:19 advantage in time of possession. Terps coach Mike Locksley acknowledged the benefits Iowa accumulated from its rushing attack and clock management. “It gives them confidence to sustain drives,” he said. “When you look at what they were able to do and get executed, when you’re dealing with a quarterback that’s not healthy, it’s what you would want to get accomplished, and we weren’t able to do it in the run game. To take a little pressure off of our quarterback, you need to be able to cover people up, and in the last few weeks, I saw us do that. Today, when you talk about the run game, it takes just one breakdown, and now it looks like it’s not working. We had a few of those one-man breakdowns that didn’t allow us to get into a rhythm on the offensive side to help our defense. That’s what we would have needed to do.” Here are three observations from Saturday’s loss. The redshirt junior quarterback had one of his poorest outings of the season (5 of 8 passing for 26 yards and zero touchdowns) before getting knocked out of the game after a hard tackle in the third quarter. But he set the tone for his teammates. Edwards injured the thumb on his right (throwing) hand a couple weeks ago, according to Locksley, and wore a glove to protect the thumb. The pain was enough to prevent him from throwing in practice until Thursday. “We just kind of tried to rest the thumb to give him a chance,” Locksley said. “He gives us the best chance to win as our leader on the offensive side of the ball. But obviously [with] him not being able to go, we tried to add the run game element and tried to focus and force the run game like we did a week ago.” Edwards’ determination did not go unnoticed by senior wide receiver Tai Felton. “All week, he was fighting just to play in the game with the thumb,” said Felton, who caught six passes for 57 yards and two touchdowns. “His thumb’s been hurting all week. Like I tell you guys all the time, he comes in ready to work — hurt or not. He was still in the facility morning up to sun down all week. So he obviously was putting in the extra work with recovery and stuff like that, trying to get the thumb right. That guy’s a fighter. I appreciate him so much, and he does a lot for this program in his three or four years he’s been here.” Redshirt sophomore MJ Morris replaced Edwards, went 12 of 23 for 103 yards, and mixed two touchdown passes with two interceptions. But barring further complications to the thumb or the physical shot he absorbed when his helmet collided with Iowa junior safety Xavier Nwankpa’s with 7:27 left in the third quarter, expect to see Edwards suit up for Saturday’s regular-season finale at No. 4 Penn State (10-1, 7-1). Maryland’s 13-0 deficit at halftime could be viewed as a small victory for the defense. In the first half, Iowa amassed 200 total yards, 139 rushing yards, and 15 first downs while controlling the clock for 22:52. But the offense was forced to settle for a field goal in the red zone and got two wind-aided field goals of 54 and 50 yards from junior kicker Drew Stevens. And after Morris connected with Felton for a 12-yard touchdown with 11:05 left in regulation, the Terps trailed just 19-13 and were probably entertaining thoughts of a comeback similar to the one they accomplished in a 29-28 win against USC on Oct. 19. But on the Hawkeye’ fourth snap of their next series, redshirt freshman running back Kamari Moulton took a handoff around the left end and raced 68 yards to the end zone to help the team reclaim a two-score advantage. That pretty much ended the notion of a Maryland rally. “It was frustrating, but it was just one of those ‘Damn’ moments,” said senior outside linebacker Donnell Brown, who ranked second on the team with nine tackles, including one for loss. “We should’ve had him, but things happen. My thing is, they get a long run, cool, but now we’ve got to bounce back and keep bouncing, and I feel like we did.” After Moulton’s score, Iowa’s defense intercepted Morris twice to essentially seal the outcome, and Locksley was left contemplating how inconsistently the Terps have played this fall. “We’re within six, and that long run kind of took the wind out of our sails,” he said. “It goes back to complementary football on offense, defense and special teams.” Before the game, Maryland honored 22 seniors. That might have been the high point of the day for that group. At least for the present time, the seniors will have to wear the ignominy of the team mired in a four-game losing streak and a stretch of six setbacks in the past seven contests. That’s bound to depress anyone.

I’m not saying that won’t happen, hasn’t happened, but I can just tell you that I don’t see that with this group. These guys are fighters. They embody that fighter’s spirit, and hopefully, that’s something that they’re taking from me because I’m even more motivated to figure this out for our fanbase, for our program.” The seniors should be celebrated for their roles in helping the Terps finish above .500 in each of the previous three years and win three straight bowl games for the first time in school history. That group will be sorely needed if the team harbors any hope of upsetting the Nittany Lions and ending the season on a high note. “We’ve had a good run here, and this gives us an opportunity to hit reset, and we want to do it pretty quickly,” Locksley said. “Next week is part of that reset. So we’ll finish it the right way. One of the pillars of our program is how we finish. We want to headbutt it, and we’ll go up to State College and headbutt the finish.” Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Big Ten Network 105.7 FM Penn State by 23 1/2
