When a young football team staggers out of the gate, the head coach usually must find a way to keep his players' spirits up.

Two days after saying he may soon play inexperienced quarterbacks to groom them for next season, Maryland Coach Ralph Friedgen softened his stance on the quarterback situation Tuesday, promising that senior starter Chris Turner will play a large role in Saturday's game at Duke.
