Maryland RBs Aim for Big Ten Domination | Maryland Terrapins Football News

DeJuan Williams is chasing 1,000 rushing yards this season while also aiming to be a dual-threat weapon—after setting a school record last year with 426 receiving yards and 45 catches. With Maryland’s run game ranked dead last in the Big Ten last fall, new OC Clint Trickett, a proven rushing architect from Marshall and Jacksonville State, is pushing for a major turnaround. Though Williams led the team in rushing last year with 501 yards, no clear starter has emerged as sophomores and newcomers battle for carries. Coach Locksley believes three backs can start and all have improved, emphasizing accountability and efficiency after contact. The entire backfield feels the pressure to dominate the Big Ten and finally deliver on the ground. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
