For Maryland football's secondary, it's all about preventing – and creating – the big play

Maryland football's 2015 lineup is riddled with uncertainty. When Richmond visits Byrd Stadium to open the season on Sept. 5, the Terrapins could plausibly start different players at quarterback, running back, tight end, receiver, linebacker, punter and on both sides of the line. On Maryland's entire roster, just two areas feel completely locked in. One is kicker, where the Terps return Lou Groza Award winner Brad Craddock. The other is the secondary, where Maryland has to find stability in an otherwise young and evolving defense.

Maryland's defensive backfield will include three three-year starters and another who's been in and out of the team's lineup for almost half a decade.
