Maryland football's depleted linebacker unit had a tough time in 2015

It's rare for a team to go through a season without the injury bug hitting one unit hard. In 2012, it hit Maryland's quarterbacks. In 2015, it hit the team's linebackers. Abner Logan and Jefferson Ashiru, both of whom entered the season as projected starters, went down in 2015, forcing the Terps into a tough situation.

What we expected to happen

We didn't separate the linebackers and defensive tackles in our season preview, but we expected Maryland to stifle the run a little better than it did in 2014 due to its shift to a 4-3 alignment.
