Brandon Ross and Wes Brown's conversations this August haven't been big picture talks centered on their competition for Maryland's starting running back position or their increased responsibility after the attrition at the position since the end of last season.
Instead, they've focused on the micro, asking questions about the tiny differences they see on plays, little things that could be the difference between a stuffed run and a long touchdown. And though Brown and Ross are both competing for the starting job, the duo views its competition as a chance to boost an overall Terps running game that has struggled at times.
