Maryland football refuses to cast blame for ineffective run game

Maryland football is looking to revitalize its sputtering ground game as starting running back DeJuan Williams prepares to return to practice on Wednesday. The team's rushing attack has struggled significantly since Williams exited the season-opening victory against Hampton due to a knee issue, culminating in a heavy 54-3 defeat to UCLA where the offense mustered only 39 yards on the ground.

Head coach Michael Locksley and quarterback Malik Washington hope that getting healthy bodies back on the field will restore offensive balance and relieve the pressure on the passing game. Meanwhile, the Terps prepare for an upcoming matchup against Nebraska as they look to overcome recent struggles that also included setbacks against Virginia Tech.
