dismal the Terps have been on the ground.
It doesn't help that the line starts a former
walk-on at left tackle in redshirt sopho-
more Michael Dunn, and that Brown has
been inconsistent through the air.
"Last year, I thought he threw the ball
fairly well," Greene explained. "This year,
I'm not sure if it's some of the hits he has
taken, but he has not looked like the same
quarterback through the air to me. He has
really struggled throwing."
Without Diggs last week against Mich-
igan State, Brown's wideouts dropped six
passes, including a possible touchdown
reception and an easy first-down catch.
Fifth-year senior Deon Long was an 800-
yard receiver as a redshirt freshman at
New Mexico, but has never reached that
form at Maryland — he has 1,389 receiv-
ing yards and three touchdowns over the
past three seasons.
"Maryland's reputation coming into the
season was that they had these great wide
receivers with Diggs and Long, but some
of the guys that had to step up, have not,"
Greene said.
"The one thing I'll say is this — Stefon
Diggs is an absolute warrior. If he's able
to go — even if he's at just 10 percent
— he's going to go out there and give it
100 percent. He has really made things go
with the offense this year, even though the
team is struggling right now."
Edsall would not reveal if Diggs even
practiced on Tuesday during his appear-
ance on the Big Ten coaches' teleconfer-
ence.
"We'll make a determination on Stefon
at the end of the week," he said. "We'll see
how this week goes." ❑
Maryland head coach Randy Edsall, who previously led the UConn Huskies from 1999-2010,
has gone 19-28 in four seasons in charge of the Terps.
