The depth of half a luxury for Terps

  Wes Brown white halves always need a break, and with four mounds the top of the depth chart stocks, nobody should have to feel in order to bear the burden of their own.

"This is the best place you could have," Brown said. "I see no dropoff in talent everywhere."

The coach Randy Edsall listed Brown, Brandon Ross, Albert Reid and Justus Pickett as co-starters entering Saturday's game at West Virginia. So he has done to promote confidence in the internal quartet, or confuse the Mountaineers in their game plan mid-week?

"All of the above," Edsall said with a smile.

All four after Edsall, could see time in Morgantown, but the distribution is anyone's guess at this stage. Reid was the starter for the first game, but Pickett has won the majority of the race. Brown escaped twice from the temple, but bounced back to Connecticut. One thing is certain: The Terrapins not without options.

"I wish we had this kind of depth in every position," said Edsall. "We thought in our minds how we want to go in practice during the week to go with what we do, to see if something changes. We have a process in mind, entering the game as we with these guys, we'll see how it plays during the week. "

Maryland may end up in a situation where all four of something that had not happened, because play Ross injured hamstring in the off-season could be.

"We will see how it will play, but I have a lot of confidence in each one of these guys," said Edsall. "And again, to talk to them today, it's not like that maybe someone did not do, it's just a situation in terms of what we feel as a staff that we have the ability with these four guys."

West Virginia high performance air attack - Air Raid, as it is called family - is the most attention this weekend, but the Terps have to set the clock to control the defense of the Montagnards "ground loops meter to quart Geno Smith next to the field.

Brown played against the wiles of Connecticut disguise blitz-heavy and Maryland many looks unorthodox stand against William & Mary and the Temple. If anything, could the new regime of West Virginia is a familiar little better and standard.

"Yes, we need to have the ball, we score points and keep the defense off the field need," said Edsall.

"But we need to do is, if the defense on the field, not the big games against you."
