They’re not the “Legion of Boom” or “The Wolfpack” or anything catchy like that. But among the cornerbacks for the Maryland football team, there is a term they use to refer to one another.
“Dirty just means playing with some grit,” Bennett said. “Just playing hard and playing with a lot of effort. We’re all we’ve got. So we’ve got to stick together and do what we do. … We just have to play with that savage mentality. Just go out there and be a dog.”
The term has been embodied by a position group that might not be headlined by a star, but is developing into one of the more menacing units in the Big Ten.
