Linebacker Names

I figured this might be a good place to have an old question of mine answered. Whenever I look for plays and such online for college football I see a lot of the linebackers called Will, Mike and Sam. As far as I can tell, Sam is the Strong LB, Will is the Weak LB, and Mike is the MLB. Is that right, or did I completely miss something?

 
Alright, I've got another, more general question. If there isn't a strong side on the offense, i.e. they're playing a Maryland I, where does Sam play? I assume he'd play the short side of the field, but once again that's just a guess.
