Maryland gave Ohio State a scare last season, holding the Buckeyes to 10 points in the first half before watching the game slip away. Do the Terrapins have an even stronger effort in them this year? It won't be easy in front of a raucous crowd in Columbus.
Ohio State's passing game appears to be finding a rhythm as Kyle McCord continues to develop a strong connection with stars Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka.
The Buckeyes will be well-rested after they spent their bye week recovering from a grueling win over Notre Dame, which kept their playoff hopes in great shape.
Maryland has an unbeaten record of its own, but the Terrapins haven't faced a challenge nearly as tough as this one. With an experienced roster led by QB Taulia Tagovailoa, the program's first nine-win season since 2010 is within reach. A win over Ohio State in Columbus would be the defining moment of the Mike Locksley era.
