Ohio State at Maryland

The Buckeyes found their defense last week, albeit against a Michigan State offense that is not exactly lighting up scoreboards this season.

The offense struggled.  I don’t want to hear about Michigan State’s defense. The stadium was half empty and the average starting field position was close to the 40-yard line.

The Spartans are good, but they’re not that good. The offense scored 16 points and that is why Ohio State remains at No. 10.

I want to see if the Buckeyes can dominate the Terps.

Brett McMurphy accused the program this week of covering up racist remarks allegedly made by Zach Smith against Trevon Grimes. It seemed to galvanize the team.

Will we see a determined and far superior team come out and act like it?

Yes.  Buckeyes win 45-13.
