Ohio State 52, Maryland 7

You can break this game down any way you want to, Maryland just doesn’t stack up. Junior transfer quarterback Josh Jackson has not adjusted well with his new team as he was only 9-of-20 for 97 yards throwing last week against Michigan.

He has been a bit banged up this year but he’s still only connecting on 49 percent of his passes. That is not going to get it done against this Ohio State secondary that is loaded with NFL talent.

With the way Silver Bullets have performed this season don’t expect the Terrapins to put up a ton of points.

The Terrapins defense comes in giving up over 410 yards per game. The Buckeye offense should easily be able to move up and down the field on them.

Next. Predictions for Buckeyes' last 4 games. dark

I expect to see Ohio State play very vanilla on both sides of the ball, not wanting to show anything for later in the season. Talent wins out here in a big way as the Buckeyes cover the spread. Ohio State 52, Maryland 7.
