The top ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will take the field in Columbus as they host a Maryland team that’s in trouble. The Terrapins after starting hot have had major struggles since and it won’t get any easier on Saturday against the Buckeyes.

Last year Maryland gave Ohio State a scare in overtime as the Buckeyes narrowly defeated the Terrapins 52-51 in a game Buckeyes fans are still recovering from. That will not be even close to the case this year.

Maryland may give up that many points in the first half while not being able to find the end zone in the process to keep it respectable. Justin Fields and the Ohio State offense are simply too good and will overpower Maryland from the start.

J.K. Dobbins and Master Teague will both have nice days on the ground to add to the offensive explosion.

On the other hand the defense will feast and hold Maryland to less than 200 yards of total offense. The Buckeyes will roll comfortably.
