Here are three keys for Ohio State to remain unbeaten as it visits Maryland on Saturday.
on Saturday. Four of its first six drives resulted in touchdowns as it built an early 28-7 lead over the Hoosiers. If the Buckeyes start sluggish this week, Maryland is capable of taking advantage. The Terrapins get going fast. Half of their opening drives this season have ended in the end zone, and they rank fourth in the Big Ten in first-quarter scoring. Jumping on them early could deal a setback.
The vulnerability for Maryland’s offense is up front. Its offensive line has allowed 29 sacks, the third-most in the Big Ten, and has been especially porous in recent weeks. Over consecutive losses to Penn State and Wisconsin, the Terrapins surrendered a combined 12 sacks and left Taulia Tagovailoa battered. The conditions are ripe for the Buckeyes’ surging defense to also put Tagovailoa under frequent duress and keep a capable passing offense in check.
