Five reasons Ohio State will beat Maryland

Is Maryland a paper tiger, or will the Terps provide a stiff challenge for Ohio State on Saturday? #GoBucks

It seemed like the game on the road against Notre Dame was one of the biggest mile markers of the 2023 season, and that’s as true as the day is long. But when you are trying to pull off a pretty special season, each week seems to take on even more significance.

In the case of the Ohio State football team, it’s trying to end the year with some confetti and trophies, and it just so happens that Week 6 presents another challenge, this time against a Maryland team that has raced out to a 5-0 season and looks intent on being a player in the Big Ten East.

And while it wasn’t necessarily a game OSU fans circled on the calendar at the beginning of the year, it could prove to be a pretty stiff test nonetheless, especially with quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa to try and contain.

We still like the Buckeyes chances, and so does Vegas, so we’re giving you five reasons Ohio State will pull out the victory on Saturday.
