Indiana vs Maryland Game Preview

Why Indiana Will Win

Oh Maryland …

We saw this at the beginning of 2019, and it happened for a bit in the weird 2020. The team rocked out of the gate, came up with some nice wins, and then it all fell painfully apart.

Now it’s happening again.

The Terps have yet to score more than 20 points against a Power Five team since beating West Virginia 30-24 in the opener. The passing game has fallen flat, the running game hasn’t hit 100 yards in any of its last three games, and the run defense is getting progressively worse.

The biggest problem, though, is the turnover margin. The Terps were +5 over the first two games and are a -12 in the five games since with no takeaways in the last three outings.

Speaking of not scoring …

Why Maryland Will Win

To be fair, playing Penn State, Michigan State, and Ohio State over the last three games was hard, Throw in the Iowa game, too, and IU has scored a grand total of 28 points in four Big Ten games.

There’s no real running game for Maryland to worry about. There’s no real offense for Maryland to worry about.

Indiana has failed to get to 400 yards in every game but the 33-31 win over WKU, there’s no downfield passing game to go along with the lack of rushing attack, and like Maryland, there’s a turnover problem – IU has yet to win the turnover margin against an FBS team.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not like Maryland doesn’t have parts.

Taulia Tagovailoa might be past his interception problem after not giving one away against Minnesota, but he’s going to have to be the star for the Terps to pull this off.

The problem is that the Indiana defense isn’t that bad. Oh sure, it got blasted by Ohio State, but overall it held down Michigan State to 241 yards, kept Cincinnati in check, and only allowed 303 yards to Iowa.

Indiana lost to the five teams it was supposed to, beat the two teams it was supposed to, and now, even though it’s on the road, it’s going against a Maryland team it should beat. The defense will take over.

Maryland vs Minnesota Game Preview

Why Maryland Will Win

The program really, really, really needed to take a breath.

The first four games were fun. There was a decent win over West Virginia, and the win over Illinois on the road was interesting, and then came the dates with Iowa and Ohio State. 117-31 later, the Terps got a week off to rest up and recharge against a weird Minnesota team.

The offense only sort of works.

The backfield is banged up, the offense failed to get to 300 yards against Bowling Green and Purdue, and then it almost hit 400 last week against Nebraska.

The Gophers don’t really have much of a passing offense – QB Tanner Morgan picked a great time to come up with one of his best games of the year – and the Terps have too good a pass rush and a decent enough run D to get hit too hard. However …

Why Minnesota Will Win

Minnesota has become one of those teams that figures it out … sort of.

You don’t suffer one of the worst losses by any Power Five team this year – dropping a strange game to Bowling Green 14-10 – if everything is going well, but the Gophers were able to beat the Purdue team that just beat Iowa, and they were able to get by a desperate Nebraska last week.

Throw in the blowout win over Colorado, and a victory of a Miami University team that’s in the thick of the MAC race, and everything is okay despite the losses at running back, the loss to Ohio State, and whatever that was against Bowling Green.

The run defense continues to be great – it hasn’t allowed more than 136 yards since the opener against the Buckeyes – the offensive line is powering through for whatever back is healthy, and Maryland has a massive turnover problem that should help the cause.

What’s Going To Happen

Can the Terps get their groove back?

If the offense works, they have the speed and upside to set a pace the Gophers can’t keep up with.

However, the home team D is too good against the run, it’ll come up with three key takeaways, the offense will hold on to the ball for close to 40 minutes, and it’ll be another very shaky, very ugly win.

WATCH: Maryland head coach Mike Locksley after loss to Ohio State: ‘We had guys looking like they fell out of airplanes, they were so wide open’

Get a listen to a Mike Locksley quote that’s going viral after his team got embarrassed by Ohio State Saturday. #GoBucks

The Ohio State football team ran the Maryland Terrapins off the field in the ‘Shoe on Saturday. It’s true that the Terps have some key injuries, most notably in the secondary and at wide receiver, but we’re sure head coach Mike Locksley expected the next men up to put up a better fight than what he saw.

Still, Locksley took his medicine and met with the media after the game to field questions and to discuss what he saw from the game. As always, we like to follow what the opposing coach says about the Buckeyes after the game, so we have the video and audio of the Maryland head man after the 66-17 beatdown.

And, unlike most opposing coaches, Locksley had none of a desire to compliment Ohio State. He blamed the loss on his own team and at one point even made a backhanded compliment to C.J. Stroud’s performance (passed for over 400 yards) by saying that he simply hit wide-open receivers. Early on in the presser, Locksley also said that “We had guys looking like they fell out of airplanes, they were so wide open.”

Welp. OK. In case you’d like to catch the rest of the press conference, feel free to click on the below and watch the brief press conference in its entirety thanks to the Terrapin Sports Report’s YouTube Channel.

Ohio State now enters its bye-week before it gets back at it against Indiana on the road in a couple of weeks.

Five things we think we learned after Ohio State football’s whitewash of Maryland

Ohio State looked impressive again against Maryland. Here are five things we think we learned from the action Saturday.

If you thought this Ohio State football team was an improving bunch heading into the Maryland team, what it did on Saturday with a 66-17 victory over the Terps only solidified that line of thinking. The Buckeyes rolled up tons of offense, played more than adequate defense, and got a lot of guys in the game to take part in a laser light show in the ‘Shoe for homecoming.

But what can we take away from this game? Was it more about the opponent or more about how this OSU squad is starting to become the team we all that it would be to start the year?

After every game, we go back and try to review five things that stood out as takeaways from the game, and with a bushel of points, touchdowns, and yards, there’s a lot to walk away from with this one as well.

Here are five things we think we learned while watching Ohio State’s impressive win over the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday.

WATCH: C.J. Stroud connects with Chris Olave for unbelievable touchdown catch with defender draped all over

Chris Olave come down with a beautiful TD while a defender is all over him! How much will you miss Olave when he heads to the NFL? #Buckeyes

The Ohio State Buckeyes are pouring it on the Maryland Terrapins and are currently beating the Big ten foe to the tune of 49-10. The passing game has looked downright outrageous for the Buckeyes with C.J. Stroud leading the way, clearly as healthy as a horse and ready to rock and roll. But his hookup with Chris Olave in the second half was something to behold.

Let me paint the picture — it is fourth and one and Ohio State decides to go for it and instead of handing it off to their big sledgehammer in Master Teague or the freshman phenom in TreVeyon Henderson. Instead, the Buckeyes decided to go big or go home. Stroud rips it down the field 30 yards and Chris Olave somehow comes down with it in the end-zone with a defender hanging all over him, pass-interference and all.

Watch below and revel at the mastery of the wide receiver position from one, Mr. Olave:

You may not see a whole lot of this making the national news highlights because of how out of hand the game became, but this is a very underrated catch that showcases the athletic ability and eye-hand coordination from Olave.

WATCH: C.J. Stroud throws absolute dime to Garrett Wilson for touchdown

C.J. Stroud hits Wilson right in stride. Look at this throw. #GoBucks

We’re starting to have a hard time keeping up with the offensive highlights Ohio State continues to show against Maryland, but we’re doing our best. The last one came from the arm of C.J. Stroud once again, his fourth touchdown of the game against the Terrapins.

With the Buckeyes already leading 35-10, they promptly took the first possession of the second half and marched right down the field into Maryland territory. Then, on 2nd and 5 from the 26-yard line, Stroud put a ball right in the breadbasket and on stride to receiver Garrett Wilson who had got a couple of steps of separation from the Terps defender.

Honestly, the throw could not have been any more perfect. Get a look at how accurate the pass is when targeting a 1:1 Wilson over the top of the defense.

Maryland vs. Ohio State halftime review: 3 takeaways

Three Ohio State #Buckeyes half time takeaways!

The Ohio State Buckeyes are taking it to the Maryland Terrapins and are headed to the half with a 35-10 lead. The score may be a little too close for comfort for some despite a 25-point lead, but there is not a ton to nitpick based on what has been happening on the field.

After dominating the Akron Zips two weeks ago and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights last week, it looks like the new and improved Ohio State football squad is continuing that dominant momentum against the Maryland Terrapins. Now it should be noted that Maryland is not the strongest opponent, but still, the Buckeyes are on pace to really put the hammer down in the second half.

With all of this positivity, the following are three things we took away from the first half of play.

Next…These Ohio State receivers are INSANE

WATCH: C.J. Stroud hits TreVeyon Henderson for 26-yard pitch and catch

Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud threw his third touchdown pass of the first half vs. Maryland when he found running back TreVeyon Henderson.

Ohio State just keeps on rolling on offense against the Maryland Terrapins in the ‘Shoe Saturday, and the latest is yet another touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud. It’s been an offensive attack that has spread it around so far, and this time, Stroud found running back TreVeyon Henderson for a 26-yard catch and run to paydirt.

Henderson hasn’t wiggled free on the ground as we’ve seen over the last few weeks, but the coaching staff is still finding ways to get him the ball in space out on the outside in the passing game. He has four catches for 67-yards and a touchdown.

Watch as Stroud picks out the correct option by checking down to Henderson and letting him do the rest of the work, dashing to the endzone with bad intentions.

WATCH: Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka returns kickoff 67-yards vs. Maryland

Watch yet another 5-star wide receiver get an explosive play on a kickoff return. #GoBucks

Ohio State has it going against Maryland, and it’s more than just the offense. In fact, the Buckeyes just had an explosive kickoff return midway through the second quarter, and it came from former 5-star wide receiver Emeka Egbuka.

We haven’t seen OSU take too many kicks and return them with the rule change where you can fair catch it, but Egbuka decided to make something happen with this one. He received the kick at the 5-yard line, then read his blocks and weaved through the Terps special teams for a 67-yard return.

If you didn’t get to see it, watch Egbuka work his magic below to put the Ohio State offense in great field position at the Maryland 29. OSU eventually capped it off with a touchdown.
