Twitter reacts to Lathan Ransom’s blocked punt to set up Ohio State TD

Lathan Ransom swings momentum in favor of the Buckeyes with a blocked punt against Maryland. #GoBucks

After taking the opening drive down the field for a score, Ohio State has looked somewhat out of sync. Maybe we spoke too soon earlier and the Buckeyes are looking ahead to the showdown with Michigan.

OSU came out in the second half with a little more fire. After getting a stop on third and long, Maryland lined up to punt the ball away. Only before the Terrapin punter could get the kick away, Lathan Ransom snuck around the edge for the block. The Buckeyes recovered to set up a Dallan Hayden touchdown.

Check out the play below and see how Twitter reacted to the momentum-changing play.

If anyone thought Ohio State might be looking ahead to “The Game” next week, they can put that notion to bed — at least on the first possession against Maryland. The Buckeyes took the opening drive and marched down the field for a TreVeyon Henderson touchdown.

Henderson has been hampered with injuries the past few weeks but says he had a good week of practice and felt good. Well, he certainly looked good as C.J. Stroud found his running back in the flats, and then Henderson did the rest, weaving and cutting his way to the endzone.

Take a look at the scoring strike and then see how social media reacted to seeing Ohio State’s starting running back looking healthy once again.

 

How to watch, stream, listen to Ohio State vs. Maryland

Everything you need to know to listen and watch Ohio State football take on the Maryland Terrapins this Saturday.

Ohio State is finally looking like a team that we expected to see at the beginning of the season. I know, I know. Tulane, Akron, and Rutgers are hardly a suitable measuring stick for a team with national championship aspirations, but at least the Buckeyes did exactly what they were supposed to do in the last two weeks.

While we still may not know if the defense has totally fixed its woes, one thing we know for sure is this offense is elite. C.J. Stroud looked like a different quarterback after resting a sore shoulder against Akron. TreVeyon Henderson has been even better than advertised. And Ohio State still has the best receiving unit in the country. The Bucks can score with anyone.

Now Maryland comes to town who just got torched to the tune of 51 points against an Iowa team that won’t be confused with an offensive juggernaut. Yes, the Hawkeye defense set the table with seven turnovers, but if Iowa can put up 51 there’s no telling how much the Buckeye offense might light up the scoreboard.

Ohio State vs. Maryland football preview and prediction

Ohio State looks to continue its dominating ways as Maryland prepares to come to town. We’ve got a complete preview and prediction to get you ready.

It took until week five, but Ohio State finally looked like the well-rounded team that we all thought it was going to be. The Buckeyes did look good against Akron, but let’s be honest, it was Akron.

Beating up on Rutgers might not feel all that energizing, but the Scarlet Knights are a much-improved team. Just ask Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan fan base. After the Wolverines squeaked by Greg Schiano’s bunch a week earlier, you would’ve thought Rutgers was the second coming of the Crimson Tide.

I think Buckeye Nation understands that a win over the Scarlet Knights shouldn’t be confused as a program-defining win. However, fans should be encouraged simply because the Bucks did exactly what they were supposed to do, dominate an inferior opponent.

Maryland comes to town next as Ohio State will face another stiff challenge from a much improved Terrapin football team  — aside from the turnover-laden game last week against Iowa.

Ohio State vs. Maryland 2020 Football Preview And Prediction

Ohio State travels to Maryland this week to take on a team that’s getting its act together. Here’s your preview and prediction for the game.

We’re three games into the 2020 season and Ohio State has taken care of business thus far as they trek towards the toughest leg of their schedule. After taking care of Rutgers and trick plays galore, the Buckeyes are now on to face upstart Maryland.

Seriously, did anyone look at the schedule at the beginning of the season and see this stretch as the part that could make or break the Buckeyes season? If you said yes… I don’t believe you. But it is looking more and more likely to be the case.

Michigan has looked just awful after a season-opening victory over Minnesota. And Penn State? Not much better.

So, here we go with week four of Big Ten play and Ohio State takes on the second-place team in the Big Ten East… the Maryland Terrapins. What an odd time 2020 is.

Ohio State vs. Maryland game time announced

The Big Ten has announced the kick-off time for Ohio State vs. Maryland on November 14.

[jwplayer qftDXXuy-er0jUifI]

Ohio State will take on Rutgers this Saturday and the Buckeyes are firmly focused on the Scarlet Knights. However, that doesn’t mean you, the fans, can’t get your schedules set for the coming weeks.

Earlier this week, the Big Ten announced that the Ohio State game against Maryland on November, 14 will kick-off at 3:30 pm Eastern. The game will be aired on The Big Ten Network.

Maryland has been a perennial doormat since joining the Big Ten in 2014. However, there is reason for hope in College Park after seeing Taulia Tagovaiola throw for 394 yards and three touchdowns in an overtime win against Minnesota this past week.

The last time Ohio State traveled to Maryland, the Buckeyes won in a shootout by a score of 52-51. But this is a very different Ohio State football team, so go ahead and mark your calendars for a mid-afternoon tilt as the Bucks march toward a Big Ten title and much, much more.
