Best photos of Ohio State football’s win over Maryland

Ohio State was able to outlast Maryland on Saturday. Here are some of the best photos of all of the action. #GoBucks

The Ohio State football team found itself in a tight one on Saturday and had to find a way to elbow its way to a victory against Maryland. It was much closer than the experts thought but still goes in the win column as the Buckeyes now prepare to host Michigan for one of the biggest instances of “The Game” in history.

But back to the Maryland game. It was a low-scoring affair in the first half that turned into an offensive explosion of sorts in the second half. Ohio State was able to outlast the Terrapins and survive to fight another day thanks to many plays and moments that turned a game in danger into one that kept a lot of the lofty goals within reach.

After every game, we like to bring you some of the best photos from all the action and we have another batch for you from College Park, Maryland.

Five things we think we learned from Ohio State’s close shave against Maryland

What did you take away from the Maryland game? Here are five things we think we learned after seeing all the action in College Park Saturday. #GoBucks

Are you still alive and kicking?

While we love to watch entertaining college football games, it’s not nearly as exhilarating when Ohio State is embattled in a closer-than-expected contest against a Big Ten team it probably should have handled in less dramatic fashion.

At the end of the day though, almost every top team in the country struggled in the penultimate week of the college football regular season in games that seemed to be bridges to bigger and better things. After all, Ohio State will host Michigan in the next installment of The Game this Saturday and there’s some trophy and confetti on the line. From there it could be a College Football Playoff appearance.

But back to the game against Maryland. The Buckeyes made the adjustments at halftime and started shoveling the ball to running back Dallan Hayden on the way to a come-from-behind gut-check type of victory needed to put some more scarlet and gray hair on the chest.

After every game, we try to pull out five things that we observed to take away, and luckily this one is on the smiling side of the scoreboard for us to reflect on. It’s not all rosy though because there are some things that have to be much better next week.

Here are five things we learned from Ohio State’s hand-wringing win over Maryland Saturday.

Ohio State survives scare, beats Maryland to set up massive game against Michigan

Whew. Ohio State survives, much like every other top team in the country. #GoBucks

Whew. It wasn’t easy, but Ohio State remains undefeated with a closer-than-expected 43-30 victory Saturday in College Park, Maryland.

Apparently, every one of the top teams in the College Football Playoff rankings felt like giving their fans heart attacks on Saturday. Michigan and TCU needed last-minute field goals to win, Georgia looked strained against Kentucky, and Ohio State had to outlast a Maryland team that played with nothing to lose on the road.

But that’s OK. Despite what the national media and fanbases of other teams might say, winning a championship isn’t easy, and sometimes you have to go through the mud to get the chance at playing for some pretty special things on dry land.

The Buckeyes found themselves in that precarious spot on Saturday when the offense sputtered a bit in the first half, and Terrapins quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa played hot and gave OSU everything it could handle.

Ohio State started out with a 77-yard drive to start the game to go up 7-0, and it looked like the machine was running. After that though, the Buckeye ground game ran into more issues and the passing game was off just enough to throw a wrench into the mechanics of everything. The Buckeyes went into the half down 13-10 with only 28 yards of rushing and looking for answers.

Then Dallan Hayden happened.

With running back TreVeyon Henderson hobbled and taken out of the game with a foot injury again, Hayden made the most of it. With him hitting the holes quicker and running downhill, the OSU offense started to click. The freshman running back finished the game with 27 carries for 146 yards and three touchdowns — the large majority of it in the second half. It led to Ohio State scoring 34 points after coming out of the locker room.

The big momentum changer in the second half came on the defensive end, however, when Lathan Ransome came around the end of the line and laid out for a punt block that led to one of Hayden’s scores to put OSU up early in the second half.

But it almost wasn’t enough thanks to the exploits of Tagovailoa. He finished the game 26-of-36 for 293 yards and two touchdowns, keeping plays alive and putting the team on his back throughout a wildly entertaining game. And after OSU milked the clock and kicked a field goal to go up by six points, Tagovailoa had one more shot with under a minute left, but the OSU defense came up big again.

Zach Harrison beat his man and got to Tagovailoa and forced the ball up in the air for Steele Chambers who grabbed it out of the air and took it into the endzone for the game-sealing touchdown.

With the win, we can now talk about it. Ohio State and Michigan will enter The Game both undefeated and likely both in the top three of the CFP rankings. There are a lot of things on the line and we’ll have plenty of coverage for you leading up to, during, and after the titanic clash in Columbus.

Ohio State vs. Maryland halftime review: Three things.

Ohio State vs. Maryland halftime review: Three things. #GoBucks

The Ohio State Buckeyes have looked like absolute garbage today against the Maryland Terrapins in the first half with the score currently 13-10. Ohio State has looked both bad offensively and defensively. The Buckeyes were favorites by almost four touchdowns heading into today but are now in a dogfight looking simply to get a win.

Most predicted that Ohio State may not look pretty today with Maryland being an obvious look-ahead spot before the game against Michigan, but no one expected the Buckeyes to be losing going into halftime. There are so many things that we could discuss for this halftime piece and 99% of them are negative, but here we go trying to narrow it down to just three.

Five reasons Ohio State will beat Maryland on Saturday

We give you five reasons Ohio State will beat Maryland on Saturday. #GoBucks

It’s a football Saturday in the Big Ten and Ohio State is tasked with hitting the road to take on the Maryland Terrapins. The Terps started out white hot in 2022 but have been slowed down by injuries and a taxing Big Ten season as of late.

Mike Locksley’s crew started out the season 3-0, but have dropped three of its last five and four of the last seven. The team is bowl-eligible but still struggling to find a way to make it through a physical Big Ten season annually.

The Buckeyes need to keep winning heading into the titanic clash with Michigan next week if they want to stay in prime position to make the College Football Playoff. Taking care of business for a very tricky road trip to Maryland is a must.

The oddsmakers don’t give Maryland much of a chance in this one, but with what we’ve seen this college football season, that’s not a lock. However, Ohio State is the more talented team across the board so we like its chances of coming out the other end with a still unblemished record.

Here are five reasons Ohio State will beat Maryland Saturday afternoon.

How to find the Ohio State vs. Maryland game plus some key players and injury information. #GoBucks

It’s another Saturday in the fall and that means there’s another Ohio State football game on tap this weekend. The Buckeyes hit the road this week to take on a Maryland team that started hot but has seemed to have worn down as the season goes on.

The Buckeyes can’t afford to slip up just one week prior to what could be a titanic matchup with Michigan if they want to keep all of their goals in front of them.

We know you’ve probably cleared the calendar months ago knowing that there would be an Ohio State game Saturday, but you may still be looking for how to find the game and tune in. Well, you’re in luck because we’ve got all the information you need to find the game to stream or watch, plus some key players and injury information.

Ohio State vs. Maryland Buckeyes Wire staff predictions

Here’s what our three writers think will happen with the game between Ohio State and Maryland on Saturday. #GoBucks

The Ohio State football team sits right where it wants and needs to be so far in the 2022 season, undefeated with all of its lofty goals within reach. All it has to do is beat Maryland this weekend, slay the Wolverines next weekend  and take care of whichever team from the West finds a way to string together enough wins to meet it there.

But first things first, the Terps are up this weekend, and it’s a tricky road game that cannot be overlooked. Such is the case, we like to ask our three writers what they think of every Ohio State football game just before things kick off on Saturday and we’re doing the same here.

Here is how Phil, Mark and Josh think things will play out in College Park, Maryland on Saturday and why.

Why Ohio State Will Win

CJ Stroud got back on track after the 21-7 windstorm win against Northwestern.

He got time to work, threw for almost 300 yards with five scores against Indiana, and it all came together in an easy win. There shouldn’t be problems against the Maryland defense, either, but it’s the other side of the ball that should dominate.

It was just Indiana – it’s struggling to do much of anything consistently well – but Ohio State made it six times in seven games allowing fewer than 300 yards of total offense.

The seventh-best defense in the country has enough of a pass rush to get through a struggling Maryland offensive line, the secondary should be able to keep Taulia Tagovailoa’s struggles going, and it should all tie in with a balanced day from the offense.

Maryland is getting ripped up on the ground allowing over 200 yards in each of the last three games, but …

Why Maryland Will Win

Does Ohio State have any running backs left?

Star back TreyVeon Henderson is trying to get back from a foot injury, and Miyan Williams suffered a leg injury last week against Indiana. Dallan Hayden was able to step in and run for over 100 yards, and it’s Ohio State – there are other options – but it’s still not a plus to not have the headliners.

This is a focus game. Maryland might not be playing all that well lately, but it’s bowl eligible, it’s the final home game of the year, and it can let it rip.

Meanwhile, the other side is this close from getting its shot at redemption against Michigan next week.

Maryland has the offensive weapons to be dangerous. Ohio State’s defense hasn’t faced anyone with a high-powered offense – Penn State is as close as it gets – and …

What’s Going To Happen

Ohio State will take care of business.

It can lose this and still get into the College Football Playoff with two straight wins. That’s not going to happen, though.

It might take a half to get up to speed, but after a few early Maryland scores the other side will start to settle in, the offensive line will take over, and the big pass plays Tagovailoa will connect on early will dry up.

Ohio State football vs. Maryland: Complete preview and prediction

Ohio State travels to College Park to take on the Maryland Terrapins. #GoBucks

Ohio State got back to business on Saturday and dispatched a very mediocre Indiana team with little resistance. There was some concern going into the game after the Buckeyes had trouble running the ball against lowly Northwestern.

OSU came out with a balanced attack and was able to move the ball on the ground finishing with 340 total rushing yards. Not that running on Indiana was some great feat, however, it was good to see the offense do exactly what it was supposed to do and what it should’ve been able to do in Evanston a week earlier.

Now the Bucks travel to Maryland to take on the Terrapins in College Park. The Terps are a team that can pull off an upset, so Ohio State better not get caught looking ahead.

Let’s get ready for the game before The Game!

Ohio State vs Maryland Game Preview

Why Ohio State Will Win

Ohio State is too good at both ends of the floor on the inside.

It’s second in the Big Ten in shooting percentage, it’s doing a nice job from the outside, and the defense is solid at generating blocked shots and is okay on the defensive boards.

Maryland will shoot plenty of threes, but it doesn’t make enough of them and the defense has a hard time getting out and forcing mistakes and stopping threes.

The Terps have allowed 40% shooting or better in each of the last eight games and are getting bombed on too easily at times. Ohio State wasn’t on from the outside against Iowa, but it’s been effective against everyone else over the last month.

Basically, Maryland will have a hard time keeping up, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Maryland Will Win

Maryland won’t have to worry about turnovers or mistakes, and the defense should be better than it was the first time around.

The Buckeyes hit over 50% from the field and made 11 threes, and that’s almost certainly not happening again. The Terp offense failed to get to 40% from the field, but if the attack can force its way to the free throw line it’ll have a shot.

Ohio State’s defense might be decent overall, but it doesn’t force mistakes. Maryland should be able to attack the rim, and even if it doesn’t generate points, it should get fouled enough to matter.

However …

– Top 25 Game Previews, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Ohio State is shooting too well.

Maryland needs to own the free throw line – it’s great when it gets there – but the Buckeyes have been a machine lately with 71 free throw attempts over the last three games.

Maryland needs to make lots and lots of free throws along with making 45% of its shots from the field.

Neither will happen.
