Ryan Day expects most — but not all — starters to return for Indiana
We know that your life is busy, but that doesn’t mean you want to miss any news about your favorite team. So, we are rounding up all of the most important news, analysis, and commentary from LGHL and the rest of the Buckeye beat. On the gridiron Ryan Day Expects Most of Six Starters Who […]
The numbers reveal an Ohio State running game that’s better than it looks
There are few things more beautiful in the history of college football than an Ohio State running back in the open field. From Les Horvath and Hopalong Cassady to Archie Griffin and Keith Byars to Eddie George, Ezekiel Elliott, J.K. Dobbins, and TreVeyon Henderson, Buckeye fans have been spoiled by decades of running backs capable […]
Ohio State gained ground with several recruits following Maryland win
Ohio State is now 5-1 following Saturday’s win over Maryland. The Buckeyes earned another impressive victory with their 45-16 win against the Terrapins for their annual homecoming game. With it being the homecoming game, Ohio Stadium was packed to the brim with Buckeye Faithful and alumni, creating an impressive atmosphere for all in attendance to […]
You’re Nuts: What was the most important thing we learned from the Maryland game?
Every time the Buckeyes take the field, it is an opportunity for us as fans — and, I guess, more importantly for the coaches — to learn something new about the team. Well, now that the first half of the season is in the books, OSU is heading into an insanely challenging back half in […]
Ohio State’s secondary vs. Maryland’s receivers decided the game
On paper, Maryland’s best chance at keeping this one close was through the air. The Terrapins entered the weekend averaging 277.2 passing yards per game, 28th in the country. They also had Chris Durr Jr., who ranked second nationally with 8.4 catches per game, behind only Jeremiah Smith. Durr had at least six catches in […]
Grumpy Old Buckeye: Nitpicking Ohio State’s 45-16 win over Maryland
Ohio State took care of business in its 45-16 win over Maryland, and although it wasn’t always the cleanest performance, it was another positive step for a team that is still growing together and a chance to rest some guys who have picked up knocks in recent weeks ahead of a Top 10 showdown at […]
By the Numbers: Key numbers that stand out from Ohio State’s 45-16 win over Maryland
Ohio State’s win over Maryland was weird — or rather, the game was. It rained throughout, Julian Sayin didn’t look completely sharp, the Terrapins were kind of in it even though the stat sheet didn’t show it, and Jeremiah Smith was held to under 150 receiving yards for the second time this season. Let’s look […]

Here is our report card for some positives and negatives from the contest. A: Containing Maryland’s playmakers Maryland […]

Off-Script Ohio: Maryland recap, Sayin’s struggles and a wild weekend in college football
Ohio State moved to 5-1 and 3-0 in Big Ten play with a 45-16 homecoming win over Maryland, but it wasn’t always pretty. The Terrapins pulled within 14-10 in the second quarter, and for a few minutes in the rain at Ohio Stadium, this one felt closer than it should have. Then Maryland’s secondary simply […]
Ohio State trending to flip a 2027 LB after big recruiting weekend
Ohio State did a great job of winning both on and off the field on Saturday. The Buckeyes beat up on Maryland 45-16 behind a strong defensive effort and big plays from Jeremiah Smith and Bo Jackson, and all the while the coaching staff was playing host to a plethora of big time recruits. One […]
What to like about Ohio State’s win over Maryland
Ohio State didn’t play anywhere near their potential in Saturday’s 45-16 win over Maryland. Even though there was a lot that ruffled the feathers of Buckeye Nation, there also was some positives to come from the victory over the Terrapins. While the mistakes will obviously be scrutinized by Ryan Day and his coaching staff this […]
All the news, analysis from Ohio State’s 45-16 win over Maryland
Look, we get it. Your days are busy, and you don’t have time to read all of the stories and tweets from the three dozen websites dedicated to covering Ohio State athletics, or the 237 Buckeye beat writers churning out hot takes and #content on a daily basis. But that’s ok; that’s what your friends […]
Revisit Ohio State’s best plays in their 45-16 win over Maryland
You wouldn’t know it to look at the commanding 45-16 final score, but Ohio State’s homecoming win over Maryland was sloppy at best. While many of the reps went to guys a little deeper in the depth chart than usual as Ryan Day tried to rest starters where he could ahead of Indiana next week, […]
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Ohio State’s 45-16 win vs. Maryland
Ohio State took a bit to get going on Saturday, but eventually ran away — quite literally — with a 45-16 win over Maryland in Week 6. The Buckeyes’ ground game was the star of the show, as Bo Jackson and Ja’Kobi Jackson led the way with a 200-yard rushing performance. Jeremiah Smith still managed […]
Ohio State’s sloppy 45-16 win over Maryland might be exactly what they needed before Indiana
Before the game on Saturday, I wrote about my desires for the Buckeyes to open things up against an overmatched Maryland Terrapin team. Head coach Ryan Day did accommodate my requests by sitting every starter with anything worse than a hangnail and therefore allowing Buckeyes normally deeper down the depth chart to get meaningful reps […]
Ohio State vs. Maryland game chat: Live updates from Week 6
The No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes will wrap up the first half of their regular season this afternoon when the Maryland Terrapins come to Columbus. The Scarlet and Gray are 9-0 all-time against the team from College Park Throughout the course of the game, we will be here in Gamethread below talking about how the […]
Before the nerves of next week, Ohio State should get a little weird against Maryland
I admit that this article might make me a bit of a hypocrite, but I’m willing to accept that in order to advocate for the kicks and giggles. Before the season started, I wrote about how I was excited to be nervous watching Ohio State football games this fall. I wanted games that required emotional […]
Shirt of the Week: ‘Jeremiah Smith: Triple Crown’
I am running out of ways to describe the heretofore unseen dominance of Jeremiah Smith. The junior wide receiver hasn’t even played two and a half seasons of college football, and yet he already sits atop the three major Ohio State career receiving categories. He could also legitimately break two major Big Ten marks this […]
Land-Grant’s experts make Ohio State-Maryland predictions

So, throughout the season, members of our staff will be making predictions about that day’s game. They will go on the record with what they think the final score will be, who the game’s MVP […]
OHIO STATE GAMEDAY: It’s a bad day to be a Maryland Terrapin
Wake up, everyone. It’s Ohio State game day! The Buckeyes will host the Maryland Terrapins in their only home game during the month of October. Mike Locksley’s group will function as the only unranked opponent Ohio State will face for quite some time, as Ryan Day’s squad is coming off a victory over a ranked […]

Streaming expert on the best ways to watch No. 5 Ohio State vs. Maryland for free
If you are the type of cord-cutter and TV viewer who cancels your streaming subscriptions after the football season is over and waits to sign back up until games are back on the air, a lot can change in between seasons. It can be incredibly confusing to find the best way to watch a game […]
Jeremiah Smith has run out of Ohio State records to break; the Big Ten record book is next
It took Jeremiah Smith less than three full seasons to rewrite Ohio State’s receiving record book. He passed Michael Jenkins for the program’s career receiving yards record against Kent State. Two weeks later at Iowa, he broke the career marks for receptions and receiving touchdowns on the same afternoon. Through 34 games, he has 207 […]
3 & Out: What to watch for when Ohio State hosts Maryland
First Down Players to watch for Maryland 1) Chris Durr Jr. So far in 2026 the Wyoming wide receiver has been the best wide receiver in the Big Ten not named Jeremiah Smith. Durr was the first receiver in the Big Ten with multiple games with at least 10 receptions. Entering this week’s game Durr […]
