Maryland football unable to pull off shocker in 43-30 loss to No. 2 Ohio State

After seemingly no one in America gave it a chance Saturday, Maryland football found itself in a fourth-quarter battle with No. 2 Ohio State.

Both sides of the ball came up large for Maryland in the fourth quarter, but Ohio State was the team that had a chance to ice the game. Trailing 33-30 with about six minutes to play, Maryland punted it away to give Ohio State the ball at its own 12-yard line.

The Buckeyes drove across midfield, and Maryland answered with two run stops — and two ensuing timeouts — to force a third-and-7 with three minutes left for all the marbles.
