If anyone thought Ohio State would be distracted by Chase Young’s suspension, content with being No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings or fail to take its underdog opponent seriously when it played Maryland on Saturday, it quickly became clear that wasn’t the case.
To the contrary, the Buckeyes appeared to be as motivated as they’ve been all season to dominate their opponent, prove their ability to overcome adversity and make yet another statement that they should be considered the best team in college football this year.
Ohio State scored on each of its first six possessions in Saturday’s game while it shut Maryland out for nearly three quarters, all on the way to securing a 73-14 win – the Buckeyes’ second largest win of the season – against the Terrapins on Saturday.
