Through the first month of the season, Ohio State lined up against an undefeated team to begin all four of their first games.
After Maryland defeated Indiana on Saturday afternoon by a final score of 44-17, the Terrapins have secured a fifth straight meeting with a side yet to lose for Ohio State this season.
As a result, next weekend will serve as the first time since 1940 — nearly 84 seasons ago — that the Buckeyes have opened their regular season against five consecutive undefeated opponents. The last time such a sequence happened at Ohio State, head coach Francis Schmidt managed to earn half of the wins that Ryan Day has already secured over their comparable stretches.
