The Ohio State football team got quite a scare last season against Maryland on the road. The game was 33-30 deep into the fourth quarter with the outcome in the balance. A Noah Ruggles field goal followed by a Zach Harrison strip sack, recovered for a touchdown by Steele Chambers sealed the game, but the Maryland program earned a ton of respect.
In reality, the Maryland program has been garnering more respect under head coach Mike Locksley, who is the perfect man for the Terrapins job. The D.C. area native has been serving as head coach since 2019 and has compiled a 21-28 record while there.
