Ohio State is on a roll.
The Buckeyes earned their third straight blowout win on Saturday as the Ohio State offense scored on each of its first five possessions, C.J. Stroud threw for nearly 300 yards before halftime and the home team pulled away from Maryland, 59-17, to complete the first half of the regular season with a 5-1 record.
Ohio State nearly gave up a touchdown on its opening defensive series when it left Darryl Jones wide open for what would have been a 40-yard touchdown, but Maryland ended up settling for a 48-yard Joseph Petrino field goal after Tagovailoa missed Jones and Javontae Jean-Baptiste (who was called for roughing the passer on the play where Jones got wide open) combined with Haskell Garrett for a 3rd-and-3 sack.
