The Buckeyes have only played Maryland once in program history, and it was a dominant victory.
The University of Maryland Terrapins are Big Ten newcomers, having joined the conference in 2014. As such, the Terrapins and the Buckeyes have only met on the gridiron once in program history. On October 5, 2014, Ohio State -- then ranked 20th in the nation with a 4-1 record -- dominated Maryland in every phase of the game.
The Buckeyes hadn't exactly inspired national confidence at that point in the season, having won a relatively close one over Navy in the first week of the season, and then suffering a loss to Virginia Tech in week two.
