COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Ohio State needed 52 points and 688 yards – the most in program history against a Big Ten opponent – to beat Maryland 52-51 on Saturday.
It needed three rushing touchdowns from Dwayne Haskins and a career-high 37 rushes for a career-high 203 yards and a touchdown from J.K. Dobbins. The Buckeyes needed 36 first downs, 405 passing yards from Haskins and a fourth-down conversion to Rashod Berry.
Ohio State needed everything from its offense because it got nothing from its defense.
Maryland became the second team – after Iowa last season – to drop at least 50 points on the Buckeyes this millennium and accumulated 535 yards on an average of 8.
