Ohio State-Maryland game time, details

Ohio State leads the all-time series, 7-0. The Buckeyes have scored at least 49 points against Maryland in each of the teams’ meetings, going over the 60-point mark four times. Under Day, Ohio State has topped the Terrapins, 73-14, in 2019 and, 66-17, in 2021. But Day was the offensive coordinator and play-caller for the 2018 showdown that saw Maryland nearly upset the Buckeyes in College Park. Ohio State, then No. 10, survived a 52-51 overtime thriller, thanks to a failed two-point conversion by the Terps. The late Dwayne Haskins accounted for six total touchdowns (three passing, three rushing) in the win, and Maryland running back Anthony McFarland Jr. racked up 298 yards on the ground.
