Both the Maryland Terps and the Ohio State Buckeyes are undefeated football teams in the Big 10. Lucky for us, they play each other in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday. The Buckeyes are coming off a bye week which followed their impressive road win against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a battle of ranked teams. Meanwhile, the Maryland Terps have put up impressive offensive and defensive stats on their way to a perfect 5-0 start. The question remains- Are the Terps in the same league as the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Michigan Wolverines and the Penn State Nittany Lions? Their record says, “yes.” But their schedule says, “hold on a moment!”
The Maryland Terps earned their wins against Towson, Charlotte, Virginia, the Michigan State Spartans , and the Indiana Hoosiers.
But wait! The Penn State Nittany Lions have played West Virginia, Delaware, and the Northwestern Wildcats. The Michigan Wolverines have played East Carolina, UNLV, and Bowling Green! Other than the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Ohio State has played the Indiana Hoosiers, Youngstown State, and Western Kentucky! Those were easy wins, right? What gives?
For one thing, the Big 3 are all ranked and despite Maryland’s perfect record, the Terps are unranked. Vegas also has the Terps as a 19 point underdog Saturday. This means a lot of people don’t believe the Maryland Terps are for real.
That’s why coach Mike Locksley and quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa circled Saturday on their calendar a long time ago. Locksley has been at Maryland long enough to establish his program with his recruits. Saturday is their turn to show where this program is. Either the Maryland Terps will show they belong or coach Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes will turn the Big 10 into a three team race.
