Ohio State versus Maryland score, takeaways: No. 10 Buckeyes escape wild fight with extra minutes win
No. 10 Ohio State is as yet alive in the Big Ten title race, and for a College Football Playoff billet. Scarcely.
The Buckeyes defeated a considerable measure of similar inconveniences we've seen them have on occasion all season to beat Maryland 52-51 in extra minutes Saturday. The Buckeyes defeated three turnovers and various enormous plays permitted on resistance to score an amusement tying touchdown in the last moment. When extra minutes started, the Buckeyes struck first in the wake of making it work on a fourth-and-1 call as opposed to agreeing to the field objective. Dwayne Haskins scored from two yards out - his 6th touchdown of the day - to give the Buckeyes the lead.
Maryland promptly reacted with a major keep running from Anthony McFarland, one of a couple on the day for him. McFarland got 24 yards on Maryland's first snap to set up a diversion tying touchdown. The Terps at that point went for two, yet Tyler Pigrome's divert was from the stamp and Ohio State clutched win.
The win puts Ohio State at 10-1 on the season with a noteworthy confrontation against No. 4 Michigan approaching one week from now. The misfortune drops Maryland to 5-6 and requiring a win at Penn State one week from now to achieve a bowl diversion after a turbulent season.
Here are three key takeaways from this wild amusement in College Park.
1. Ohio State isn't a first class group: This isn't some significant disclosure. It's not as though I understood as I was watching this diversion that the Buckeyes are a defective gathering. Anyone who has watched this group this year realized that. The signs were there in the opener against Oregon State when the Ohio State safeguard permitted various huge plays to the Beavers. It was an instance of history repeating itself against Maryland on Saturday.
It was just the second play of the amusement when McFarland took off for a 81-yard touchdown run that appeared to be much too simple. After five minutes, McFarland was grinding away once more, breaking free for a 75-yard score that gave Maryland a 14-3 lead. When the day was finished, the Ohio State guard had permitted five plays of 40 yards or more noteworthy. Ohio State came into the amusement having permitted 16 such plays on the season, so now the aggregate sits at 21.
The Ohio State barrier had permitted 20 plays of 40 yards or more noteworthy over the three-year length somewhere in the range of 2015 and 2017.
Toward the day's end, you are what your record says you are, and a 10-1 record says the Buckeyes are tip top. Be that as it may, the individuals who have watched know better.
2. All that stated, Ohio State can at present win the Big Ten: That 10-1 record incorporates a sign of 7-1 in the Big Ten, which implies the Buckeyes are still responsible for their own Big Ten predetermination. The Buckeyes confront Michigan at home one weekend from now. They have not lost to their most-detested opponents since 2011 when Luke Fickell filled in as interval mentor the prior year Urban Meyer assumed control. They have not lost to Michigan in Columbus since the 2000 season.
Taking into account how they've played for the current year, it's difficult to envision Ohio State beating Michigan at the present time, yet none of that stuff will matter come Saturday evening. In the event that the Buckeyes beat Michigan, they will play Northwestern for the Big Ten title. Win that amusement, and abruptly they're in thought for a CFP billet.
The chances of these things happening aren't great, however they're as yet conceivable, hard as it might be to accept.
3. Anthony McFarland will be a star: If the name is commonplace to you, this is on the grounds that he's the child of Monday Night Football expert and previous LSU cautious lineman Anthony "Booger" McFarland. On the off chance that the name isn't natural to you, it will be soon enough. McFarland scrambled for 298 yards and two touchdowns against Ohio State on Saturday. That brings his yardage add up to on the season to 1,022 yards. The redshirt green bean was a four-star enroll who wound up filling in as a reinforcement in the Maryland backfield for a large portion of the season, however damage to Ty Johnson a week ago opened the entryway for him Saturday, and he went through it rapidly.
We don't realize who Maryland's mentor will be next season as Matt Canada still has the between time label connected to his name, yet whoever it is won't need to stress over the running back position.
