Maryland football struggles with defense amid four-game losing streak

Maryland football faltered against No. 5 Ohio State, suffering a 45-16 defeat on October 17. The Terps allowed Ohio State to achieve seven explosive plays for 243 yards, four of which resulted in touchdowns. Maryland's defense continues to struggle, having permitted at least 40 points in three consecutive games. Missed tackles and poor coverage have been persistent issues, as evidenced by previous performances against UConn and Virginia Tech, where they also allowed multiple chunk plays. Head coach Mike Locksley emphasized the need for improvement in tackling and positioning moving forward.
