Ohio State defeats Maryland 45-16 with standout performances

Ohio State secured a 45-16 victory over Maryland on October 10 at Ohio Stadium. Quarterback Julian Sayin threw for 242 yards and four touchdowns despite two key turnovers. Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith had another strong game with multiple scores, inching closer to the Big Ten career receiving touchdowns record. The Buckeyes' defense allowed just 146 total yards and helped maintain control throughout the match. Despite the win, the coaching staff faced scrutiny for execution issues, particularly related to turnovers and pass protection. Ohio State continues its season next week against a yet-to-be-determined opponent.
