Game Thread Maryland at tOSU, Sat. Oct. 10th, 4:15 pm ET, BTN

Ohio State is a 35-Point Favorite Over Maryland​

Ohio State's second Big Ten home game isn't expected to be a close one.

The Buckeyes have opened as 37.5-point favorites over Maryland, a number that has fallen to 35.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook and 34.5 on FanDuel.

Ohio State is 4-1 on the season and also 4-1 against the spread, including 2-1 ATS at home. The only time the Buckeyes haven't covered this season was in their 42-19 win over Illinois in Week 4, a game OSU was favored by 25.5 points.

Maryland, meanwhile, is 2-3 on the season and 2-3 ATS, including 1-1 ATS on the road. The Terrapins have not covered in each of their last three games (all losses) after covering the spread in (and winning) their first two games of the season.

In Week 4, Maryland lost to UCLA, 54-3, in a game the Terrapins were only 1.5-point underdogs. The 49.5-point swing is one of the largest in history. Maryland has lost 10 straight Big Ten games after winning their conference opener over Wisconsin on Sept. 20, 2025.

The over/under opened at 54.5 points overnight, which quickly rose to 55.5 points, where it currently stands.

Just sayin': That comes out to around a 45 -10 Ohio State win......:boogie:

Game Thread tOSU at Iowa, Sat. Oct. 3rd, 3:30 pm ET, CBS

Improving but I hated those calls early in the 3rd on 3rd and 1. Don't get the first and turns the ball over on downs. Bad play calling sometimes. Smith has to quit being too cute.
Yep, I was all "3rd and 1, our nemesis" and everyone started to question me. I said, "just wait, we're probably chucking a 40 yard pass down the sideline." And that's what happened. Then on 4th and 1 I said "well, this will probably fail, too, because we can't be bothered to take the snap under center."....

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

Yeah, recognize that. See that these kids communicate online with peers and/or others that have or are considering certain colleges. And maybe what other schools are offering via NIL. And/or teambuilding with other commits. Having 'the gang' for a sleepover during an unofficial visit (the official ones get put up in nice hotels-still the Black****?). Takes a special kinda of parent to host 4-10 recruits for 2-3 days. My house wouldn't be large enough certainly, but would enjoy doing it. Truly a bonding experience with recruits from other states, positions, walks-of-life etc. That's all intended to say.

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

I think it make sense for him to come back. His physical traits are what they are, they aren't going to get better. So he obviously is going to have to depend on experience, intelligence, processing etc. I think it would help him getting as much experience as possible before he goes into the league. Look at Purdy, who is his most obvious comparison, he threw almost 1500 passes at Iowa State. I think that helped him. Not to mention, this is a pretty loaded QB class and he's not going to be one of the top guys picked, so there's a good chance he'd make more money staying another year anyway.

RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

I bet Day would tell you off the record he regrets that Tyreek Hill comparison. No reason to gas up an 18 year old freshman like that, especially one who clearly has some maturity issues to work through.
I think he expected Bey to progress faster at that time. But in reality hes still just a true frosh who had a nice play against a MAC team. Fans lost their mind and expected Reggie Bush like year for a guy who probably doesn't know all of the plays

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

Sayin will set a lot of records here too if he comes back next year, which right now seems like it's at least 50/50 he does

I don't think he's quite ready (he's getting there though), and honestly, i wonder how his arm strength is gonna effect how the league views him. He's progressing so well, just intrigued to see how much weight that's gonna carry.

Getting Sayin for another year would be HUGE with the impending loss of JJ. When's the last time we had a 3 year starter at QB? JTB?

Week 5 Game Discussion Thread

It was actually worse. Their defense had a pick 6 and another pick set them up to where they just had to drive 30 some yards. If it wasn’t for the defense, they would have scored 0.

Poor bastards. Now they play penn state. Somebody is starting 0-3 in the big ten.
I think you underestimate the shit show that Penn state has become.
