That was a pretty devastating drop considering the end result of the play...and it was really bad for Haskins confidence early on. Then you had the hold. Glad he made up for it later though.

RASHOD BERRY'S FOURTH-DOWN CONVERSION KEPT OHIO STATE'S GAME-WINNING DRIVE ALIVE IN OVERTIME
Maryland’s defense surely expected J.K. Dobbins to get the ball. He had career highs in both carries (37) and rushing yards (203) to go along with a touchdown. Heck, Dobbins said after the game that he wanted the ball.
But on 4th-and-1 on the first possession in overtime of Saturday’s game between Ohio State and Maryland, Dobbins didn’t get it. Instead, Ryan Day dialed up a play-action pass into the flats for Rashod Berry, who didn’t have a single catch in regulation and had just six receptions in the season.
“I was just hoping it worked,” Dobbins said after the game.
It did. With ease.
Berry motioned from the right side of the offensive line to the left, then took two steps toward linebacker Nnamdi Egbuaba at the snap of the ball, pretending he planned to run block. Instead of locking up with Egbuaba, Berry planted his right foot and headed for the flats.
He was wide open. Three steps after his break to the outside, Berry turned his head and watched as Dwayne Haskins delivered a pass, which the redshirt junior tight end reeled in before heading upfield for an 11-yard gain to not just move the chains, but extend the game.
“We called the play before we went out there,” Berry said. “I didn't know it was going to come to me. But when my number's called, I just had to make a play. Then, I just made a play.”

Ruckert is considered our best chance for a legit receiving TE but if Berry could put it all together I think his upside is even higher

I would not be surprised to see him lining up at FB/H back in under center sets this year.

MARYLAND NOTEBOOK: RASHOD BERRY PLAYS BOTH WAYS, GARRETT WILSON HAS HIS BIGGEST GAME YET AND KEANDRE JONES REUNITES WITH HIS FORMER TEAMMATES
In the ninth game of his fifth-year senior season, Rashod Berry finally got to live out a dream he has had since he was in high school: Playing both sides of the ball in an Ohio State game.
For the first time since 2016, when he was a full-time defensive lineman for the Buckeyes, Berry saw playing time on Ohio State’s defense in Saturday’s 73-14 win over Maryland. With Chase Young and Jonathon Cooper both sidelined for Saturday’s game, the Buckeyes turned to Berry to play situationally as a defensive end in a third-down pass-rushing package that utilized a three-man front.
Berry still also saw playing time at tight end, the position he has played since the start of the 2017 season, and in the process became the first Ohio State player to play on both offense and defense in the same game since Zach Boren played both fullback and linebacker for the Buckeyes in 2012.
“It feels amazing,” Berry said after Saturday’s game. “From high school, going into college, I always wanted to play both sides. So for this opportunity to open up like this, it was like, ‘Wow, this is real. I’m really about to do this.’ So it was good.”
Berry had been trying to convince Ohio State’s coaches to allow him to play on both sides of the ball since this summer, and raised the question again following the Buckeyes’ previous game against Wisconsin. He admittedly didn’t know if his efforts to persuade them would work, but he thought it was worth a try.
“There’s always a 50/50 chance. When you ask your mom, ‘Can I stay the night at my friend’s?’ You don’t know, it’s a 50/50 chance,” Berry said with a laugh.
With two starting defensive ends out this week, though, Ohio State finally decided to give Berry that opportunity.
“He's been doing some really good things, and he kind of came to us a couple weeks ago, and then based on the situation, we said, ‘Let's just put him over there,’” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said. “And so last Wednesday, he went over (to practicing on defense) and did a good job. He flashed a couple times. And so he's very talented, and moving forward, we're going to try to maybe use him in some different spots.”
In order to prepare to play both ways in Saturday’s game, Berry said he didn’t have any free time this past week, as he had to watch the film for both offense and defense. He spent time in both his regular meeting room with Kevin Wilson and the tight ends as well as Larry Johnson’s meeting room with the defensive linemen, and he had to practice the fundamentals of playing defensive end again.
Berry said it wasn’t too hard to get used to playing defensive end again, though, because he had done it before.
“I did it in high school. And when I was over there as a sophomore, I was a good pass-rusher. So I knew I could do it, I just had to prove it again,” Berry said.
Berry was not officially credited with any statistics on either side of the ball in Saturday’s game, but was in on a third-quarter sack that was credited to Zach Harrison.
