Maryland at tOSU, Oct 9th, Noon ET on FOX

I echo what DBB said about ramp entrance. I think you've got it pretty well covered other than that. It's what I did with my kids (son mostly) and they are lifers.

As he gets older, I recommend showing him the spot on the field where famous plays occurred. Also, do what you can to get him to every home edition of The Game. I've been taking my son since he was 8 and that is our tradition now, he's seen 2012-2018 in person and those are some of our most treasured times together. I don't think about the money or inconvenience of going sometimes. I wouldn't trade those 4 games for the world.
Why didn’t you take him to The Game last year?

By percentages:


Does Mr. Williams get his 5th sack this season? — 75%
Does Treveyon gain at least 150 yds and get 2 more TDs? — 50.1%
Does Stroud throw for at least 300 yds and 3 TDs? — 99%
Does Ohio State get over 500 yds of Offense? — 99.9%
Does the Defense keep Maryland to under 17 pts? — 16.7%
Does Treveyon or Stroud win the BIG Freshman of the week award? — Something about ursine creatures defecating in the presence of dense foliage dominated by trees

I love seeing people pass on the love for the Bucks from generation to generation. My Grandfather and Dad took me to my first game when I was 10. My Dad ( RIP) and I took my son to his first game when he was 10. My son and I took my oldest grandson to his first game when he was 10. My youngest grandson turned 10 last year, but because of the screwed up season ( Thanks Kevin Warren you wankmaggot) We couldn't continue the tradition. We WILL however make up for it by taking him to the PSU game this year. I love me some Buckeye tradition!

I'll play:

Does Mr. Williams get his 5th sack this season? Yes
Does Treveyon gain at least 150 yds and get 2 more TDs? No, because he'll be pulled by halftime (like last game)
Does Stroud throw for at least 300 yds and 3 TDs? Yes
Does Ohio State get over 500 yds of Offense? Yes
Does the Defense keep Maryland to under 17 pts? No, but will keep them at 24 or less
Does Treveyon or Stroud win the BIG Freshman of the week award? Stroud will (again because Treveyon will play only the first half)

Maryland Offensive Player to Watch: Quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa

Tagovailoa has looked both outstanding and overwhelmed at different points during the 2021 season

1344857242.0.jpg


The Buckeyes are back home this week and facing a very different opponent than the Rutgers team that they took down 52-13 last Saturday in New Jersey. The Maryland Terrapins are coming to Columbus likely lacking in confidence, but with a team that is well-positioned to finish the regular season with a winning record for the first time since 2014 — and potentially earn their first bowl victory since 2010. They were boat-raced by a top-five team in Iowa, but got out of the gates quickly by starting 4-0. How they respond against the Buckeyes will speak volumes about the outlook for the rest of their season.

Prior to the Iowa game, Maryland was averaging 37.2 points per game and only giving up 14.2. The Hawkeyes proceeded to torch the Terrapins, so now the question becomes, was September all smoke and mirrors for Mike Locksley’s bunch — or is this team the real deal, looking to bounce back from a terrible game? I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle…

We’ll get to the defense later in the week, but I am less inclined to believe in their season-long success. Yes, they finished the first month of the season as a top-10 scoring defense, but they were outside the top-40 in total yards and benefitted from opponents coughing up two turnovers per game. Maryland’s September schedule consisted of West Virginia, Howard, Illinois, and Kent State — none of which posed a great threat on offense.

West Virginia is averaging 21 points per game against FBS opponents, Howard is an FCS team, and Illinois and Kent State both finished September outside the top-100 in points scored per game. The Terps’ defense certainly did not look impenetrable against Iowa, so I anticipate the Buckeyes being able to move the ball on Saturday.

Maryland’s offense is what should keep them in a lot of games this year. I say “should” because the Iowa game may have broken their quarterback and erased all of the confidence that he and the team had built up during the first month of the season. It was ugly. But I think Iowa is going to make plenty of teams look ugly this year. The Hawkeyes have one of the best defenses in the country, so I don’t want to be a prisoner of the moment when evaluating Maryland.

As long as the Buckeyes take care of business in the loaded East division, and continue their (to me astonishing) defensive improvements we should see a real-life test of ours vs Iowa in the B1G championship game.
Holy shit! How ya doing, Keith? Unless I've missed it, you've been MIA for several years now. Good to see you back! Post any memorials to recently deceased grandmothers lately? (Remember that?, lol)
