Game Thread tOSU @ Maryland, Oct 4th @ 12pm ET, ABC

[Jaxbuck]

starting QB got hurt and the backup came in and played well. I don't know the extent of the injury, though.

ahhh

that explains it

Thanks

CFB lines usually come out about 7PM on Sunday night.

Still no line for this game.

Are there any major injuries for Maryland?

OSU was unscathed right?

Maryland's missing two LBs. Not sure if they'll be ready for Saturday.

CJ Brown (starting QB) sustained a wrist injury and left the game. Edsall not revealing much about the severity.

Lines are up, and if I'm reading right, they're favoring OSU by 7.5 - 10.0pts

What are your expectations for the game?

And does Terrapin nation have a natural disdain for PSU?

Maryland has great receivers. This week against Cinci was perfect for this secondary to prepare for a pass happy team. Know what they need to fix before Sat and think they do it. Maryland scores early but think it turns into a Buckeye blowout. EZE may hit the 200yd mark in this game.

Honestly, I go back and forth about this game.

There's a part of me that thinks were going to get destroyed (FSU 2013) and then the other part says "Screw that, we're winning this thing".

So basically, I have no clue.

Obviously, OSU had an overall talent advantage but I think there are areas MD can exploit.


And as for how Terrapin Nation feels about PSU? Disdain isn't the word I'd use. Loathing,disgust, outright hatred....particularly among other older Terps fans.

They've known what to fix for three years. I'm not holding out hope that this week is the break through.

Tickets arrived today. I'm in the Ohio State section. 303. It will be nice to sleep in my own bed after a Buckeye game for the second time this season.

If their starter is ok 45-31 if not 45-17

As crazy as it sounds, if I was OSU I'd be more concerned about the backup QB (Caleb Rowe).

Much better passer with a canon.

Ohio State continues to believe in the "Press Coverage" statement. It didn't quite work that way against Cincy but Coach Ashe believes that there are areas of the secondary that are "Fixable" I sure hope so, if we are to be labeled as contenders in the BIG east.

If that was press coverage Ash needs to get a different definition. The only guy I saw play any press at all was Doran Grant and he looked good doing it a couple of times. Most of the time it was still 5-8 off the ball and then backpedal. Not much has changed in my opinion except the tackling.

Haven't watched the replay yet, but if this is true, that's a big change from VT, where the DBs were 1-3 yds off the line on most plays and all five guys checked their men about 5 yds upfield.

I believe Urban had Ash pull back the press a bit to protect their lead as the game went on vs Cincy.

Is it true Edgar's Billiards is closed?
