"YOU SAW US GO BLOW FOR BLOW WITH THE TEAM I CONSIDER ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY."– MARYLAND HEAD COACH MIKE LOCKSLEY

"You saw us go blow for blow with the team I consider one of the best in the country," he said. "When I started this week, the question I asked our team was, 'Where were we?' I saw our team take accountability for how we played the last couple of weeks. I saw a team that was disappointed. And to me, those are the types of signs that we needed to have. That's the type of mentality that we needed to have as we work to take the next step (as a program)."

Taking that next step as a program, Locksley says, will come when his players generate momentum that they can consistently feed off of during games. Against Ohio State, Locksley said the Buckeyes always had an answer for when the Terrapins started trending in the right direction.

With Ohio State always having an answer for Maryland's momentum-changing plays, Locksley said his team could learn about resiliency and toughness from Ryan Day's squad.

"When you play against the best, you can't expect them to help you. Good teams don't need help," Locksley said. "Today, anytime we created momentum, they answered. We give up a big kickoff return. We create momentum, and they block a punt – things like that. But the resiliency this team has shown all year, except for maybe a couple of games, was totally on display. That's where I'm proud of the way that we fought."

I'll have to go back through it again to give detailed thoughts, had some old friends I hadn't seen in awhile pop by our alumni game watch yesterday. For now I'll just say I'm glad to get out there with a win and remain undefeated going into The Game...losing would have made going next week wayyyy less exciting. And yeah we struggled, but Maryland should be more like 8-2 coming into this game and they seriously have some players as I was blabbing on about in this thread before the game. Plus pretty much every other top ranked team struggled as much as we did or lost, so we just need to put it into context. Onto the most hallowed week of college football, let's focus on beating the ever living hell out of *ichigan.

Just win, baby.

The late, great Al Davis said it best.

No. 2 Ohio State did just that Saturday, leaving College Park with a 43-30 win over the Maryland Terrapins to improve to 11–0. It wasn't easy – the Buckeyes trailed at the half, 13-10 and Maryland kept it close until the very end, leading to some of the more spectacular fan meltdowns one will ever see online – but in the end, it's a W.

158.9 RATING

3 SECOND HALF TOUCHDOWNS

11–0
