Don't expect a repeat of last year's close call. Maryland's lines are too banged up and overmatched to handle Ohio State's. Unless the Buckeyes have an unexpected letdown, this should not be close.

Look out for a slow start from Ohio State, which could be rusty after its second off-week in a month. But the Buckeyes are too prolific on offense and tough on defense for them not to ultimately cruise, emptying the bench by the fourth quarter.

Buckeyes pick up where they left off before sitting idle last week, scoring the same number of points against the Terrapins as a year ago, but allowing 44 fewer. That's what you call making a successful course correction.
