McCord and No. 4 Ohio State can’t afford a let-down against Tagovailoa and unbeaten Maryland
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kyle McCord closed out his fourth game as Ohio State’s starting quarterback with a fearless drive that stunned Notre Dame in the final seconds and kept the Buckeyes unbeaten. “He hurt us with some plays last year.” The Terps have come close but haven’t beaten Ohio State in eight previous tries since joining the Big Ten in 2014. Ohio State’s All-American receiver injured his right ankle while blocking on TreVeyon Henderson’s 61-yard touchdown run in the second quarter of the Notre Dame game. DEFENSIVE IMPROVEMENT Maryland has allowed an average of 57 points in its eight meetings with Ohio State since joining the Big Ten – last year’s 43 was actually the lowest point total in series history by the Buckeyes.
