Football: No. 10 Ohio State faces toughest pass defense yet in Maryland
This past week, Ohio State was focused on the No. 1 rush defense in the country in Michigan State.
In their 26-6 victory, the Buckeyes ran for 120 yards, 104 of which came from redshirt junior running back Mike Weber and with 116 coming in the second half.
This week, No. 10 Ohio State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) turns its focus to the No. 18 pass defense in the country. Maryland has the best pass defense the Buckeyes has faced this season before coming home next week against the top-ranked Michigan pass defense.
“I see a defense. I think they’re a top-30 defense in America. They do a good job. They’ve got a really good front. They have a back end that they could play most places in the country,” offensive coordinator Ryan Day said. “They’ve done a really good job there, very, very talented, one of the more talented defenses we’ve seen, to be honest with you. I really think that they’ve done a nice job this year.”
The Terrapins (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) are the No. 30 defense in the NCAA, allowing 343.2 yards per game. The No. 18 pass defense gives up 181.8 yards per game and has 17 interceptions on the season, the most of any team in the country.
Senior linebacker Tre Watson leads Maryland with 98 tackles and five interceptions. His 9.8 tackles per game is tied for No. 27 in the nation. Senior defensive back Darnell Savage Jr. has four interceptions, giving the Terrapins two players in the Top 11 in the country in picks.
Redshirt sophomore quarterback and Potomac, Maryland, native Dwayne Haskins, knows firsthand what this Maryland team can do.
“They beat Texas last year, they beat them this year, so I know how talented those guys are,” Haskins said. “ worked out with them, hang out with them. I know how skilled they are and how much they put into the game, so I feel like it’s good to have that self-scout report heading into this week.”
