I think the implication Maryland is bailing on this game to avoid OSU and protect recruiting, is actually garbage. OSU is "gettable" right now, and the upside of winning in this crazy season is certainly worth the downside of taking a beating most assume you'd get. It's a "no-lose" situation for Maryland.
Also, MD had 8 kids test positive for Covid with the daily test. The daily test is 90% accurate. So lets say the had 1, maybe 2, false positives.....they still had 6 others who likely confirm positive cases.
I have mixed feelings on just quarantining the guys who are confirmed positive, and reaching deep into depth. To be honest, I'd rather OSU skip the game, and avoid major infections on our own team, than just teeing the ball up, and trying to kick the shit out of them.
I'd rather be safe than sorry. And I honestly believe MD would prefer to get the crack at us (especially with what Rutgers showed) and attempt the upset. I might be convinced otherwise if it was slated for Columbus. But it's not...we were going to their house.
