Game Thread tOSU vs. Maryland (Homecoming), Sat 10/10 @ 12p ET, BTN

Here's to hoping that Cardale gets to drag his junk over another one of those ugly ass terrapin helmets like last year......or maybe it's Zeke's turn this year with all of the hurdles he has been launching. GO BUCKS!!!

I'm not the betting type but that -33 seems like easy money. The boys are due to cover and with all the talk of their coach getting let go it just seems like we could look at a major shellacking. I'll call for 52-3.

Aside from the VT game, we haven't covered the spread at all this season. I was thinking that 33 points is still too much to cover, then I did some quick research. Their only two wins came against FCS Richmond and shitty South Florida. They've scored a grand total of six points over the last two games. Their stats are pretty fucking bad:

Offense:
#114 total
#84 rushing
#103 passing
#99 scoring

Defense:
#109 total
#102 rushing
#93 passing
#95 scoring

No way we shouldn't shut out these clowns, and hang 40+ on them. I'll call 45-10 to barely cover...

Yeah I just see a medevial butchering. We are way overdo to break out and you have to think the boys can smell the blood in the water. I seriously wouldn't be surprised to see us go over 60 and I just can't see them going over 10 so.......

From the article linked in the Tweet:


It will literally be a bye week.

but why....

I imagine they'll ban towels after this season as they obviously give Zeke a competitive advantage.

Is Maryland being a little trigger-happy? They posted their highest APR ever under Edsall. When he took over, they had lost scholarships due to low APR. He also is the 1st coach in UMd history to beat m*ch*gan, and led the Terps over Ped State for their first win over the Pedsters since 1961.

His career record isn't great at UMd (22-33, 9-9 in the B1G), but what is Maryland wanting? Rockne?

I think they'd be happy with (half) a Friedgen (75-50 at MD). I would think they have the kind of money to make a pretty interesting hire - if the AD doesn't screw it up again.

Prescient article from 2011: Was Randy Edsall’s Failure at Maryland Preordained?

Mark Silverman: We believe BTN will be home of the most nationally relevant games all day on Saturday and all three will feature additional production elements. BTN will go to the Ohio State game early enough to watch the dotting of the “I” in Script Ohio, and also show The Big House early enough so fans can watch the band play “Hail to the Victors.”

These extra elements help showcase why BTN is different than other networks and how we aim to bring more of the collegiate feel to our broadcasts. Our games and schools are national schools that attract students and send alumni all over the country, and we expect to draw a considerable national audiences for our games.

I figure it will be a comfortable win with a couple turnovers and some questionable play calls and miscues by Cardale. Buckeye fans will bitch and moan about the offense and talk about which game they're going to lose and someone will call for Beck's job.

Then next week we beat the brakes off PSU and choke them to death with their mascots scarf in front of a shit ton of recruits who love black uniforms.

After that, we win every game by at least 20 including the playoff and NC.
