Another week and another team gets its stats stuffed.
It's always interesting to see how a team's stats change after playing Ohio State.
Below you will be able to compare Indiana's stats before playing, and after playing, Ohio State.
MARYLAND'S OFFENSIVE NUMBERS
Maryland entered the game with an offense that was sputtering and without a quarterback. Before playing Ohio State the Terrapins averaged 23.6 points (99th) and 332.4 total yards (114th) of offense per game. The Buckeyes' 14th ranked defense was gashed by Perry Hills' legs. Hill rushed for 170 yards (6.8 ypc) and 2 touchdowns.
MARYLAND'S DEFENSIVE NUMBERS
Maryland ranked 109th in defense. Cardale Jones and Ohio State's offense took advantage of the Terrapins 93rd ranked passing defense. The Buckeyes threw for 317 yards and 2 touchdowns. Cardale Jones was 21/28 (.750) for 291 yards and 2 touchdowns.
MARYLAND'S SPECIAL TEAMS
The Terrapins were able to keep Jalin Marshall and Dontre Wilson from breaking a game-changing return. Maryland's punter, Nicolas Pritchard, did a good job of punting away from Marshall.
Maryland's dynamic punt and kickoff return specialist, William Likely, was bottled up by the Buckeyes. Likely showed his potential with a 28-yard kickoff return, but Ohio State's special teams held him to below his season average in kickoff and punt returns.
