Just a Ohio State finished off the MSU Spartans in the most dominating fashion in a Big Ten game since the 2014 beatdown 59-0 OSU over Wisconsin, Jim Harbaugh's Xichagan team was about to take the field at Maryland, a team that has not played well at all since they lost to Iowa 51-14. Yet if you watched the Xichigan at Maryland game in the 1st half you would have seen a team in Maryland who marched up and down the field against that Vaunted Xichigan Defense and shot themselves in the foot in the Red Zone on at least 2 occasions when the Maryland  QB, Taulia Tagovailoa missed wide open receivers in the end zone on their first 2 drives. While Maryland rushed for nearly 200 yards against that Impregnable Xichigan Defense that recorded only 1 sack vs Maryland but true to form B1G Network talking heads Joshua Parry and Jerry Denardo did their best to call  Xichigan the most Complete and balanced team in the Big Ten and all the praise how the Wolverines are on the same level as Ohio State. Does anyone expect this game to be that close? A Xichigan team that Lost 2 Xichigan State by 4 after leading by 17 points in that game also needed a blown coverage TD to beat Penn State and held on the beat a Rutgers team that dominated them the entire 2nd half of that game. The Maryland game was more a case of Maryland laying down and quitting after doing anything that they wanted in the 1st few possessions but missing 2 chances to be tied in the 1st Qtr.

Vegas has  The Game at OSU -7.5 but a quote from an odds maker, "We’d expect that line to grown in a hurry. Ohio State looked at its best on Saturday. And the Buckeyes have dominated the Michigan Wolverines over the years."
