Ohio State kept the pain train rolling with a 62-14 thrashing of Maryland and a handful of true freshmen turned in key performances.
J.K. Dobbins just missed the century mark with 96 yards rushing on a stout 7.4 yards per carry including a three-yard plunge giving Ohio State a 55-7 lead late in the third quarter.
With Chris Worley still on the shelf, Baron Browning saw time in the middle of Ohio State's defense and responded by leading the team with six stops to along with 1.5 TFL. For my money, Browning is the top reserve in the middle, ahead of Tuf Borland who did register three stops of his own.
Chase Young was back at it terrorizing offensive linemen as he posted three stops including a sick pass rush resulting in a forced fumble. This kid is going to be special.
Other true freshmen also saw the field against the Terps. Your full run down is below, including season-to-date statistics.
