COLUMBUS, Ohio – Coming off a fi ne eff ort in the win Saturday at Rugers, Ohio State opens its home Big Ten schedule on Saturday when it welcomes Maryland to Ohio Stadium for a 4 p.m. kickoff on Homecoming. The game will be televised on FOX with Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt and Jenny Taft calling all of the action. The Buckeyes rolled to a 56-0 win at Rutgers to improve to 2-0 in conference play behind the off ensive exploits of QB J.T. Barrett (275 yards passing, 89 yards rushing, three total TD), Johnnie Dixon (three receptions, 105 yards, three TD) and Mike Weber (10 carries, 44 yards, three TD). On defense, the Buckeyes limited Rutgers to just 209 total yards and registered its fi rst shutout of the 2017 season. Maryland picked up a road win last Saturday when it topped previously unbeaten Minnesota, 31-24, in Minneapolis. The Terps iced the game with a 34-yard touchdown run by Ty Johnson with under two minutes remaining to break a 24-all tie. Maryland is 3-1 this year with wins over Minnesota and Texas on the road and Towson at home. Saturday’s game will be the fourth all-time between Ohio State and Maryland with all coming since the Terrapins joined the Big Ten prior to the 2014 season. In 2014, the Buckeyes won 52-24 in College Park and followed that up with a 49-28 victory in Columbus in 2015. Last year, Ohio State scored 45 fi rst-half points in a 62-3 win in College Park.

Setting the Stage: Buckeyes versus Terrapins

REAL QUICK ...

• The Buckeyes have four players on their roster from the state of Maryland: QB Dwayne Haskins, DE Chase Young, LB Keandre Jones and OL Isaiah Prince.

SCOUTING MARYLAND

Quarterback Max Bortenschlager, the third starter to see action so far due to injuries, fi nished 18-of-28 for 154 yards and one TD against the Gophers, but it was a 34-yard burst by RB Ty Johnson with under two minutes to play that clinched the victory for Maryland last Saturday, 31-24, in Minneapolis. The Terps have a talented running back tandem that includes Johnson (46 carries, 411 yards, four TD) and Lorenzo Harrison III (46 carries, 201 yards). Regardless of who is playing quarterback, the most dangerous receiving threat is D.J. Moore, who already has 30 receptions in just four games for 403 yards and fi ve touchdowns. Overall, Maryland has put up 31 or more points in three of four games thus far and ranks 24th in the country in rush off ense (233.5 yards/game). On defense, Maryland has three players with 20 or more tackles.

2017 OHIO STATE POSITION-BY-POSITION SNAPSHOT

DEFENSIVE LINE

Coach Larry Johnson (4th year at Ohio State)

Briefl y … Coach Larry Johnson is diversifying the skill sits of his talented and deep unit and is maximizing the abilities of the entire group. Six diff erent Buckeyes have started at least three games apiece along the line. No. 2 Nationally: Ohio State’s defense is No. 2 in the nation in tackles for loss with 45. The defensive line is leading the way here, with 28.5 of those 45 TFLs to its credit. Bosa, who had a career-best day two weeks ago against UNLV with three TFLs including one quarterback sack, leads the way with eight TFLs for a negative 29 yards. He also tops the team in sacks with 3.0. Hubbard (4.0 TFLs) nd Jones (3.0) rank second and third, respectively, on the team in TFLs. Lewis is just behind Bosa in sacks with 2.5. Notable Notes & Numbers: Dre’mont Jones had a string of 16 consecutive starts at DT snapped last week because of a freak locker-room injury that required stitches … After a stats correction, true freshman Chase Young was credited with four tackles and 2.0 tackles-for-loss against Rutgers … Last year Lewis was the Big Ten’s defensive lineman of the year and Hubbard was an Academic All-American. Bosa and Jones were freshmen All-Americans … Lewis is coming off consecutive eight-sack seasons in 2015 and 2016 and he has climbed into Ohio State’s all-time Top 10 for sacks with 18.5. Six more will move him into Ohio State’s Top 5.

OFFENSIVE LINE

Coach Greg Studrawa (2nd year at Ohio State)

Briefl y … Already-graduated C Billy Price, senior LT Jamarco Jones, sophomore LG Michael Jordan and junior RT Isaiah Prince are in their second season starting as a unit and they are joined by third-year sophomore Branden Bowen, who won the right guard position in a position battle that lasted all throughout spring and fall camps. Starter Stats: The quartet of Price, Jones, Jordan and Prince has now started 18 consecutive games. Price has started 46 consecutive games. The school record for consecutive starts is 50 by Luke Fickell from 1993-96. Notable Notes & Numbers: The line has powered the Buckeyes to No. 1 rankings in the Big Ten Conference in total off ense, rushing off ense, passing off ense and scoring off ense. The team is fi fth nationally in total off ense at 564.8 yards per game and No. 13 nationally in passing yardage at 323.8 yards per game … Price, like Pat Elfl ein last year, has moved to center for his senior season which will further enhance his status as a team leader while diversifying his skills and talents for the next level. Elfl ein was a unanimous All-American and the Rimington Award winner as the nation’s outstanding center … Price was a fi rst-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association, Jones was second-team all-Big Ten and Jordan was a freshman All-American.

RECEIVERS

Coach Zach Smith (6th year at Ohio State)

Spreading the Wealth … Six players have been leading the way at the three positions: Parris Campbell and K.J. Hill at H-Back, Austin Mack and Binjimen Victor at one receiver spot and Terry McLaurin and Johnnie Dixon at the other. All six have caught at least one touchdown pass this season and all have caught at least one pass in every game with the exception being Dixon, who missed the Army game with a slight injury that kept him sidelined, and Mack, who didn’t have a reception against Rutgers. Big Play Makers: Those six wide receivers came into the season with just six combined receptions of 20 or more yards. Five games into the season the receiving corps, including surprising walk-on C.J. Saunders, has 17 such receptions and they are a major reason that Ohio State ranks 17th nationally with 33 plays from scrimmage over 20 yards (21 receptions and 12 runs). Notable Notes & Numbers: Ohio State is on the cusp of having six wide receivers with double digit receptions: Campbell and Hill lead with 19; McLaurin is right behind with 17 and Victor is fourth with 10. Dixon, Saunders and Mack each have eight catches apiece … All seven of those receivers have caught a touchdown pass this season … Dixon is coming off a huge game against Rutgers with three catches for 115 yards and touchdowns covering 70 and 39 yards … Ohio State has four 100-yard receiving games already this season: Dixon with 115 vs. Rutgers; Campbell 136 vs. Indiana and 105 vs. UNLV; and Saunders with 102 vs. UNLV. This already is the most 100-yard receiving games by receivers in coach Urban Meyer’s six seasons as coach. Previous high was three in 2015 and 2013 … Campbell and Saunders vs. UNLV represent the fi rst 100-yard receiving tandem for Ohio State since Ted Ginn and Santonio Holmes did it versus Notre Dame 12 years ago, in 2005 … Hill had a career-best eff ort vs. Army with eight receptions for 74 yards … six receivers, and seven total players, caught touchdown passes against UNLV for a new school record. Four times fi ve diff erent players had caught a touchdown pass in game.

LINEBACKERS

Coach Billy Davis (1st year at Ohio State)

Briefl y … Team captain Chris Worley has missed the past two games with a foot sprain suff ered in the fi rst half of the win over Army. RS freshman Tuf Borland has started in his place at middle linebacker against UNLV and Rutgers. Jerome Baker leads this unit with 23 tackles. Baker is the only linebacker to start all fi ve games. A diff erent player has led this unit in tackles four consecutive games: Dante Booker had four vs. Rutgers. Malik Harrison led the team with fi ve vs. UNLV. Borland led the Buckeyes with 12 total tackles against the Black Knights after Worley departed late in the fi rst half; and Worley led with 11 vs. Oklahoma. Notable Notes & Numbers: Booker is coming

off a fi ne game vs. Rutgers. His four-tackle total included two tackles-for-losses totaling 11 yards, one sack and an interception to stop an early Rutgers drive … Worley moved to middle linebacker on Day 1 of spring drills after playing on the outside last year … Borland’s 12 total stops versus Army were the most by a freshman linebacker since the 2011 season, when Ryan Shazier, now a starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers, recorded 15 against Penn State … Current Ohio State linebackers have a total of eight double-digit tackling games combined: Worley leads the way with four: 11 vs. Oklahoma this year and last year he had 10 vs. Clemson, 11 vs. Michigan and 10 vs. Oklahoma. Baker had a career-high 15 vs. Michigan last season and also 13 vs. Wisconsin and 11 vs. Indiana. Borland entered the group with 12 vs. Army.

CORNERBACKS

Coach Kerry Coombs (6th year at Ohio State)

Briefl y … Coombs is starting two new cornerbacks this year: junior Denzel Ward and sophomore Damon Arnette. Both players have started all fi ve games. A newcomer to the program, junior college transfer Kendall Sheffi eld, has also played extensively for the Buckeyes the fi rst fi ve games of the season. Notable Notes & Numbers: Ward is tied for second nationally with 2.0 passes defensed per game (nine pass break-ups and one interception). His 10 total passes defended are tied for fi rst nationally. In his fi rst ever start in the season opener vs. Indiana, Ward had fi ve pass break-ups and a key, fourth-quarter interception … Arnette recorded his fi rst career interception against UNLV. His 35-yard return set the Buckeyes up on the UNLV 7 and led to the fourth touchdown of the day for the home team … Arnette is fi fth on the team in tackles with 21 and Sheffi eld is next with 20 … True freshman Jeff rey Okudah has played on defense in all fi ve games this season … Ohio State has lost four defensive backs early to the NFL Draft in the last two years with all four fi rst round picks, including a record three cornerbacks in two years. Eli Apple went No. 10 in 2016 to the New York Giants and in this past year’s draft Marshon Lattimore went No. 11 overall to the New Orleans Saints and Gareon Conley went No. 24 overall to the Oakland Raiders.

SAFETIES

Coach Greg Schiano (2nd year at Ohio State)

Briefl y … Damon Webb has an interception in consecutive games and he now has three for his career. Webb is the veteran in the entire secondary. He started all 13 games last season alongside Malik Hooker and has a streak of 18 consecutive starts to his credit. Jordan Fuller has joined Webb in the starting lineup at the other safety spot in all fi ve games. Notable Notes & Numbers: Webb, on the strength of consecutive career-high tackling games with nine stops vs. both Oklahoma and Army, is the team leader in tackles with 25 …

Right behind Webb is Fuller, who returned to his home state of New Jersey and led the team in tackles versus the Scarlet Knights with eight … Still a lot of football to be played, but a non-linebacker has led the Buckeyes in tackles for a season only six times since 1970, with safety C.J. Barnett most-recently leading the team in 2011 with 75 … Erick Smith, a true senior, was seeing his most extensive action on defense this year before he did not play or make the trip to Rutgers. He was outstanding for the Buckeyes versus Army. He broke up two passes, including one diving pass break-up that would have been a sure touchdown for Army, and he also had a career-high nine tackles, part of a 22-tackle afternoon for the three top safeties. He also had a TFL and a fumble recovery … Fuller grabbed

7


a tipped pass at the goal line and returned it 40 yards to stop a fi rst-half Indiana drive in Game 1 this season. It was Fuller’s fi rst career interception … Webb actually had more plays on defense last year than Hooker: 810 to 808 … Hooker was a unanimous All-American in his one season as a starter last year. He led the nation in “pick-sixes” with three and ranked third nationally with seven interceptions.

QUARTERBACK

Coach Ryan Day (1st year at Ohio State)

Briefl y … J.T. Barrett is 30-5 as an Ohio State starting quarterback and has claimed 27 school (24) and/or Big Ten (3) records, with his most recent records huge: he broke Art Schlichter’s 36-year-old school record for passing yards (7,547 yards between 1978-81) in the Rutgers game and he is now at 7,622 yards and counting; and he accounted for three touchdowns against Army to increase his TDs responsible total to 107, breaking the previous Big Ten best of 106 by Purdue’s Drew Brees. He added fi ve touchdown passes in less than a half against UNLV and three in just over a half vs. Rutgers to extend his record to 115. Dwayne Haskins and Joe Burrow have each played well off the bench. Haskins completed 15 of 23 passes for 228 yards and the fi rst two TD passes of his career: 28 yards to C.J. Saunders and 38 yards to Rashod Berry against UNLV, and he had a 35-yard TD strike to Demario McCall against Rutgers. Burrow, who broke a bone in his throwing hand about a month ago and is just now returning to form, is 6-for-6 for 57 yards so far this season. Notable Notes & Numbers: The Barrett-led Buckeyes are 13th nationally in passing yards with 323.8 yards per game, a fi gure that is fi rst in the Big Ten … Barrett, Haskins and Burrow combined to throw for a single game school record 474 yards versus UNLV and they also threw a school-record tying seven touchdown passes to a school record seven diff erent receivers … Barrett topped Iowa great Chuck Long to move into 10th place in Big Ten history with 10,350 career yards of total off ense. Drew Brees has the Big Ten record of 12,692 total off ensive yards. Barrett is averaging 300.8 yards per game … Barrett trails only Art Schlichter (36) and Cornelius Greene (31) in wins as a starting quarterback at Ohio State.

RUNNING BACKS

Coach Tony Alford (3rd year at Ohio State)

Briefl y … Mike Weber is back! Coaches and trainers have been cautious and deliberate with regard to his activity this season as he recovered from a fall camp hamstring issue that kept him sidelined for the Indiana and UNLV games and allowed him just seven total carries – for 42 yards – in games against Oklahoma and Army. But he returned to form against Rutgers with 10 carries, 44 yards and three touchdowns, the fi rst three-touchdown game of his career. True freshman J.K. Dobbins has starred in his fi ve starts: rushing for 573 yards off 75 carries with three touchdowns and a terrifi c 7.6 yards per carry average. He is 15th nationally in rushing at 114.6 yards per game. Antonio Williams has played well in support of Dobbins: he has gained 131 yards and scored twice while averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Demario McCall also had a breakout game vs. Rutgers with 103 rushing yards off 11 carries, including a 48-yard touchdown run. He also caught a 35-yard touchdown pass. Notable Notes & Numbers: Ohio State running backs have lost just two yards rushing all season (127 attempts) … Dobbins averaged 13.2 yards per carry against Army, with 172 yards off 13 carries. Only one player in school history has topped that yards per carry average with at least 10 attempts in a game: Ron Springs rushed for 151 yards off 10 carries in 1977 vs. Purdue … Dobbins is only the sixth true freshman to start the fi rst game of season for Ohio State. The others: QB Art Schlichter in 1978; LT Orlando Pace in 1995; LB Andy Katzenmoyer in 1996; RB Maurice Clarett in 2002; and RG Michael Jordan in 2016 … Last year Weber was just the third Ohio State freshman to crack 1,000 yards rushing (1,096 yards with nine touchdowns) and he was the ninth Buckeye to capture Big Ten freshman of the year honors … Dobbins has joined Archie Griffi n (1972) and Maurice Clarett (2002) as the only freshman running backs to rush for at least 170 yards in a game twice. Dobbins went for 181 vs. Indiana in addition to his 172 against Army.

TIGHT END

Coach Kevin Wilson (1st year at Ohio State)

Briefl y … 2016 starter Marcus Baugh has returned from off -season surgery and is leading the way here once again with nine receptions for 88 yards

so far this season. Redshirt freshman Luke Farrell and sophomore Rashod Berry are next in line to play and each have multiple catches this season. Notable Notes & Numbers: Baugh has started 20 times in his career, including in all 13 games last season … Four! Four tackles Berry broke on his second career reception which turned into a 38-yard touchdown reception that was an athletic work of physical art … Berry, who played tight end as a red-shirt in 2015 but moved to defensive end last year before moving back to tight end this fall, had three catches for 57 yards against UNLV … Baugh is a fi fth-year senior who has considerable experience with 43 games played and 36 receptions for 391 yards and three touchdowns. He made a key block to spring J.K. Dobbins on his 52-yard touchdown run against Army that broke the game open and he was also cited by coaches for his key block that enabled Johnnie Dixon to score his 39-yard touchdown last week.

SPECIAL TEAMS – Meyer/Coombs

In brief: Liam McCullough is in his second season as a long snapper and Sean Nuernberger is in his second year handling all placements. Nuernberger was the team’s kicker in 2014 but red-shirted last season. Drue Chrisman is a red-shirt freshman in his fi rst season as the team’s punter. Notable Notes & Numbers: Parris Campbell is second nationally in kickoff return yardage with an average of 42.3 yards per return. He doesn’t have touchdown return yet, but he has a long of 82 – vs. UNLV – and he had a return of at least 40 yards in three consecutive games … Chrisman has stepped in splendidly for departed and talented Australian punter Cam Johnston by averaging 43.4 yards per punt through the fi rst fi ve games. Chrisman was terrifi c vs. Oklahoma: a 45.8 yard average off four punts with all four landing inside the 15, at the 13, 11, 9 and 8 yard lines. Chrisman and the Buckeyes are 13th nationally in net punting at 42.2 yards per punt … Ohio State is one of 10 schools to not allow any punt return yardage yet this season … Chrisman had a string of seven consecutive punts downed at or inside the 15 against Oklahoma and Army … Nuernberger has hit all seven of his fi eld goal attempts this season and is now 23-for-31 in his career. He has also connected on a school record 132 consecutive extra point tries to move within reach of the Big Ten record of 141 consecutive extra points … True freshman Amir Riep has a team best fi ve tackles on kickoff coverage, including three at or inside the 20 (at the 13 and 20 vs. Indiana, and at the 18 vs. Army) … Elijaah Goins had three kickoff return tackles inside the 15 vs. UNLV.

BACK TO BACK SHUTOUTS

Ohio State’s 56-0 win at Rutgers last week marked the second consecutive year that the Buckeyes earned a shutout against the Scarlet Knights and the fi rst time since 1979-80 that they’ve blanked a conference opponent in back to back years (Wisconsin).

J.T. THE RECORD BREAKER

In addition to becoming Ohio State’s all-time leader in passing yards last Saturday, J.T. Barrett also moved in to the top 10 in Big Ten history in total yards, passing former Iowa great Chuck Long. Barrett currently has 10,350 yards of total off ense and counting.

LAST TIME VS. MARYLAND

J.T. Barrett accounted for four touchdowns, Curtis Samuel scored three TDs and the Buckeyes jumped out to a 45-3 halftime lead on their way to a 62-3 victory in College Park. With Barrett and Samuel leading the way, the Buckeyes eliminated any potential drama by scoring touchdowns on three of their four possessions in the fi rst quarter.Samuel got things started with a 2-yard touchdown run. Barrett then took it in from 4 and added a 36-yard TD pass to Samuel. Barrett made it 28-3 with a 1-yard run early in the second quarter and Samuel got his third touchdown around right end from the 5. Urban Meyer replaced Barrett during a third-quarter drive that ended with a TD for a 55-3

lead. Barrett ran for two touchdowns, threw two scoring passes and fi nished 18 for 27 for 253 yards.

There are twp new coaches on Ohio State’s staff this year: off ensive coordinator/TE coach Kevin Wilson and co-off ensive coordinator/QB coach Ryan Day. Wilson came to the Buckeyes after six seasons as Indiana’s head coach and led them to consecutive bowl games in 2015 and 2016 for the fi rst time since the 1990 and 1991 seasons. Day arrived with 15 seasons of coaching experience, including two years as quarterbacks coach in the NFL (San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles) and 10 seasons as a Division I assistant coach.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Members of the Ohio State football team combined for the highest spring term grade point average in eight years with a 2.92 overall average for the semester. This is the third consecutive semester, and fourth out of the past fi ve, that the football team’s overall term grade point average had improved.A total of 44 players had a spring semester grade point average of 3.00 or above with three players – Billy Price, Jordan Fuller and Liam McCullough – earning perfect, 4.00 GPAs. Both Price and McCullough were Big Ten Distinguished Scholars (Fuller wasn’t eligible as a true freshman).

SCORING MACHINES

Urban Meyer’s teams have averaged 37.1 points per game over the duration of his 16-year, 198-game head coaching career. Only one other coach who coached the last 15 seasons has had teams score more than Meyer’s teams over this time: former Oklahoma head coch Bob Stoops.

DEFENSIVE BACK U

Three Ohio State defensive backs - Gareon Conley, Marshon Lattimore and Malik Hooker - were selected in the fi rst round of the 2017 NFL Draft to tie the mark for most at the position in one draft and set records over two drafts with four defensive backs chosen in the fi rst round and three cornerbacks taken. No program has developed four fi rst-round defensive backs over two seasons or had three cornerbacks taken until Ohio State did so this year and last, when Eli Apple was selected No. 10 by the New York Giants. This year’s trio has also given Ohio State eight fi rst round draft picks over the past two seasons, breaking the school record of seven combined from the 2006 and 2007 NFL Drafts.

Ohio StadiumHOME OF THE BUCKEYES

Ohio State enters the Maryland game with a string of 109 CONSECUTIVE CROWDS of 100,000 or larger.

Ohio Stadium is one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of sports. Built in 1922 at a cost of $1.3 million and refurbished in 2001 for slightly more than $194 million, the horseshoe-shaped stadium is a monument to college football. As part of the renovation, the once portable South Stands became a permanent fixture.

Ohio Stadium is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Anyone who has seen a game in the giant horseshoe understands why. There are few experiences in athletics that are more enjoyable!

GAME 7: AT PENN STATE GAME 9: NEBRASKA

Ohio State University head football coach Urban Meyer is 64-7 through fi ve-plus seasons leading one of the most storied programs in college football. He has coached the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2014 – the program’s eighth – by winning the fi rst College Football Playoff (CFP), to a repeat appearance in the CFP in 2017, to fi ve consecutive Big Ten conference divisional titles and a Big Ten crown in 2014, to a 38-2 record in Big Ten games and to a 16-5 record versus ranked teams.

He has done this by developing and overseeing a program culture that requires accountability, promotes respect, prepares young men for life after football and develops football skill sets and talents at an unsurpassed rate: his program has produced 33 NFL draft picks the last fi ve years, including 10 fi rst-round picks and record numbers of draft picks through the second, third and fourth rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft.

And his team members are getting it done in the classroom, as well. Ohio State Buckeyes have earned four academic All-American honorees the past three years, one National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete award and the team is coming off its fi nest academic semester under Meyer last fall with record numbers of students with 3.0 (or above) grade point averages for the semester and cumulatively.

These fi rst 15 years as a head coach for Meyer, featuring three national championships and a record of 165 wins against just 29 losses for an .850 winning percentage, have been full of accomplishment, achievement and success for which few can compare. Consider:

• Meyer is the third-winningest coach in the history of college football (at least 10 years at an FBS school), trailing only Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy;

• Meyer’s .850 winning percentage is No. 1 among all active coaches with at least fi ve years of experience at an FBS school;

• He set the major college record with 165 wins through his fi rst 15 seasons as a head coach;• Meyer’s 2015 Buckeye senior class was the fi rst Power 5 school to win 50 games

over a four-year run (2012-15); • Meyer is the only modern day coach to win national championships coaching in two

diff erent conferences and, with championships in 2006 and 2008 at Florida and 2014 at Ohio State, he is one of only two coaches to win national titles at two diff erent schools;

• He is the fi rst coach in modern history – since 1937 when the NCAA began keeping records – to win at least 13 games in consecutive years (in 2008 and 2009), three times (2006-08-09) and four times (2006-08-09 at Florida and 2014 at Ohio State);

• Meyer is the only coach in major college history to have four diff erent winning streaks of at least 20 games (20 with Utah/Florida; 22 at Florida; 25 with Florida and Ohio State; and 23 at Ohio State). Only eight other coaches have had even two winning streaks of at least 20 games;

• Meyer won more games his fi rst 10 years – 104 – than all but three coaches in college football history; and

• Meyer reached 100 wins faster than all but one coach – Bud Wilkinson – in the last 57 years and faster than all but fi ve coaches all-time.

Making the Great State of Ohio Proud

Born in Toledo, raised in Ashtabula and with degrees from Cincinnati and Ohio State, Urban Meyer made it clear from the day he took the Ohio State position - Nov. 28, 2011 - what his intentions are: “We’re going to make the great state of Ohio proud with everything we do.” With “a statewide approval rating roughly equal to that of free ice cream” wrote David Briggs of The Blade in 2016, Meyer has, indeed, made Ohio proud of his Buckeyes.
