Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin star as No. 5 Ohio State beats Maryland 45-16 before brutal stretch
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Jeremiah Smith scored touchdowns on his first two touches to enhance his Heisman Trophy profile and Julian Sayin had four TD passes as No. 5 Ohio State warmed up for a brutal stretch of games with a sometimes-messy 45-16 win over Maryland on Saturday.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jeremiah Smith shone brightly in Ohio State's 45-16 win against Maryland, scoring touchdowns on his first two touches and adding to his Heisman Trophy prospects. Julian Sayin contributed with four touchdown passes. Smith dazzled with two short catches, while Sayin connected with tight ends Nate Roberts and Mason Williams for touchdowns.
The Buckeyes led 31-10 at halftime despite some sloppy moments. Smith had a season-low four catches for 93 yards but made the most of his chances, currently holding every major Ohio State record and close to the Big Ten mark. This game marked the 100th at Ohio State for coach Ryan Day, whose team is now 87-13. They face tough games against Indiana, Southern California, and Oregon in the upcoming weeks.
Meanwhile, Maryland (2-4, 0-3) fell to 0-10 against Ohio State, capitalizing on the Buckeyes' mistakes to stay in the game.
