Overview

  • Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa nearly led his team to an upset over Ohio State last season.
  • Tagovailoa is a skilled passer who can extend plays with his mobility and make accurate throws on the run.
  • Ohio State's defense needs to stay disciplined in their pass rush and track Maryland's receivers to avoid giving up big plays.
  • Ohio State's cornerbacks face a challenge covering Maryland's receivers in man coverage and on broken plays.
  • Creating turnovers could be key for Ohio State's defense to get Tagovailoa out of rhythm.
