Overview
- The Buckeyes’ latest availability report, released two days before kickoff, lists wide receivers Brandon Inniss and Devin McCuin, right tackle Phillip Daniels, linebacker Christian Alliegro and nickel back Jay Timmons as questionable while safety Leroy Roker III is ruled out.
- McCuin and Inniss are the top supporting targets behind Jeremiah Smith this season with McCuin at 17 catches for 245 yards and two touchdowns and Inniss at 10 catches for 147 yards and one touchdown.
- Coaches expect LSU transfer Kyle Parker to make his season debut and say freshmen Brock Boyd and Chris Henry Jr. could see expanded roles if the questionable receivers can’t play.
- Computer models and betting markets still project a lopsided Ohio State win because Maryland is 2-3, on a three-game losing streak and has struggled with turnovers and defense.
- Beyond Saturday’s matchup the report matters as a depth check for Ohio State’s offensive line and secondary with Daniels already having missed three games and the Buckeyes facing a tougher stretch that includes Indiana next week.
