OHIO STATE VS. MARYLAND
SCOUTING OHIO STATE f Ohio State enters its Homecoming game
this week with a 4-1 overall record and 2-0 mark in the Big Ten. Both of its conference wins have come on the road. f The Buckeyes are averaging 50.6 points in the last three games and are giving up just 13.6. f Over the last two games ? in wins over Akron and Rutgers ? Ohio State's defense is surrendering 287.5 yards per game and has given up just three touchdowns. f Ohio State's defense has improved by 49 positions in scoring defense and by 34 in total offense the past two weekends. f The Buckeyes have not allowed a rushing touchdown since Week 2 against Oregon and are allowing just 86.6 yards per game on the ground over the last three games. f SAF Ronnie Hickman continues to be one of Ohio State's most consistent performers on defense. His 11-tackle performance on Saturday gives him a team-best 44 total stops for the season. Hickman has registered double figures in tackles in three of the Buckeyes' five games. f Hickman is one of only three players in the country to have at least 44 total tackles AND multiple interceptions this season. Credit: Griffin Strom, 11W. f On the other side of the ball, Ohio State's offense ranks fourth in points per game (45.0), eighth in passing (336.2 yards/ game) and first in yards per game (555.6). f Redshirt freshman quarterback C.J. Stroud is sixth nationally ? and first among freshmen ? in passer rating at 181.8 and he is 10th in TD passes (13). f Stroud also leads the Big Ten in passing yards per game (323.3), quarterback rating and TD passes. f His five touchdown passes last week at Rutgers were the most ever by a freshman in a Big Ten game.
MORE OHIO STATE BUCKEYE NOTES f Ohio State has won 20 consecutive Big
Ten Conference games. This is the longest streak in the Big Ten since Ohio State's national-record 30-game conference winning streak from 2013-15. f Coach Ryan Day's teams are 17-0 in Big Ten
Conference play. f Jeremy Rucket's 19-yard touchdown
reception last week at Rutgers gives him 10 for his career, which ties him with John Lumpkin (1996-98) for the second-most among tight ends. Jake Stoneburner holds the record with 13. f Seven players scored vs. Rutgers, including a touchdown for TE Mitch Rossi on his first career reception. f That "pick-6" for Denzel Burke: his first at any level of competition. f Burke is T7th nationally with seven passes defended (6 PBUs and 1 INT). f Ohio State's defense is second nationally in passes defended (38; 31 PBUs nd 7 INTs). f On the strength of a season's-best three turnovers forced vs. Rutgers (INTs by Burke, Tommy Eichenberg and Ryan Watts), Ohio State is T25th nationally in TO margin at .80 per game. f Ohio State's record for consecutive games with 500-or-more yards of total offense: six in 2017 and 2020. f Ohio State's record for "pick-6's" in a season: 7 in 2016. f Haskell Garrett's three QB sacks vs. Akron are tied for seventh in school history. The record is 4.0 by a handful of players, including Chase Young (2019 vs. Wisconsin). f Frosh DT Tyliek Williams has now registered a QB sack in three consecutive games. f Kicker Noah Ruggles has converted on 14 consecutive FGAs inside of 50 yards.
BUCKEYES FROM MARYLAND f LB Mitchell Melton (Olney), SAF Bryson
Shaw (Eldersberg) and DT Taron Vincent (Baltimore).
SCOUTING MARYLAND f The Terrapins got off to a 4-0 start before
suffering a loss last Friday night at home to No. 3 Iowa. f Quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa leads the Big Ten in completion percentage, connecting on 72.2 percent of his passes for 1,497 yards and 12 touchdowns. f His two favorite targets have been Dontay

HEAD COACH RYAN DAY
2019 DAVE McCLAIN BIG TEN COACH OF THE YEAR ? 27-3 CAREER RECORD
Ryan Day is in his third full season as head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes. He was named head coach by Ohio State Senior Vice President and Wolfe Foundation Endowed Athletics Director Gene Smith on Dec. 4, 2018.
Day has guided Ohio State to a 27-3 record in his first two-plus seasons as head coach and he is unbeaten against the Big Ten Conference with a 16-0 mark. He is the first Ohio State coach to win Big Ten championships in his first two years as coach, in 2019 and again in 2020, and he has also set the standard by leading Ohio State into the College Football Playoffs for two consecutive years.
The Buckeyes were ranked among the nation's Top 5 in 14 of 16 weeks.
The 2020 pandemic-shortened season may have been an even superior coaching performance by Day, who coached and counselled and led his team through months of separation, the anxiety of a cancelled season and then of a reduced season, and then the actual start/stop season. Ohio State was 5-0 in a scheduled eight-game regular season that had Maryland and Michigan cancel games with the Buckeyes because of the pandemic and that saw Ohio State cancel a game at Illinois because of the pandemic.
In 2019 Day became the first Ohio State coach in 40 years to be named Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year, earning that honor by coaching, developing and leading one of the best teams in school history. His 2019 Buckeyes became the first Big Ten team ever to win three consecutive outright Big Ten titles and the team advanced to the College Football Playoffs for the third time in the six-year playoff history. Day's 13 victories in 2019 are tied for the most by a first-year FBS head coach and he is the first coach to win 13 games before the start of the bowl season.
That undefeated record in the regular season earned Ohio State its fourth consecutive trip to Indianapolis and the Big Ten championship game, where the team defeated Northwestern, 22-10, to set itself up for a second consecutive invite to the College Football Playoffs, a program first.
Day and his wife, Christina or "Nina", are from Manchester, NH. The couple has three children: Ryan Jr. or "RJ", Grace and Ourania or "Nia".
