After taking the opening drive down the field for a score, Ohio State has looked somewhat out of sync. Maybe we spoke too soon earlier and the Buckeyes are looking ahead to the showdown with Michigan.
OSU came out in the second half with a little more fire. After getting a stop on third and long, Maryland lined up to punt the ball away. Only before the Terrapin punter could get the kick away, Lathan Ransom snuck around the edge for the block. The Buckeyes recovered to set up a Dallan Hayden touchdown.
Check out the play below and see how Twitter reacted to the momentum-changing play.
