Can Ohio State’s offense continue to improve versus Maryland?

While I’m still not buying that Ohio State offense was all that much better against Michigan State last week — they gained 4 yards per play and only scored 17 points — they definitely showed signs of life against a tough Spartans defense. How much can they build on that against an exponentially worse Maryland defense?

On this week’s preview episode of the Hangout in the Holy Land, Patrick Mayhorn and I break down how the Buckeyes match up with the Terrapins, what we think about the offense, and the craziness surrounding Brett McMurphy’s latest report about Urban Meyer.
