Ohio State seems to be getting into a rut – the good kind that can lead to championships.
J.T. Barrett accounted for four touchdowns, Curtis Samuel scored three TDs and the sixth-ranked Buckeyes enjoyed another 62-3 rout – this time, against Maryland on Saturday.
After beating then-No. 10 Nebraska by the identical score last week, Ohio State poured it on against Maryland, going up 21-3 after the first quarter and 45-3 at halftime.
”It’s just that time of year where you’re getting closer to the playoffs and championship games,” Samuel said. ”We know we’ve got to step it up. We’ve got to come out here every day and give it our all, put up numbers.”
Ohio State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP) has won three straight to remain in contention for the Big Ten title and, more importantly, a berth in the College Football Playoff.
With Barrett and Samuel leading the way, the Buckeyes eliminated any potential drama by scoring touchdowns on three of their four possessions in the first quarter.
