Instant Analysis After Ohio State Destroyed Maryland

Here is our postgame reaction after the Buckeyes routed the Terrapins, 66-17.

How do you define perfection?

It's probably hard to perfectly pinpoint. But scoring touchdowns whenever you touch the ball is a good start. And after two consecutive weeks now where Ohio State's offense has done that on nearly every single possession when the first team is out on the field, it's easy to get excited about the Buckeyes' potential.

C.J. Stroud absolutely rocked Maryland's defense on Saturday. He finished the game with 406 yards passing and five touchdowns without turning the ball over. It's the second consecutive week that he's looked like one of the best players in college football. 

The Buckeyes once again put up huge numbers as a team, racking up 598 yards of offense and averaging 8.4 yards per play. Ohio State leads all of college football in each of those categories.

Here's our instant analysis right after Ryan Day's press conference concluded Saturday.
