WATCH: Ryan Day, Buckeyes press conference to preview Maryland matchup
COLUMBUS — Ohio State coach Ryan Day and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles met with the media for a press conference to preview the Buckeyes game against Maryland.
Watch the full press conference here or on the Lettermen Row Youtube channel.
Maryland is 5-0 for the first time since 2001, and Ryan Day understands the challenge that awaits the Buckeyes on Saturday inside the Horseshoe (Noon, FOX). Quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa and the Maryland offense have been one of the most explosive units in the country through the first five weeks of the year, and the Ohio State defense needs to play its best football to slow the Terrapins down.
“I mean, guys better recognize it because that’s exactly what happened,” Day said. “It went all the way down to the last play. And they know how good this team is and how many weapons they have. If we’re not executing very well, then it’s going to go all the way down to the fourth quarter.
“So yeah, this team definitely has our team’s attention.”
Lettermen Row’s Spencer Holbrook, Tim May and Andy Backstrom are back after the Buckeyes idle week to talk about what they heard from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles ahead of their matchup against Maryland this upcoming weekend. This is expected to be a challenge for the Buckeyes on both sides of the ball, and the crew has plenty to break down.

Marvin Harrison Jr. expected to be full go for Maryland game
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will be good to go this week against Maryland.
Harrison suffered a third quarter injury during the Buckeyes’ dramatic, 17-14 win at Notre Dame. Harrison had his feet taken out from underneath him while run blocking for a 61-yard TreVeyon Henderson touchdown. Notre Dame safety Ramon Henderson dove for the tackle, couldn’t bring Ohio State’s Henderson down and instead slid into Harrison’s right ankle from behind.
Harrison was down on the field for a few minutes after Henderson’s breakaway score. Eventually, Ohio State trainers helped the junior wideout to the sideline. After getting taped up in the medical tent, Harrison returned to action, finishing with 66-of-69 possible offensive snaps played, according to Pro Football Focus.
