Ohio State dodges Maryland 52-51 in OT
COLLEGE PARK, MD. Dwayne Haskins passed for 405 yards and three touchdowns and ran for three more scores, including a 5-yarder in overtime, as Ohio State escaped Maryland 52-51 on Saturday.
Haskins was 28 of 38 and rallied the Buckeyes (10-1) from deficits of 17-3, 31-17 and 45-38.
The Terrapins led by a touchdown with less than two minutes to play, but Haskins forced ovetime with a 3-yard TD pass to Binjamin Victor with 44 seconds to play.
Haskins' third rushing TD capped Ohio State's overtime possession.
Maryland then scored on Tayon Fleet-Davis' 1-yard run, but the Terrapins (5-6) opted to go for two and a possible win. But quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome's pass to Jashaun Jones — who was open in the end zone — was off the mark.
The Buckeyes will host Michigan next week.
