This weekend s matchup marks the first meeting in Columbus since 2015 when the Terps and then-no. 1 Buckeyes were tied, 21-21, midway through the third quarter before Ohio State pulled away late. Former Maryland quarterback Perry Hills ran for a Maryland quarterback record 170 rushing yards in the game. The Terps enter Columbus 1-0 in Big Ten play after defeating Minnesota on the road, 31-24, behind third-string quarterback Max Bortenschlager. A number of key factors led to the victory, most notably Maryland limiting its turnovers (0) and converting 9-of-16 third down conversions while protecting Bortenschlager (zero sacks allowed). Maryland has won three games this season with three different starting quarterbacks, with Tyrrell Pigrome starting against Texas, Kasim Hill starting against Towson and Max Bortenschlager starting against Minnesota. Pigrome and Hill have since been ruled out for the season due to injury. Bortenschlager passed for two touchdowns and ran for a third in the Terps win over the Golden Gophers. Junior wide receiver DJ Moore caught his fifth touchdown pass of the season against Minnesota to move into a tie for fourth in Maryland history with Minnesota Vikings star Stefon Diggs ( ) at 14 career TD receptions. Moore is off to an incredible start in 2017, leading the Big Ten in virtually every receiving category: receiving touchdowns (5), receiving yards (403), receiving yards per game (100.8) and receptions per game (7.5). The Maryland defense has not allowed a 100-yard rusher in eight consecutive games dating back to 2016, with Nebraska s Terrell Newby posting the most with 98 rush yards during the span on Nov. 19, Overall, the defense is allowing rush yards/g in 2017, which ranks 48th nationally and seventh in the Big Ten - a far cry from last season when it ranked 99th nationally allowing 214.8/g. Junior running back Ty Johnson has racked up 738 rushing yards (123.0/g) over his last six games dating back to 2016, averaging 10.3 yards-per-carry during the span. Johnson has totaled six rushing touchdowns in those six games, while eclipsing the 100-yard mark in five games during the span.

3 ON THE OFFENSE By The Numbers The Maryland offensive line was tremendous in the Big Ten opener, protecting third-string quarterback Max Bortenschlager by not allowing a single sack. The protection allowed the signal caller to complete 64 percent of his 28 attempts against the Gophers without an interception. The run game was also impressive, rushing for 262 yards on a defense that entered the game ranked No. 1 in the nation allowing just 59 yards per game. Wide receiver DJ Moore has been spectacular through the season s first four games, leading the conference in virtually every receiving category: touchdowns (5), yards (403), yards per game (100.8) and receptions per game (7.5). Moore has had at least seven catches in every game this season. Prior to 2017, he had never had more than six receptions in a game. Ty Johnson and DJ Moore currently represent arguably the nation s top playmaking duo, ranking second (160.0/g) and third (146.3), respectively in all-purpose yards per game. They also rank eighth and 15th nationally, respectively. Johnson and Moore are the only teammates in the country in the top-25 in all-purpose yards per game. All four of sophomore quarterback Max Bortenschlager s touchdown drives against Minnesota were at least 2 minutes and 40 seconds in length, with three being longer than 3:30. Bortenschlager s ability to sustain drives is quite evident, as he has led the Terps to five of the six total 3:30+ drives this season (19 drives total). He also led the Terps to a fantastic 9-of-16 day on third downs against the Gophers. Junior wide receiver DJ Moore has caught five touchdown passes through four games, becoming the first Maryland player to achieve the feat since Torrey Smith in He is the first Maryland player in the last 35 years to catch a touchdown in each of the first four games to open the season. His six total touchdowns through four games is the most for a Terrapin receiver since Jermaine Lewis had six touchdowns in Junior running back Ty Johnson turned his eighth career 100-yard rushing game, and fifth in the last six games dating back to 2016, with a 130-yard effort at Minnesota. All eight of his 100-yard games have come in the last 14 games, with five against Big Ten opponents. Johnson capped off his fantastic day against the Gophers with a game-winning 34-yard touchdown run with 1:10 remaining. Philadelphia native DJ Moore caught his 14th career touchdown pass against Minnesota, moving him into a tie with Stefon Diggs ( ) for fourth all-time in Maryland history. He is now chasing Greg Hill ( ) for third on Maryland s career touchdown reception list (see chart below). Wide receiver DJ Moore currently leads Big Ten Conference with a reception in 25 straight games. It is the longest streak for a Maryland player since Torrey Smith finished his career with a 30-game reception streak from Moore currently has 11 touchdown catches over his last 17 games. Career Receiving Touchdown Leaders Standout wide receiver DJ Moore has quickly ascended the Maryland career touchdown list, posting 14 touchdowns through 29 career games. Rk. Name Years CareerTDs 1.

4 By The Numbers ON THE DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS 1 Sophomore Antoine Brooks, Jr., continued his excellent start to the season by forcing the first fumble of his career against Minnesota, storming into the backfield and hitting the Gopher running back. Brooks has been a big play machine in his first season as a full-time starter, ranking second on the team in tackles for loss (3.0) and totaling 14 tackles. The playmaker also had a 71-yard touchdown return on a field goal block against Texas. 2 The Maryland defense notched two interceptions in the win against Minnesota, with Josh Woods catching the first of his career and JC Jackson sealing the victory with less than a minute remaining. The Terps now have five interceptions through four games - most in a four-game stretch to open a season since The Terps rank fourth in the Big Ten Conference with a +0.75/g turnover margin, winning the turnover battle in all three of its victories. Overall, they have totaled five interceptions and forced five fumbles (one lost) against just three interceptions and one forced fumble (zero lost). Last season, the Terps lost the turnover battle, 19-12, over the course of 13 games. 4 Senior Jermaine Carter, Jr. has totaled 4.0 tackles for loss through the first four games, including 2.0 in the win over Texas. Carter now has 27.0 tackles for loss in his career, which ranks tied for 13th in program history with Gurnest Brown ( ) and Demetrius Hartsfield ( ). Carter needs 5.0 more TFLs to crack Maryland s top-10 in the category. 7 Maryland has made a habit of jumping out to fast starts this season, outscoring its opponents 45-7 in the first quarter. In fact, the Terrapin defense has yet to allow a point in the opening frame as the lone touchdown came on a Tyrrell Pigrome pick-6 against Texas in the season-opener. 29 Senior linebacker Jermaine Carter, Jr. currently leads the Terps with 29 tackles on the season and appears poised to lead the team in the category for the third consecutive season. He would be just the fifth Maryland player to achieve the feat since 1969, joining Alex Wujciak ( ), D Qwell Jackson ( ), E.J. Henderson (2002) and Ratcliff Thomas ( ). 51 Graduate transfer Henry Darmstadter came through in the clutch with a career-long 51-yard field goal as time expired in the first half against Minnesota last weekend. Darmstadter, who is Georgetown s all-time kicking leader, had a previous long of 49 yards. It was the longest field goal for a Terps since Brad Craddock hit a 57-yarder against Ohio State in He has made a seamless transition into the lineup, including knocking down a Maryland record nine PATs against Towson in his Terrapin debut. 80 The Maryland rush defense was stout against Minnesota, allowing just 80 yards on the ground in the game. It marked the third time in four games the defense has held its opponent under 100 yards rushing. Last year s defense only held its opponent under 100 yards rushing once in 13 games, allowing 150+yards in 12-of-13. 4

21 DJ DURKIN Head Coach Bowling Green 01 2nd Year at Maryland The Maryland football program undoubtedly made great strides in 2016, its first year under the guidance of Head Coach DJ Durkin. The Terps doubled their win total from the prior season and garnered bowl eligibility in Durkin s first year in College Park. Regarded as one of the brightest young coaching minds in college football, Durkin was named the 36th head football coach in Maryland history on December 2, He quickly changed the culture and brought instant energy to the program. Durkin improved the results on the field as well. The Terps started the 2016 season 4-0 and won five of their first seven games, including a victory over Michigan State. After falling in three straight games to nationally-ranked teams, including a pair of matchups against Top 5 squads, Maryland defeated Rutgers, 31-13, in its season finale to garner bowl eligibility. Durkin guided Maryland to its 27th bowl game all-time when the Terps faced off against Boston College in the 2016 Quick Lane Bowl, which was played at Ford Field in Detroit. Durkin also showed his recruiting prowess by signing a consensus Top 20 class in 2017, which was his first full recruiting cycle. The class, which included 11 4-star signees and five members of the ESPN300, ranked among the best in program history. Durkin was able to land nine of the Top 20 players from the state of Maryland and three of the top nine players from Washington, D.C. Prior to arriving in College Park, Durkin served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of Michigan, leading a nationally-renowned defensive unit that ranked fourth in the country. Under Durkin, the Wolverines limited opponents to 17.2 points per game in 2015, in addition to shutting out three consecutive opponents the longest such streak at Michigan in 35 years. Durkin was an outstanding recruiter in his time as an assistant. While at the University of Florida, Durkin helped land four straight top-11 recruiting classes and was named Rivals.com s 2012 Recruiter of the Year as a result. In total, Durkin contributed to the impressive recruitment of nine 5-star prospects on the defensive side during that stretch. Durkin s immediate impact in Ann Arbor was also displayed in player development. Michigan had nine defensive All-Big Ten honorees, including a pair of first team defensive backs: Jourdan Lewis and Jabril Peppers. In addition, three Wolverines (Ryan Glasgow, Lewis and Peppers,) were named semifinalists for national defensive awards in As the defensive coordinator at Florida from , Durkin led the Gators to consecutive top-15 rankings in total defense with the 15th-best mark in the country in 2014 (329.0 ypg) and the eighth-best (314.2 ypg) in Florida s 2014 team finished the year ranked in the top-10 in the nation in yards allowed per play (4.45), yards allowed per rush attempt (3.16) and yards allowed per pass attempt (5.9). The group was highlighted by All-SEC first team selections Dante Fowler Jr., and defensive back Vernon Hargreaves, along with second-team all-conference honoree Antonio Morrison. Fowler was subsequently selected third overall in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. His selection continued a stretch in which Gator defensive players were selected in the first round of three consecutive drafts. In Durkin s first season as defensive coordinator, Florida finished first in the SEC and seventh in the country in pass defense (171.8 yards per game), sixth in first downs allowed (16.1 per game) and 15th in scoring defense (21.1 points per game), while allowing only 27 touchdowns, the sixth fewest in the nation in Durkin s coaching paid dividends at the next level when defensive tackle Dominique Easley was drafted by the New England Patriots in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. From , Durkin served as special team coordinator and linebackers coach at Florida and coached under current Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn. Once again, Durkin was a key contributor of a staff that helped produce an NFL first round pick when defensive tackle Shariff Floyd was taken in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. As linebackers coach, Durkin tutored Jon Bostic, who finished his career as a second-team All-SEC selection and was drafted in the second round of the NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears in Durkin s coaching on special teams helped produce punter Chas Henry, the winner of the Ray Guy Award in 2011, and kicker Caleb Sturgis, a two-time finalist for the Lou Groza Award who now plays for the Philadelphia Eagles. Under Durkin s tutelage, Stanford s defensive ends helped the Cardinal rank 11th nationally in sacks per game in 2007 and At Stanford, Durkin helped the Cardinal bring in their highest ranked recruiting class in eight years in As a graduate assistant at Notre Dame from , Durkin worked primarily with defensive ends and helped develop Notre Dame all-time sack leader, All-Pro NFL defensive end and two-time Super Bowl champion Justin Tuck.
