Ohio State's pass defense, ranked No. 5 in the nation, faces a legit test Saturday versus Maryland's Taulia Tagovailoa.
The phenomenon of Ohio State only facing undefeated teams marches on Saturday as Ohio State welcomes the 5-0 Maryland Terrapins to the Shoe for a Big Noon banger.
In fact, the 2023 Buckeyes are on pace to post their best pass defense metrics since the elite 2019 team ranked No. 1 in passing yards allowed per game and passing yards per attempt allowed while posting the 3rd-best completion rate allowed. Indiana's passing attack, ranked No. 80 in the land, is averaging 224 yards per game but managed only 82 versus the Buckeyes. Western Kentucky stands No. 26 in the country with 286 passing yards per game but Ohio State held it to 204. Versus Notre Dame's 44th-ranked passing attack, the Buckeyes held Sam Hartman to 175 yards versus the Irish's average of 269 yards per game.
And the Buckeyes have done that without a consistent pass rush thus far. The eye test thinks the pressure has been a little better than the numbers suggest but there'sroom for more improved production. Statistically, Ohio State slots a dreadful No. 119 out of 133 FBS teams in sacks per game at 1.25 and No. 126 in sack yardage . Yeah, that's not going to cut it long term.
