It is Throwback Thursday once again, where we compare Maryland's starters as recruits with each week's opponents. This week it is Ohio State.

It is pretty crazy looking at Ohio State's starting lineup and how highly ranked they are were in high school.

6 of their starters were Rivals five-stars.

15 of their 22 starters were in the Rivals250.

All but three of their starters were rated a four-star or higher. That is just insane.

Seems hard to fathom that Stanford is one of only 4 teams left in their conference. Why isn't their move to the B!G a done deal? Would they really go Independent?

Here are your snap counts and PFF grades from Saturday's win over the Hoosiers. A few observations....the Terps tackled well once again. This has been a very sure tackling team for the most part.

Mike Purcell started and got the bulk of the snaps at center. Just when you think they have the o-line all settled, they don't.

No Colby McDonald after he looked good the previous two games.

Full snap counts and grades at the link below.
