Maryland has absolutely nothing to lose on Saturday as it hosts Ohio State, and the Terps are playing like it. All knotted up at 31-31 in the fourth quarter, they pulled off a perfectly executed fake punt, catching Urban Meyer’s special teams unit asleep at the wheel.

This is far from the first huge highlight of the game for Maryland. The Terps have been taking it to Ohio State since the opening whistle, and Meyer has already suffered a huge sideline meltdown on more than one occasion.
We’re guessing this lapse by his special teams isn’t helping with all that. Oh, and a few plays later, the Terps went up by a touchdown. Ouch.
