Leading 3-0 and riding a no-hitter into the fifth inning, the Buckeyes lost that lead and another in the eighth on their way to another frustrating loss to Maryland.
There was so much to be impressed with in Saturday's 'spring game'...running back Evan Pryor, tight end Joe Royer, and the defensive line and secondary. What caught the eye of head coach Ryan Day was the physical play on both sides of the ball.
They came back from an early deficit, took a late lead, then saw it go 'poof' as a three-run homer by Maryland in the bottom of the ninth sets off a Terrapin celebration (below) and adds to the Buckeyes' miseries.
CJ Stroud will see limited time, and his backups at quarterback will receive plenty of snaps to get more experience during Saturday's spring game at Ohio Stadium. Mark Znidar previews Saturday's sneak preview.
It will be offense versus defense rather than the traditional separate Scarlet & Gray teams. The goal is for players on both sides of the ball to get in as many repetitions as possible going into the opener against Notre Dame.
