Tua’s younger brother leads undefeated Maryland into Ohio State Saturday.

4for4

5-0 Maryland at undefeated Ohio State.
Just an FYI for those who didn’t know and don’t follow college football but know his older brother.

Yep we were talking about this at work. The concensus is that Ohio State will win but not in your typical cupcake slaughter way

Checked his passing stats and he’s right up there with the best, but I guess Marylands defense is weak as usual. They do score points though, but so did Colorado until they played Oregon.

Has the makings of an interesting game.

The MD head coach, Mike Locksley, was the Illinois offensive coordinator when the Illini upset #1 OSU 28-21 at Columbus.

This should be an exciting game. MD needs ball control and no bonehead turnovers/penalties to win. Should be exciting unless the MD defense spends too much time on the field.

Maryland has played some of the worst teams in the country to this point. It hurts them that OSU has had 2 weeks to prepare, but if they ever were going to beat OSU this would be the year with how bad McCord has played so far

Um, last time I checked a few days ago McCord is in the top ten in odds to win the heisman.

As for Maryland, good luck. The most points the Buckeyes defense has givin up in a game this year is 14.

McCord isnt even close to Heisman talk. Vegas is happy to milk money from OSU fans though giving him a +4000 odd to win which means they know he isnt relevant.

Maryland is a better team than Indiana and McCord couldnt do anything against Indiana so yes it is possible.

Nah, McCord won the game against ND. I guess you didnt watch the 4th quarter. You cant hide your hatred for the Buckeyes.

Wouldn’t you say it would be very surprising for OSU not to win this home game by at least 10 ?

Maryland has to play a perfect game- ball control drives that go 6 minutes- time of possession in their favor at 35-36 minutes and penalties that total less than a total of 40 yards- none of which are committed defense that extend an OSU drive on third down. If they are successful with this, it should be a great game- if not phone it in midway through the third quarter

I’m not watching it but 140 yards to 28 and a 10-0 score but it’s early.

Is this kid a lefty like his brother?
Is he NFL material?

I did watch the game, I'm just objective about things and go off of stats and facts

4for4

10-10 now. Huge interception.
Sorry I’m missing it.

4for4

Missing that great OU UT game too.

It was like watching two different games - 1st half compared to the second half.

Tua is right handed. The father forced him to throw lefty. The father also beat him over his grades and football performances. That including getting the belt after multiple TD games with no incompletions, if he threw one interception.
