No. 1 Ohio State struggles then shakes off Maryland

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer doesn't mind talking about his No. 1 team, flawed as some believe it is. However, he could do without the never-ending discussion around his two quarterbacks. "I'm exhausted from it," he said. It's not going to stop. Meyer used Cardale Jones to start drives and J.T. Barrett to finish them as Ohio State -- still unbeaten and mostly underwhelming -- shook off Maryland in the second half for a 49-28 win on Saturday. Jones threw two touchdown passes, Barrett scored three times and the top-ranked Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten), who haven't met enormous expectations this season, scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to put away the Terrapins in what may have been Maryland coach Randy Edsall's final game. Ezekiel Elliott had two short TD runs, Joey Bosa recorded a sack and several pressures and the Buckeyes extended the nation's longest winning streak to 19.
