Back when Maryland seemed like it could maybe possibly step up and upset No. 1 Ohio State, some Terrapins on the sideline were saying not-so-nice things about the ballyhooed Buckeyes on the sidelines, according to Big Ten Network.

It would probably be better to be "spoiled," "entitled," and "not No. 1" while also moving to 6-0 on the year, staying firmly in the mix to make the College Football Playoff, and quite possibly retaining that No. 1 ranking, all things that Ohio State pulling away late against the Terps ensured.

But moribund Maryland — a team that had reports of a likely firing of head coach Randy Edsall leak on Thursday — was not a team anyone predicted would even push Ohio State briefly, much less into the second half. And yet, for about three quarters, that's what the Terps did. So maybe those guys on the sideline were at least partly right.
