COLUMBUS, Ohio — No. 2 Ohio State was not messing around on Saturday night. The Buckeyes hosted Western Michigan in primetime and played as well as could be expected under the lights at Ohio Stadium, beating the Broncos 56-0. After head coach Ryan Day said there was room for improvement in all facets in the season-opening 52-6 win against Akron, there is little to be frustrated about from this performance. The Scarlet and Gray offense scored early and often. The defense once again was dominant, flying all over the field and delivering big hits. When the starters came out of the game in the second half, the backups kept their foot on the gas, playing as if the score was 0-0.

Maryland State

College Park, MD

In recent years, Maryland football's problem has been a habit of getting off to hot starts by beating the teams it's supposed to beat, then hitting the second-half funk, dropping a coinflip sort of game here and there, then failing to pull out upset wins as the schedule got tougher.

Why it matters: This figure is notably higher than the national average of 23.2%, with Oxfam suggesting that North Carolina’s decision not to raise its minimum wage has contributed to the disparity.
