The two programs first met on Oct. 4, 2004, in the Terrapins' first season in the Big Ten. Ohio State, led by head coach Urban Meyer, went on the road to College Park and won the game 52-24. A season in which Ohio State ultimately ended up winning the national championship.

victory, which was the most lopsided win of the series.
