Will they consider the overall performance, the strength of the schedule, and the thin margin of loss in this rivalry game?
A Rallying Cry
It’s time for some soul-searching and regrouping. Ohio State can’t afford to dwell on the past. The focus must be on the future, on what can be controlled. It’s about rallying as a team, learning from mistakes, and being ready if that playoff call comes.
