Thoughts on refocusing after losing

Sep. 17—Legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi is often quoted as saying, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."

While Lombardi is the person most often associated with that quote, former UCLA football coach Henry Sanders said it several years before him.

Whoever said it, those words capture the drive to always win that great coaches and great athletes have.

But nobody wins them all. Oregon's 35-28 win over Ohio State last Saturday was a painful reminder of that for the Buckeyes.

It was Ohio State's first regular-season loss with Ryan Day as coach and its first loss at home since 2017.
