5,467 days later: Key numbers as Ohio State loses back-to-back games
No. 13 Oregon's 41-28 dismantling of Ohio State on Saturday likely pushed the Buckeyes out of the College Football Playoff race -- and into uncharted territory.
Ohio State has lost two straight regular-season games for the first time since November 2011. No. 20 USC defeated Ohio State 30-18 on the road last week. Heading into Saturday, the Buckeyes had always bounced back in the regular season after a defeat.
They had another opportunity earlier in the season, after losing 24-23 at Texas in Week 2. Ohio State responded with a dominant 59-3 win over Kent State in the following game.
