It’s not going out on a limb to say that apathy will pervade parts of Ohio State’s fanbase after a third straight loss and 12th straight loss on the road for the Buckeyes.
Especially when it comes against your archrival who was on a five-game losing streak and entered the contest 6-10 overall.
Also especially when that fanbase has fresh memories from a streak of losing 15 of 16 games in 2022-23, or when that fanbase has white-hot opinions about whether its head coach is the right man to lead the program forward.
Whether it feels otherwise or not, the 2023-24 season is not lost.
