Malik Hartford Plays Only Defensive Snap Among Freshmen As Seven Total Freshmen Play in The Game

Three straight losses. Welcome to hell.

For the third straight season, The Game did not end with an Ohio State victory. The third consecutive freshman class has tasted the agony of defeat in the season's biggest game.

This year, the Buckeyes lost 30-24 in Ann Arbor. With a Big Ten East title and a berth to the Big Ten championship game on the line, Ryan Day only played seven of Ohio State's true freshmen, with six of them playing only on special teams.

Malik Hartford was on the field for one defensive snap. That play?
