Another game, another halftime deficit.
Ohio State has played eight games against Power Five opponents this season. The Buckeyes have trailed at halftime in all eight of those games.
In some of those games, the opponent has simply been better than OSU. But the biggest concern is Ohio State's mentality and intensity to start games. The Buckeyes are now 4-4 in those games, but they’ve had to come back from second-half deficits to pull out the victory in all four wins. In the win over Notre Dame, Ohio State trailed by 11 just over 11 minutes into the game.
