The Ohio State football program looked like a program in crisis after losing to Michigan last season. It was the fourth straight loss to TTUN, and it was to the worst Michigan team since 2020. Quite frankly, it was an embarrassing loss that almost tanked an incredible season.
Instead, it was a rallying point for the Ohio State Buckeyes. They had a meeting in the locker room after the game that has been well-documented. Grievances were aired about how and why they lost that game, and players were very critical of Ryan Day and his game plan.
