Ohio State has now played 32 quarters of football this season. It has lost two.
They were the 2nd and 4th quarters of the Florida Atlantic home opener, when the Buckeyes went extremely basic on both sides of the ball with the game out of hand. At the time, we weren't quite sure what to make of it. Lane Kiffin had held serve. Well, kind of.
It was the final day of August, and memories from a mostly unenjoyable 13-1 championship season were still lingering. The Buckeyes flattened the Owls over the first 15 minutes, then let them off the mat for the rest of the afternoon sending many of us into an aw man, not this shit again self loathing.
