The Monday After: Analyzing what went wrong in Buckeyes rivalry unraveling
COLUMBUS — Ohio State had a major chance to prove last year’s loss to Michigan was just a one-year blip in rivalry dominance.
Instead, it served as a harsh reminder that the Wolverines are the current aggressor in the rivalry.
Ohio State fell apart in the second half of its blowout loss to Michigan on Saturday, the largest home loss to the Wolverines since 1976.
Lettermen Row was in the Horseshoe to break down the loss to Michigan on Saturday, and now it’s back inside the Horseshoe to re-examine everything it learned from the rivalry game — and what exactly went so wrong so quickly in the second half of that game.
How were the Buckeyes blown out at home in the biggest game of the year? What can we learn from Ohio State as it tries to recover? Can the Buckeyes still make the College Football Playoff after that humbling loss?
