The Scoreboard: How Ohio State Commits Performed Nov. 24-25
COLUMBUS — Ohio State failed to win the only game on its schedule it had trained an entire year for. The Buckeyes made the three-hour bus ride to Ann Arbor and left with a 30-24 loss against Michigan.
Ohio State’s playoff fate and hopes hang in the balance of several outcomes that need to go its way. All could have been avoided if the Buckeyes had simply won.
Future Buckeyes, however, took care of business last week and Lettermen Row looks at how the remaining Ohio State commits performed last week.
