atozsports.comDan Lanning makes telling admission on how Ohio State is still impacting his life after beating Oregon in the Rose Bowl
Ohio State and Ryan Day finally got over the hump last season and won a National Championship. Though they lost to Michigan to end the regular season, the Buckeyes went on a historical run to win it all after that.
Wins over Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame were what Ohio State had to accomplish for Day to capture his first title.
That win over Oregon meant a lot to the Buckeyes, even if it was in the quarterfinal. After losing to the Ducks early in the season in their first year with the Big Ten, Ohio State steamrolled the Ducks by a score of 41-21 and even led 31-0 at one point.
Dan Lanning admits that Ohio State loss is still lingering for him
In an appearance on “Bussin’ With The Boys”, Lanning admitted that the loss to the Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl still causes him to lose sleep.
“That medicine, I wake up every night about that medicine. We struggled early on beating Washington when I first started here. We were able to get over that hump. We were able to beat them this past season,” Lanning explained. “Right now, I wake up thinking about that Rose Bowl game. Didn’t do it the way I wanted to do it, so it motivates me. It makes me hungry to go back to work.”
Ohio State was able to really open up their offense and put up 500 yards on Oregon’s defense. The Buckeyes threw a couple of heavy punches early and the Ducks never recovered. Coming into that game, Oregon was 13-0 and riding high as the No. 1 team.
“Ohio State is an unbelievable team, [they are] really well coached. Coach Day did an unbelievable job this year. But they’re gonna have a ton of guys drafted. They’ve had a lot of success, and so have we. We had a lot of guys go on to the next level. There are things that they did in that game that we didn’t prepare our players well for.”
Ohio State knew they couldn’t attack Oregon the same way they did the first time around and they played better on both sides of the ball. If the 2024 season showed anything though, it is that Oregon is going to be a thorn in Ohio State’s side for the foreseeable future.

Couldn't even bother to get the score correct in this tabloid article. Also, nowhere does Pate say they threw the game, and citing Whitlock is the bottom of the barrel. The writer of this dreck should be banned from the internet

Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee football teammates accused of sabotaging CFP game vs Ohio State because of NIL
Nico Iamaleava and his Tennessee teammates have been accused of throwing their College Football Playoff game against Ohio State, a 42-21 loss in Columbus, because they didn’t receive enough in NIL compensation.
CBS Sports’ Josh Pate dropped the bombshell on "Josh Pate's College Football Show.”
“This stuff was happening last December during the playoffs — with this kid included, but not just this kid. They were trying to get more money from Tennessee and other playoff teams before the playoffs. They were trying to leverage playoff participation,” Pate said.
“The explainer was, ‘Our client is being paid X amount of money to participate in 12 games, maybe a 13th if you make the conference championship game. But you guys made the playoff. He should make money money.’ This is the kind of BS that's happening behind the scenes right now.”
Pate’s sentiment is similar to what Jason Whitlock said about Colorado’s players heading into the Alamo Bowl against BYU.
CU players were reportedly given underwhelming gifts for their bowl participation, while some even opted out before the game due to the Buffs “running out of money.”
“They had to do everything on a strict budget. BYU players got amazing gift bags and had an amazing bowl experience. Colorado was on a very strict budget, and the players were frustrated by it,” Whitlock said.
If this is what college football’s postseason has become, more ratings slippage should be expected.
Less and less, the sport is resembling what scholastic athletics were supposed to be.
