A Look at Ohio State in Big Games Since 1969

Some of you want to highlight Ryan Day's 2-7 record versus top-5 opponents. It would be relatively easy to "defend" Day's performance in most of those games, but I'm not his defense attorney. Instead, I want to take a look at how some previous Buckeye head coaches fared in big (and little) games:

Woody Hayes

In his last ten seasons, Hayes had six legitimate chances to win national championships and blew all six of them. He posted a losing record against Michigan (4-5-1) including dropping his final three Games; and in bowl games (2-6); and against top-5 competition (4-8-2, going 0-4-1 in his last five attempts). In addition, Hayes lost three games as the #1 ranked team in the country, once to an unranked opponent (Michigan State, 1974); and lost two games as the #2 ranked team, once to an unranked opponent (Missouri, 1976).

1969: #1 Ohio State loses to #12 Michigan, costing the Buckeyes the consensus national championship
1970: #5 Ohio State defeats #4 Michigan
1970: #2 Ohio State loses to #12 Stanford in the Rose Bowl, costing the Buckeyes the AP national title
1971: Ohio State loses 4 games, including to #3 Michigan, to finish the season unranked
1972: #5 Ohio State loses to unranked Michigan State
1972: #9 Ohio State beats #3 Michigan
1972: #3 Ohio State gets blown out by #1 USC in the Rose Bowl, 42-17, costing the Buckeyes a national championship
1973: #1 Ohio State ties #4 Michigan
1973: #4 Ohio State beats #7 USC in the Rose Bowl to finish second in the AP Poll
1974: #1 Ohio State loses to unranked Michigan State
1974: #3 Ohio State beats #2 Michigan
1974: #3 Ohio State loses to #5 USC in the Rose Bowl, costing the Buckeyes the UPI (coaches) national title
1975: #1 Ohio State beats #4 Michigan
1975: #1 Ohio State loses to UCLA in the Rose Bowl, costing the Buckeyes the consensus national championship
1976: #2 Ohio State loses to unranked Missouri
1976: #8 Ohio State ties #4 UCLA
1976: #8 Ohio State loses to #4 Michigan, 22-0
1976: #11 Ohio State beats #12 Colorado in the Orange Bowl
1977: #4 Ohio State loses to #3 Oklahoma
1977: #4 Ohio State loses to #5 Michigan
1977: #9 Ohio State gets blown out by #3 Alabama, 35-6, in the Sugar Bowl
1978: #6 Ohio State loses to #5 Penn State, 19-0
1978: #14 Ohio State ties unranked SMU
1978: #16 Ohio loses to unranked Purdue
1978: #16 Ohio State loses to #6 Michigan
1978: #20 Ohio State loses to #7 Clemson in the Gator Bowl; Hayes punches an opposing player, gets fired the next morning

Earle Bruce

Bruce had one noteworthy season, 1979, his first in Columbus when he went 11-1 as Woody's replacement. In his remaining 8 seasons, Bruce compiled an uninspiring record of 70-31-1. Overall, Bruce had a record of 5-4 against Michigan; 5-3 in bowl games (but 0-2 in the Rose Bowl); and 1-3-1 against top-5 teams (his only win coming against #1 Iowa in 1985). In 1984, Bruce's #2 Buckeyes lost to unranked Purdue.

1979: #2 Ohio State beats #13 Michigan
1979: #1 Ohio State loses to #3 USC in the Rose Bowl, costing the Buckeyes a consensus national championship
1983: #6 Ohio State loses to #2 Oklahoma
1984: #2 Ohio State loses to unranked Purdue
1984: #6 Ohio State loses to #18 USC in the Rose Bowl
1985: #8 Ohio State beats #1 Iowa
1986: #9 Ohio State loses to #5 Alabama
1987: #7 Ohio State ties #4 LSU

John Cooper

I will spare you the details and give you just a synopsis of of the Cooper Era: 2-10-1 versus Michigan; 3-8 in bowl games (but with two of those wins coming in "BCS" bowls); and 2-8 against top-5 opponents (with both wins coming in 1996, against #3 PSU and #2 ASU). Cooper never won a national championship but twice finished #2 in the polls (1996 and 1998).

Jim Tressel

Tressel is beloved by Buckeye fans for his 2002 national championship, his excellent record against Michigan (9-1), and his decent showing in bowl games (6-4, but just 1-2 in national championship contests). Against top-5 competition, Tressel compiled a record of 4-7; he lost his final six games against top-5 opponents, with his last win coming in the epic 2006 Game versus Michigan. Four times Tressel lost a game as the #1 ranked team in the country, twice in national championship games (2006 and 2007); once to #18 Wisconsin (2010); and once to unranked Illinois (2007). Tressel's worst loss came in 2009 when his #7 Buckeyes lost to an unranked Purdue team that finished the season with a record of 5-7. Tressel was fired after the 2010 season (all wins vacated) for lying to the NCAA.

2002: #2 Ohio State beats #1 Miami to win the national championship
2003: #4 Ohio State loses to #5 Michigan
2005: #4 Ohio State loses to #2 Texas
2005: #4 Ohio State beats #5 Notre Dame
2006: #1 Ohio State beats #2 Texas

2006: #1 Ohio State loses to #2 Florida, costing the Buckeyes the national championship
2007: #1 Ohio State loses to unranked Illinois
2007: #1 Ohio State loses to #2 LSU, costing the Buckeyes the national championship
2008: #5 Ohio State loses to #1 USC by the score of 35-3
2008: #10 Ohio State loses to #3 Penn State
2008: #10 Ohio State loses to #3 Texas
2009: #9 Ohio State loses to #3 USC
2009: #7 Ohio State loses to unranked Purdue
2010: #1 Ohio State loses to #18 Wisconsin

Interregnum

As the de facto interim head coach, Luke Fickell compiled a record of 6-7 (3-5 in the Big Ten) with losses to Michigan and to Florida in the Gator Bowl; Fickell did not face a top-5 opponent.

Urban Meyer

Urban Meyer was arguably the best head coach in the history of Ohio State football: his overall record was 83-9 (.902 winning percentage), and he was 7-0 versus Michigan, 5-2 in bowl games (2-1 in playoff games), and 6-2 versus top-5 competition, with three Big Ten titles (2014, 2017, 2018) and a national championship (2014). Even with all that success, Meyer had a few unfathomable lopsided losses to unranked teams during his tenure in Columbus: 2014 to Virginia Tech (35-21); 2017 to Iowa (55-24); and 2018 to Purdue (49-20), with the losses to Iowa and Purdue costing Ohio State a spot in the playoffs.

2014: #8 Ohio State loses to unranked Virginia Tech by the score of 35-21
2014: #4 Ohio State beats #1 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl
2014: #4 Ohio State beats #2 Oregon to win the national championship
2016: #2 Ohio State loses to unranked Penn State
2016: #2 Ohio State beats #3 Michigan
2016: #3 Ohio State loses to #2 Clemson by the score of 31-0
2017: #2 Ohio State loses to #5 Oklahoma
2017: #6 Ohio State beats #2 Penn State
2017: #6 Ohio State loses to unranked Iowa by the score of 55-24, costing the Buckeyes a playoff bid
2017: #8 Ohio State beats #4 Wisconsin
2018: #2 Ohio State loses to unranked Purdue by the score of 49-20, costing the Buckeyes a playoff bid
2018: #10 Ohio State beats #4 Michigan

Ryan Day

Despite having an overall record of 61-9, Ryan Day has developed a reputation for losing big games: he is 1-3* versus Michigan; 2-4 in bowl games; and 2-7 versus top-5 competition. However, unlike Urban Meyer and to some extent Jim Tressel, Day doesn't inexplicably lose games that he is supposed to win, with his "worst" loss coming against #12 Oregon in the 2021 season.

2019: #2 Ohio State loses to #3 Clemson
2020: #3 Ohio State beats #2 Clemson
2020: #3 Ohio State loses to #1 Alabama costing the Buckeyes the national championship
2021: #2 Ohio State loses to #5 Michigan*

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Herb Kirkstreit
Sorry @THEWOOD. Our last place team came in and whooped your first place team's ass and took the series. They'll probably fold now that they let something like that happen.

Couple additional observations. After Sal Stewart homered in his first at bat, in his next at bat the White Sox pitcher threw 2 pitches at Stewart's head, the second of which found the mark. Stewart showed great restraint IMO in not beating the life out of him, but in my amateur lip reading skills did notice that he said: "Motherfucker, that's twice." Pitcher got ejected, appropriately.

Hayes' went 1-4 to bring his BA all the way up to 0.140. McClain and Friedl are now trying to catch him.

Maryland star EDGE Zahir Mathis suffers season-ending injury ahead of make-or-break year for Mike Locksley

Entering the season on one of college football's hottest seats, Mike Locksley received some devastating news on Wednesday
www.cbssports.com www.cbssports.com

Locksley's uncertain future at Maryland​

Locksley enters the season on one of the Power Four's hottest seats. After three consecutive bowl victories, Maryland has now suffered through back-to-back 4-8 seasons. Last year, a slew of injuries forced the Terps to throw several freshmen into the starting lineup.

"We feel like the tough times are behind us now, as this inexperienced group has gained real experience -- three games where we lost on the last drive while leading in 11 of the 12 games total," Locksley said last month. "When you think about that with a young team, you think finish. That's what we've spent the last six months talking about."

While Locksley has been given some grace for last year's circumstances, patience has run thin at Maryland -- his contract only runs through the 2027 season.

Locksley's future rests largely on the talented young core he convinced the program to retain. Quarterback Malik Washington is the cornerstone of that group after flashing considerable upside as a freshman. Maryland needs him to make a sophomore leap in a revamped offense under coordinator Clint Trickett.

The Terrapins also need immediate growth from several second-year contributors, especially with Mathis lost for the season. Unseasoned players who were afforded developmental snaps last fall must become weekly answers against a punishing Big Ten schedule.

Locksley kept important pieces from leaving, but that won't outweigh another losing record. Maryland's sophomore class represents his best argument for patience. Now it's up to him to prove the program is still moving forward.

Just sayin': The Turtles have a fairly easy schedule in 2026. Locksley sure gets a real break with that schedule.

Maryland Football Announces Theme Games for 2026 Season


Maryland should beat Rutgers, UCLA, and Purdue. In addition, if they win the 3 OOC games; that puts them at 6 wins. Maybe they can steal another game for a winning record.
