Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

I just unearthed this gem....


The above was posted in the 2014 Virginia Tech game thread. Urban had lost the 2013 Big Ten Championship Game (to Michigan State), the 2014 Orange Bowl (to Clemson), and the 2014 marquee out-of-conference contest (to Virginia Tech).

Similarly, after a 16-game winning streak, Ryan Day is now 1-3 in his last four games, having lost the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game (to Indiana), the 2025 Cotton Bowl (to Miami), and the 2026 marquee out-of-conference contest (to Texas).

Of course, Urban Meyer quickly righted the ship in 2014 and won the title (and beat scUM) despite my writing off the season in week two.

Can Ryan Day do the same in 2026?
Excellent post. After my several not-to-kind posts about the game's result, this post has got my head back on straight. The only real tough game from here to The Game is at Indiana. The games at Iowa and USC and Indiana will be tough, but if we win those (or even drop a close one at Indiana), we should be 11-1 (9-0)/10-2 (8-1) at the end of the regular season (I'm not worried about the Oregon and scUM games in The Shoe).

I never even count that loss to Bama. Anybody in their right mind knew the Bucks weren't beating what was probably Saban's best team at Bama when they went in down 20 players to Covid and then losing the best offensive player on the first play of the game. If the Bucks had played something resembling a full schedule that year like Bama did, and weren't decimated by Covid it would have been a better game, but I still don't think they were beating Bama that year. That whole season was geared towards getting revenge on Clemson, and they accomplished that.
I think the only thing you can ding Day on for Bama is his hiring of Coombs as DC which was a disaster. Bama's O was nasty, but we also didn't help with awful play calling that allowed Tuf Borland to be in coverage 1-on-1 with Devonta Smith

Would love it honestly. We all crown Howard now because he was unconscious during the playoffs but prior to that everyone was questioning him. And Howard was a fifth year senior with a ton of starts under his belt. He’ll be fine.

I’ve thought the same thing. Howard was good not great and then he was great. Just keep getting reps and gain trust in the whole WR room. Good things will happen.

Frustrating loss.

But, let's not kid ourselves, that pick was not Ohio State skill beating Texas. Indeed, that should have been 6.

That said, its just mind-boggling... despite all that went wrong Ohio State could have nonetheless eked out victory. 4th and 8. 4th and 6. Misfire to McGuin. Missed fg. It was a literal comedy of wtf.

Going for it on 4th and failing early in the game. I had no problem with the call at the time. Chip shot FG would have been enough. I wonder. Left points on the field against Indiana the same way.
