Is This The Best OSU Team Ever?

I echo the concern people have about special teams. Just in the tun game alone the past couple years we've seen the gamut of special teams miscues---missed easy field goals, an inability to pin people deep with punts and/or flip the field, Henderson muffing that kickoff and the drive starts at the 5 yard line, etc. All that combined with basically never making a big play.

Yep that team is on my list. Lost 1 game on a last second field goal, in a game where Zeke only got 12 touches. I can still see JT running in sand....

And in horrific weather. Hrs the most miserable I have ever been at a game.

Not yet. They win eight more games, then yes.

That's the thing though, the path to victory against 2019 was so insanely narrow. Think about what needed to happen for Clemson to eke out that win. Fields came into that game injured, OSU had a collective off day in terms of execution, Dobbins gets injured, OSU lost the turnover battle 2-0, AND there was blatant ref fuckery that took what would've been the game winning score off the board. This is against a loaded Clemson squad mind you. It basically took an act of God to hand 2019 their only loss.

The path to victory against 2025 isn't nearly as narrow. Sayin having an off day, special teams fuckery or multiple awful turnovers would probably enough to cost the team.

Totally agreed.

The thing is even if we get past Clemson. Many forget that JK was injured so the likelihood if him playing or being 100% wasn’t great. Personally I doubt we win that matchup vs LSU for that reason.

That said, we should stomped Clemson. Had we executed in the red zone early we would’ve made them quit.

Just for the sake of argument, only one Buckeye team can claim a perfect record and a Natty. And what heart. 2002.

This is the best OSU team in history by at least 3 TDs.
Unless they lose a game, in which case, they are dead to me.

2012 got the major screw.

1954? 1968?

1954? 1968?

Yep, but both won by votes, not a NCG. Loved the 54 team with Cassidy, Parker, Tad Weed, and guy who went on to be a great defensive coach in the NFL, but whose name refuses to be sent from my brain to my typing finger. The 68 team should have won three Nattys.
