When did OSU get fucked out of the playoffs? Getting blown out by shitty teams has consequences.
Since Alabama had their fat Alabama asses handed to them by the Buckeyes with a third string quarterback’s first start in the first playoff series ever, I must remind you that The Ohio State Buckeyes lost to a shitty team VaTech that season too.
But guess what? They won the Championship.
Last year the Buckeyes slaughtered the number one ranked defense in the nation and its arch rival to win the B1G. For me at least that last Saturday of the regular season wiped out the humiliating loss at Purdue. The weakness last year for the Buckeyes was entirely on the defensive side. But the Purdue loss was an offense and defense failure.
The Buckeyes scored a mere six points during the first three quarters of the Purdue game. The defense was typical but the offense was an aberration.
I think if Ohio State had shut down Michigan’s offense creating a 70 to 3 rout or so, not only wouid they have had a better chance of proving that both sides of the ball peaked just before the playoffs, but it wouid have humiliated the overgrown rats up north even more.
But they didnt, so I am content to wait and hope for a rematch of the Buckeyes against Alabama in the playoffs. Two OSU wins over the rolled tide will make this a most fantastic BUCKEYE decade.
