The Game

In 126 seasons of football, the Buckeyes have lost to the Spartans and the rivals in the equivalent season only twice. State those years. ~Hovenaut

This will be the Ohio State 44th time the Buckeyes have played Michigan State and That Team in the same season. In the previous 43 seasons Ohio State has lost to both opponents seven times in the same year (.163). Below is a breakdown of those horrible seasons.
