It’s been mentioned numerous times how much this years team is similar to 2014 and the 2017 Buckeyes who both lost game 2 at home and both fought hard to beat PSU (each being the last game in October, like tonight).

2014 OSU followed up the PSU close win with a beat down of Illinois.

2017 OSU followed up JTB’s best game as a Buckeye with perhaps his worst, and lost to Iowa badly. 

We did a lot to shoot ourselves in the foot tonight and still won. Hopefully, this humbles and focuses this team for the November stretch.

Let’s hope this team is more like 2014 than 2017.  This young team is talented and fun to watch grow.
