Overall, the Eleven Warriors community selected the correct answer for 7 out of 10 questions. On three questions, the incorrect answer received more votes than the correct answer.
- 54% incorrectly selected Steve Bellisari as the starting quarterback in the home night game against UCLA in 1999.
- 34% went with Barry and Babs as the names of UCLA's mascots.
- 48% believed Frank Epitropoulos was a linebacker on Urban Meyer's 2012 and 2013 teams.
The UCLA quiz proved more difficult for those who participated than the Bruins were for the Buckeyes on the field. With only 7% of the responses correctly identifying Austin Moherman as Ohio State's starting quarterback in 1999, that question ranks as the most difficult in the history of this series.
By getting seven out of ten questions correct last week, the community's overall score for the season is 94 out of 100 correct for an average of 94%.
