Ohio State’s 12 missed chances to save the Texas game in the second half
AUSTIN, Texas — Ohio State led Texas 20-3 at the half Saturday night and lost 24-23. What could the Buckeyes have done to prevent their 20-point collapse?
It might hurt to see how many chances Ohio State had to put the Longhorns away last Saturday, but I think this is a great breakdown by Doug showing exactly what the Buckeyes did (or didn’t do) to give Texas a chance to come back and win the game.
