For one of the greatest, most storied college football programs of all time, Ohio State definitely has an... interesting bowl record. It seems odd that a team that has thrived on consistency throughout its existence would stumble time and time again when it comes to exhibition games played in areas with more old people and talc-y sand than angry drunk high school dropouts filed with cheese and road salt, but that's generally been the case.
Today I want to offer up at least a partial explanation for the above: Ohio State, at virtually every stop along the way, has never had a coach that can consistently pull the team together after a tough end to the season.
