Friday evening at roughly 8 p.m. ET was likely a tense time for most Ohio State fans. Hearing the narrative over and over again: about last year’s loss to Clemson, the heartbreak, the insurmountable odds to get back to the same spot and, worst of all, the insurmountable odds the ill-equipped Buckeyes would face that evening against a team which had proven itself to be far and above among the best two teams in college football in 2020.
Yes, the announcers and the analysts and everyone on Twitter had a lot to say about the Buckeyes and their chances Friday night — tales of almost losing to Northwestern, as though the Wildcats are a bad team.
