How many times have we heard Ryan Day talk about how tough this Ohio State team is? For me, I feel like I see something about it every day. It may be a tad bit overdone, especially with the Lou Holtz situation, but honestly, this toughness could be the difference between making it to the national championship or not.
There have been three different instances this year where the Buckeyes have either been tied or have a one possession lead over their opponents after the first half. In the first game of the season, they only led 10-3 at halftime against Indiana, a game where the Bucks were 30-point favorites.
