Ohio State allowed 87 points over its final two games.
Twice in a row, actually. The last time the Buckeyes completed a full football season without allowing 87 points over its final two games we were still inhabiting a pre-pandemic world. We’ve got ourselves an impossibly lousy streak.
The last time we experienced three* consecutive off-seasons without a single fresh Gold Pants memory, Michigan was college football's reigning national champion*. No one who will be wearing a helmet in Ohio Stadium this fall was close to being conceived yet.
So it's been a minute since our breath smelled this bad for this long.
