Denzel Burke didn’t get over Ohio State’s loss to Michigan until last week.
The star cornerback, like many of his teammates, took the 30-24 defeat at the hands of the Wolverines hard. He had to take his mind off things with video games – Call of Duty, Fortnite and Madden were among his go-to's – and other distractions just to process the fact that the Buckeyes wouldn’t be competing in the College Football Playoff.
“It’s horrible. It’s just ass,” Burke said. “We didn’t get the job done, but we’re just looking forward to finishing this season strong and finishing on a good note so that we can have momentum going into the 2024 season.
