Ah, an old favorite! "A win that feels like a loss," I've missed you! You're a part of our collective fan consciousness because damn: if Ohio State isn't winning every game by 30, that means the team has fallen into ruin and Ohio State football will never win anything of significance ever again.
I guess I shouldn't try to handwave away the very real issues on the offensive line, but also I can't help but feel a little nostalgic flashing back to "wins" like San Diego State and Bowling Green in 2003, San Diego State again in 2005, Illinois in 2006, Akron in 2007, Ohio in 2008, Illinois again in 2010, Northern Illinois in 2015, Maryland in 2018, and Nebraska in 2021.
