There are a lot of terms you could use to describe this team. “Mediocre” is one. So is “lucky.” Another one? “Historic.”
This 2015 team became just the sixth in OSU history to start a season 6-0. The other five came in 1945, 1997, 2008, 2010 and 2011. Strangely, the team last year would have started 6-0 if it would have played Central Michigan and not Florida State in the first game. Only the 1945 and 2011 teams made it to Halloween still undefeated (like OSU will do if it beats Kansas in two weeks).
That’s pretty crazy.
