Overview/Quick 2023 Recap
The Buckeyes won their first 11 games of the 2023 season without much drama, outside of some hand-wringing that the offense wasn’t quite as explosive as past seasons. Besides barely surviving against the Irish with a touchdown on the game’s final play, and a somewhat close contest against Penn State thanks to the Nittany Lions defense keeping them in check, they mostly beat the pants off everyone else on the schedule.
Once again though, they ran into trouble against Michigan. The Buckeyes lost a heartbreaker to the Wolverines, 30-24, in the Big House to close the regular season.
