4 huge losses by Day over the last 4 years because of missed field goals. Not to mention going for it on 4th instead of just kicking it.

Also huge props to Texas for putting up 3 touchdowns in that second half. They could have easily folded but just kept working. They finally converted 4ths and RedZone when it mattered most.

I’m still a fan of Day, but these losses still sting.

hell of a lot better than Urban when we would randomly get obliterated by shit tier teams

i don't get the Day hate, losing by 1 or 2 against teams like Texas and Georgia isn't really a big deal to me. It happens. We lost by 1 to Oregon and then gave them an ass whipping later the same year.

Urban's losses were far more egregious.

They mattered a lot more when only 4 teams made the playoff. College football used to be a little bit cooler.

Now if a top 5 loses to a top 5, it doesn’t even matter unless that team loses two more games.

OSU can still lose to Indiana or USC and make the playoff. Texas could have lost tonight and lost to LSU or aTm and still be in.

Takes some of the meaning out of the win, but takes some sting out of the loss.

but takes some sting out of the loss.

I have never been able to get too upset about losing to another top ranked blue blood. There's no shame in it

TTUN is different, I'd hate them even if they were the losingest team ever.

But for all the other blue bloods? No shame in hard fought games with them. Those matchups should never be easy

Everyone but OSU cheats and every loss they’ve ever had was rigged.
