What Went Wrong: Dissecting Ohio State's Stunning Upset Loss to Miami

The defending national champions' repeat dreams are over.

Join the Buckeye Backers crew as we break down the painful loss: Julian Sayin's struggles under pressure, the defense's uncharacteristic bend, Ryan Day's postgame comments, key turning points like the 14-0 halftime hole, and what this upset means for the offseason. Raw reactions and a look ahead to 2026 — because Scarlet and Gray nation processes together. O-H... still. #GoBucks
