A common saying is “the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.” At times this season, it has seemed that this was actually the Ohio State mantra. After getting their collective soul cleansed by an old-fashioned butt-whooping at Purdue, the Buckeyes have…
I’ve mentioned it before, I like predicting stuff. It’s fun. Hit on a couple of guesses, ignore those that you whiffed on, and you’re feeling like a million bucks.

There are certain mistakes a football team can make that are nearly always fatal. Victory just doesn’t follow when you make them. The Buckeyes made nearly every kind of that sort of mistake in the first half against Maryland, with special teams being a prime culprit. Ohio State allowed a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown…
