The Ohio State Buckeyes (10-2) will be looking to bounce back from that awful loss to the Michigan Wolverines with a win over the Utah Utes (10-3) in the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
This game isn’t completely meaningless, because Ohio State needs to win to get the Michigan loss out of its mouth and head into 2022 with a positive outlook, but even with a win, we have to be realistic that this season wasn’t quite what anyone had hoped for.
I do not blame the four Buckeyes who decided to opt out and prepare for their NFL future, and honestly, them sitting out is a good thing for the youthful talent Ohio State has. The Buckeyes won’t have Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave next season and we should see what the young bucks at receiver can do. Any extra reps is a positive. Anyway, it should be a good one.
