We lost a close one to Ohio in 1975 when we failed, repeatedly, to punch it in at the goal line. It was more than a loss - it threatened to move the balance of power, and drained our confidence for a year. 1976 was a revenge tour long before Wino coined the phrase. When Russell Davis (picking ‘em up and laying ‘em down”) carried 3 Buckeyes into the end zone, the spell was broken. We would score again, but the 22-0 final was authored by a suffocating defense, highlighted by a MLB flying from sideline to sideline for 4 quarters.

It happened before. It can happen again.
