Ohio State's season ended with a 24–14 loss to Miami in the Cotton Bowl, and the problems that finally broke the Buckeyes weren't new. In this postmortem episode, we break down how offensive line issues that lingered all season finally collapsed under pressure, why Julian Sayin was never schemed away from Miami's pass rush, and how Ryan Day's possession-limiting philosophy left no margin for error. We analyze the missed blocking assignment that led to the pick six, the lack of early run-game commitment, special teams failures that resurfaced at the worst time, and why the defense was put in an impossible spot late. The issues were always there — Saturday just exposed them.
