For the first time in five years, Ohio State did not win the Big Ten last season. Even with a superstar quarterback in C.J. Stroud and the arguable best receiving corps in college football with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave — a prolific Buckeyes squad fell just short.
They, of course, fell to Michigan and Jim Harbaugh — who captured their first Big Ten title in almost two decades by walloping the Buckeyes in “The Game” last fall. But, even with the departures of Wilson and Olave, the Buckeyes are still a loaded squad in 2022. And you can bet your bottom dollar there’s still a bitter taste in their mouth after losing the conference to their rival.
