It has been a long time since the Ohio State football program was bludgeoned in the desert in January 2007. That Buckeye team was ranked No. 1 all season and steamrolled through the regular season. It finished with an epic 42-39 victory over Michigan in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup that seemed the prelude to a national title.
It wasn’t meant to be though. A long layoff, a very hungry Florida squad coached by Urban Meyer, and maybe a little complacency led to a Gators romp, 41-14.
