OSU since 2016

[BostonNit]

Since and including 2016, we had 4th quarter leads against OSU in:

2016 - WON after coming from behind
2017 - Gave up two score lead and lost
2018 - Gave up two score lead and lost
2019 - Did not lead in 4th
2020 - Did not lead in 4th
2021 - Did not lead in 4th
2022 - Gave up lead and lost

Summary:

1 time we came from behind and won
3 times we lost when having a lead
3 times we were not able to come back

Not good.

Glass half full = we lead in 4th quarter against one of the elite teams in the country 4 times in last 7 years.

Glass half empty = moral victories suck.

Better to have led and lost than never to have led at all.

Not really...

Glass 3/4 empty.

We need an new approach. This is not a government entitlement program (Franklin and Cliffy). How about some accountability?!

Still po’d. Can’t think of a game (even Michigan this year) that has gotten under my skin like this one has. F-me

Thank you for sharing these insightful data points. I blame PSU coaching for most of those losses, not lack of talent.

Better to have led and lost than never to have led at all.

That has potential to catch on. Well done.

It is very very rarely that it is that cut and dry. Almost always a combination of coaching and lack of execution.

Most of our lives we have never been second to anyone 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s 2005, 2008 we were undefeated, played for natty or had 1 loss and usually that was barely ie, Mich 2005 and iowa 2008. Now we are second best (tier) and it really sucks!
I don’t know if I will ever get used to it.
