Another top-2 team goes down as Ohio State can't overcome Julian Sayin's absence

On Saturday, it was No. 2-ranked Ohio State , dropping a 30-18 decision at USC for its second loss of the season. Ohio State has now lost as the No. 1 team in the country ( as it did in Week 2 at Texas ) and the No. 2 team in the country. Even though Ohio State entered Saturday's game as one of the top-ranked teams in the country, this was always going to be a big test for the Buckeyes given the absence of its starting quarterback.
