Grumpy Old Buckeye: Sorting through the wreckage of the USC loss

The fatal flaw of this column is that it’s difficult to ridicule Ohio State for “sucking” after games in which the Buckeyes actually do suck. It honestly doesn’t happen often, but that was the case at USC on Saturday night on national television, as every phase of the game was poor, some of the play calling and other coaching decisions were inexplicable at times, and the supposed Achilles’ heel — backup quarterback Luke Fahey starting his first game — actually not being the primary problem. The Buckeyes were never in the game.
