2023 Ohio State Season Review
The Buckeyes season c🍸ame down to a showd𒆙own with Michigan and Ohio State came up short for the third straight year. Michigan won 30-24 and went on to win its third Big Ten Championship in a row to reach the College Football Playoff.
Let’s just say, Ohio State fans are not happy about how the last couple of years have turned out. in 2021, the Buckeyes missed the playoff. In 2022, they lost a fantastic game to Georgia. This season, they are headed to the Cotton Bowl and missing the playoff due to another loss to Michigan.
Quarterback Kyle McCord is transferring after throwing 24 touchdowns so that leaves the bowl game to Devin𓆉 Brown.
