Key Points:
- Ohio State coach Ryan Day accepted responsibility for the team's poor start and overall performance in their 24-14 quarterfinal loss to Miami, which ended their College Football Playoff run.
- Miami dominated early, controlling the trenches and producing 153 rushing yards and five sacks, while Ohio State struggled with only one first down in the first quarter and negative rushing yards in the opening possessions.
- Despite a strong second-half response with two touchdowns, Ohio State was hampered by a crucial holding penalty that stalled a potential game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter.
- Miami's long 13-play touchdown drive and a 72-yard interception return for a touchdown helped build a lead Ohio State could not overcome, marking their largest deficit since
