Key Points:
- No. 2 Ohio State suffered a surprising 30-18 loss to USC, marking their first time with two losses before November since 2011 and only the second unranked loss under coach Ryan Day.
- Starting quarterback Julian Sayin's season-ending injury has significantly impacted the team's performance, with true freshman Luke Fahey struggling to fill the role effectively.
- Ohio State's defense showed notable weaknesses against USC, allowing big plays and 30 points after previously strong performances, raising concerns about the unit's current effectiveness.
- Despite setbacks, Ohio State remains on the College Football Playoff bubble, needing to win remaining games against quality opponents like Oregon and Northwestern to maintain a chance.
- The team's talent level has declined compared to previous championship squads, putting pressure on Ryan Day to develop the current roster and respond to recent challenges.
