The Buckeyes won the game 40-28, and while there were some hiccups, the team scored 20 points in roughly a 4-minute span while down by 8 in the third quarter. It showed heart and ability, which are both needed in order to potentially win a national title.

And Ohio State should be confident. Beating the No. 17 team in the country by double-digits in primetime at a massive venue on the road is huge.
The only thing that’s left to do now is keep winning, which the Buckeyes surely feel confident about.
