Mike Tirico said at one point during an ESPN highlights segment- "If Ohio State scores during halftime, we'll show it to you.'

Mark mays favorite game

Mark May loves the Buckeyes!!!

They could have easily dropped a 100 on them.

How this team, which defeated three teams ranked in the top five, while 10-0 and ranked #2 at the time, could be held to only 9 points and lose AT HOME to a thoroughly mediocre 7-3 (at the time, ending the season at 8-4) Michigan team that had lost its previous two games including to PURDUE by a score of 3 - 9, is one of the enduring mysteries of the universe.

I was at this game. We sat next to Franco Harris!

29:23 is where the legend of David Boston truly began.

It was almost as if the '95-'98 Buckeye teams had to try not to win a national championship.

96 team should have been voted No. 1 anyway

This Pitt team was one of the worst 4-win teams I have ever seen. They lost games by scores of 34-0, 72-0, 45-0, 55-7 and 60-6. It was so sad to see the great Johnny Majors end his coaching career on a team like this that simply had no talent to be able to compete.

[@walterlv01]

@Jamal Greasy Ohio State's coach (Cooper) said afterwards that they tried not to score in the second half by closing the playbook and running just 2 or 3 base offense plays that they run in practice but they were still gaining 20-30 yards even on those.

[@robertmusgrave9236]

Didn’t this loss cause pitt to do a massive brand change the next year aka the “DinoCat” and PITTSBURGH look under AD Steve Pederson

[@manhalen7046]

Watch Orlando Pace run block on all of Ohio States runs, the dude just streoys his guy on every play and then moves up to the linebackers and does more damage. He was probably the most dominant run blocking LT to ever play.

[@rshelley7496]

You know its a bad mismatch when a freshman, albeit a very talented one, runs a punt back for a TD when the return team has 8 guys on the field

[@politicoswaff]

You're the man

[@davidheilman1928]

I think Ohio State may have scored at halftime.

[@jamilabdur-rashid3801]

Ohio State should have been charged with child abuse for this and Rice.🤣
