These two storied programs have only met five times — and not since 2011 — but there is a ton of history between Ohio State and Miami.

By halftime of Saturday’s matchup between Texas A&M and Miami, the game remained scoreless. In fact, save for a lone third-quarter field goal for the Hurricanes, the first three quarters were sloppy at baseline, made worse by untenable wind (Miami’s kicker missed three field goals in the outing, with said wind largely to blame). It […]
