The kicking game
Saturday wasn't the first time an Ohio State kicker has missed an important field goal. Jayden Fielding missed two field goals (big shock). He missed one last year too.
Ohio State passed up a 55-yard field goal attempt on the first drive of the third quarter, with the wind. Late in the second quarter, Dominic Zvada hit a field goal from nearly the same spot (54 yards).
Michigan didn't hesitate. It would have probably kicked a 60-yarder. Zvada was also added via the transfer portal in the offseason. Ohio State could have addressed a position that has doomed them in three straight years (2022 Georgia field goal miss) and didn't.
It cost them.
