Ohio State Football: Buckeyes Could Be Out Of BCS Title Contention After Virginia Tech Loss

Ohio State football is only two games into the season, but the Buckeyes may have already suffered a serious blow to their national title hopes.

The No. 8 ranked Buckeyes suffered a shocking loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday night. Playing before a record crowd of 107,517 at an enlarged Ohio Stadium, the Buckeyes threw three interceptions including one returned for a touchdown in losing 35-21.

“Our opponent really did a good job preparing for us. They exposed us a little bit, some of the weaknesses on our team,” Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said after the game. “It was rather obvious what it is.”

Some believe that the loss could be a sign of a difficult season for Ohio State football. After the game, Meyer said that his players failed to perform, and warned of what could happen if they continue to play below expectations.

“I’m a little bit surprised. I thought our skills guys would perform better,” Meyer admitted. “I still have confidence that we have enough skill on this football team to get by people. I know it didn’t look like it — but we have to get by people. Or you’re going to see what you saw today. You’ll see it every week.”
