Rivalries are filled with devastating losses. I'm struggling to think of a crushing loss.

Forget woody Bo, cooper's mid 00s,or how Tressel completely ruined Michigan with 01, 02 + 06.

Wisconsin was brutal and derailed a title run and one against an Auburn team ripe for the picking with a well rounded Buckeye squad.

What loss ruined their season? Only one game even comes close and that ultimately didn't matter that much given the title chase finish.

2005 was pretty brutal. Cost OSU an outright Big Ten Title. A title won by Penn State who went on to win a BCS game vs. FSU.

Ohio State and Penn State first played in 1912, but until 1993 when Penn State joined the Big Ten conference, the meetings were infrequent. Including their last non-conference meeting in the 1980 Fiesta Bowl, the series was 6–2 in favor of Penn State before the Big Ten established the two teams as designated conference rivals playing annually starting in 1993.[50] Penn State trails the overall series 13-15 and is 7–13 in conference play (recognized by the NCAA as 8-15 overall and 2-13 in conference play due to the NCAA's removal of wins from Penn State's child sex abuse scandal).[51]

Penn State is 6–9 at Ohio Stadium (the 1912 game was played at its predecessor, Ohio Field) and after a 13–6 win in 2008, Penn State had broken a seven-game away losing streak at Ohio Stadium that had been held since 1975. Penn State is 5–6 against Ohio State in Beaver Stadium, including a memorable come-from-behind win in 2001 to give Joe Paterno his 324th win, passing Bear Bryant for the lead in career victories among major college coaches.[51][52]

A couple of meetings have determined the conference champion.[citation needed] Of the 28 games they played, 11 have been determined by 7 points or less, 16 games by 14 points or less. Penn State has shut out Ohio State three times but all occurred prior to Penn State joining the Big Ten, while Ohio State has never held Penn State below six points.[51] Due to the nature of the rivalry, a large number of games between the two teams are night games.[citation needed]

As with Penn State, Ohio State's football team has also been hit with a scandal in recent years, regarding coach Jim Tressel covering up the fact that five OSU football players, including Terrelle Pryor, received improper benefits. OSU would self-vacate its entire 2010 season as a result, and the NCAA eventually banned them from the 2012-13 bowl season (which had a profound impact on the national title race that season, as unbeatens Notre Dame and OSU were not able to meet in the 2013 BCS National Championship Game, 1-loss Alabama played instead and won, bringing the Southeastern Conference its 7th straight national title). Tressel was also given a 5-year show-cause penalty, which effectively prevents him from coaching in the NCAA during this period.
