Buckeyes Hold off Navy Rally
v. 
105,000 fans saw a late 4th quarter Navy rally that almost ended the Buckeye season before it began. Ohio St. lead by double digits midway through the 4th quarter before Navy punched it in. Navy then recovered the onside kick and came up just short.
The Navy game plan was extremely effective. Ohio State's defense could not get off the field and Navy went 3-5 on 4th down conversions. Navy controlled the clock with the run, which opened the passing game as well. Osu also lost their top WR Posey for 2 weeks.
Osu escapes and sets up next week's collision in Columbus with Usc. It will be interesting to see how the Osu offense fares without Posey.
