Surprised we had 3 shutouts in 2009. Could have had 3 last year, but 3 long field goals (m) |

By BayAreaBuck on 12:54:58 03/30/24 [In reply to "Sheesh, I'll take that bet. My O/U for goose eggs is 1/2 (one half). They'll get one, max, and probably not even that" by ScriptOhio (Texas Ex), posted at 12:37:34 03/30/24] prevented the shutouts. Shows you need a great D and a little bit of good fortune to skunk a team. Last shutout was Cincinnati all the way back in 2019. : There's probably only two opponents on the schedule that are likely shutout victims anyway, the two MAC schools to open the season. Iowa, even without Brian Ferentz, seems like a potential victim (although Ohio State couldn't shut them out WITH Ferentz). Maybe throw Indiana in there, too. But shutouts in B1G play don't happen that often; other than a few Rutgers shutouts, the last one was Wisconsin in the 2014 B1G Championship Game massacre. : OSU hasn't had 3 shutouts in the same season OR consecutive shutouts (which they'd have to get to shutout Akron and WMU) since 2009. : Three is a very tall order.
