7. Revenge
They’re not talking about it, but the Buckeyes are thirsty for revenge. They want the win that got away from them last year.
They know they could have won that game – Ohio State was driving for a tying score with less than two minutes to play. A rookie mistake from Barrett forced a pick-six and gave the Hokies the 35-21 win, but it could have very easily gone to overtime that night.
You won’t get them to discuss it, but they want payback.

Born and raised a Buckeye fan, Jeff Seemann has been covering sports in Ohio for 25 years. He attended The Ohio State University in 1987, where he went to more football games than classes. As a result, he is now (finally) finishing his degree at the University of Cincinnati. He claims to have been in attendance at Earle Bruce's final game (a win over That Team Up North), the Browns' double-OT win over the NY Jets, and the game known as "The Shot". He is only fond of recalling the memories of two of those games. Feel free to annoy him on Twitter at @JeffFromOhio
