The Ohio State Buckeyes have proven the old wisdom about profiting from a loss. Consider their performance in week one. Head coach Ryan Day gambled far less and was more conservative in the win over Notre Dame. Cause by a revamped defense. Jim Knowles arrived from Oklahoma State. After leading the Cowboy defense to one of the best College Football betting seasons in its history. In his first game with the Buckeyes, the defense dominated Notre Dame. And then it was more of the same in week two.
