BAHAHAHAHA ... love it.
For one thing, if OSU would've played just a modicum of special teams D, the score would have been in blowout territory. Second, the "whoever didn't beat whomever, whomever beat themselves" defense is the most hackneyed, and lamest excuse for losing a team (or fans) can throw out there, as it almost never actually applies. Bad clock management, bad snaps to the QB, Kicker, and other unforced errors are more "beating yourself", only scoring one offensive touchdown is simply not executing.
Literally every team in college football can lose and say "... well, we beat ourselves ...". Cause ... we didn't get the best recruits, or we didn't coach as well, or because our players didn't play to their potential, blah blah blah.
Or more eloquently ... the above.
