Eleven Dubcast: Ohio State Falls to Oregon, Sifting Through the Aftermath of the Loss and Takeaways Towards the Buckeyes Achieving Their Long-Term Goals

There would be no thrill of victory without the agony of defeat.

Join the Eleven Dubcast this week and Johnny and I make sense of the aftermath wrought by Ohio State losing its first game of the season to Oregon. For nearly a full hour on this episode, we explore the excruciating final moments of the game alongside standout and letdown performances alike from Buckeyes on both sides of the ball.

We also provide our key takeaways relative to how fans should feel about this team accomplishing its long-term goals the rest of the season. Although many fans remain optimistic given the expanded College Football Playoff, some of us feel discouraged by recent trends that further played out in last Saturday night's loss.

Additionally, the Dubcast discussion also covers:

• Why does the outcome of a close loss so often overshadow the positive work done by players to put themselves in a position to potentially win a game?
• Is Denzel Burke the new Shaun Wade?
• Ask Us Anything — writers to dubcast@elevenwarriors.com this week inquired about many topics, such as what is the experience of writing an article after a tough loss like this?
• Week 7 of college football had a handful of potentially exciting upsets that tragically slipped away, such as USC over Penn State and South Carolina over Alabama.
• Women's hockey continues to roll, while Nadine Muzerall cemented herself as the best head coach on campus after Ryan Day's weekend.
• Eleven Dubgate XII happens in less than two weeks, everyone in Columbus should go!
