I know of course people will say "Oh you're making excuses." or "Doesn't matter, they should be ready to go at anytime." But let's face it, OSU's loss came on an extremely bad day for the entire University, sports teams in particular. On top of the loss of Coach Budke, the football team's bus broke down and they barely made it to the game in time. That's gonna put a crimp in anyone's style.
The emotion could have gone either way. What happened when they barely beat KState?
