COLUMBUS, Ohio -- For all its length and drawn-out narratives, the story of a football season for any team can usually be told around a small collection of individual plays.
The Buckeyes took part in over 2,500 plays this football season, but seven stand out as deciding the overall outcome of the 2018 campaign. With the season concluded 30 days ago, it's time to take a look back at those plays, good, bad and ugly.
The Lows
Unless you become that season's national champion, there's always plays that players and fans can look back on and speculate better outcomes if they were different. Ohio State went 13-1 in 2018 with a Big Ten title and Rose Bowl victory, which brings mostly positive plays to light.
Two stand out as robbing them of higher goals though, things like a college football playoff appearance or national title. Not to say these were the sole reasons the Buckeyes missed out, but they were the most critical moments.
