Only the 11th night game in the history of the Horseshoe?

Was this place once the Wrigley Field of college football with no lights or what?

Never noticed that night games were a rarity at OSU.

Didn't have permanent lights until recently and as a Buckeye fan living in Columbus I can attest to being at several night-game losses.

The best atmospheres I have ever been around were the USC and Texas games which they lost both.

Michigan installed lights last year and beat Notre Dame in their first ever home night game. I don't think they have used them since. Don't know why these teams don't play more night games. Especially earlier in the season when it's warmer.

Herd your boys had a night game here that I went to but unfortunately OSU hasn't won the marquee night games, just the ones against lesser comp.

Ohio State has always been know to choke in the big games. But now that Urban is in town they seem different. Its too bad that they can go to a bowl game. Maybe thats the difference??
