Ohio State fell to USC on November 4, 2026, in a game where the Buckeyes made the type of mistakes typically associated with the Trojans. The contest marked a rare meeting between the two historic programs, now both competing in the Big Ten Conference following USC's move from the Pac-12.
According to Trojans Wire reporter Adam Bradford, Ohio State's unforced errors proved decisive in the outcome. The loss represents a significant early-season setback for the Buckeyes in their conference championship aspirations.
