To the winners go the spoils. To the losers? The yard work, at least in Columbus.
In front of a record crowd last month at The Horseshoe, the Gray team defeated the Scarlet team 28-17 in Ohio State’s annual spring game. Fast-forward four weeks, and the losing side got their comeuppance. Or paid their penance.
However you phrase it, the Scarlet squad, led by starting quarterback J.T. Barrett, were forced into some university yard work for being on the losing side of the spring game. Specifically, that side was forced to shovel, haul and spread in the neighborhood of 100 cubic yards of mulch in an effort to spruce up Buckeye Grove.
The first-team offense took part in the festivities, as did the second-team defense. At least one coach joined the fun as well.Lessons learned at Buckeye Grove today:
1. Don’t wear Jordans while mulching.
2. Don’t lose the Spring Game. https://t.co/X28ObgRZru
