Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

Ohio State knew what its issues were -- they were nothing new -- and had three and a half weeks to fix them before the #CFBPlayoff.
The #Buckeyes failed to do so and that's why the 2026 season is over.

Arvell Reese emerged as a breakout star for Ohio State seemingly overnight during the regular season.
But his sudden rise into a do-everything linebacker and X-factor for the College Football Playoff was years in the making.
