"…I thought my parents could take up to the remaining cost for a PLUS, so could I still have my dad take out the amount he wants or is it different at each school?"

Does your dad even know that OSU is expecting him to take out a $10,000 loan for each year of your education? Talk that through with him. Find out exactly how much he and your stepmother are ready, willing, and able to pay out of pocket, and whether or not they also are ready, willing, and able to borrow money for your education. OSU might not be affordable for you.

Do you have any other options besides these two, and what would those cost your family?
