I'm not in the union so I can offer mine:

1) The game was closer than the score. It was just uncanny how any momentum producing plays would immediately be countered by a negative (penalty, blown coverage, dropped pass, etc.)
2) Boeckman didn't look left. One play in particular, LSU plain forgot to line someone up on our WR. Boeckman was busy talking to the line and backs, etc. and never noticed. By the time the ball was snapped they had someone in coverage, but it had to have been a safety or LB. Still, he never looked left. That play was a sure touchdown. That said...
3) Dorsey really is pretty good. Boeckman's (legitimate) fear of getting killed surely contributed to his staring down the primary (usually to his right) most of the night.
4) Beanie is a GREAT back. He was still limping on the sidelines... and y'all saw what he did in the game.
5) The zone is not good when playing a well coached team with a good QB and good WRs. Waiting for a mistake is good, but what if they never make one?
6) LSU fans are loud. We seemed to outnumber them, but they seemed louder to me. I was in a mostly LSU section, but still... damn. We definately played a road game and LSU definately played at home that night.
7) LSU fans are obnoxious as a group. One-on-one most were pretty cool. They would throw out the SEC-vs-the-world crap, but when pressed would admit they didn't really believe it either... they just like annoying Buckeyes. As someone who likes annoying Wolverines, I can respect that. Nowhere near as obnoxious as Gator fans last year who all wanted to fight for some reason.
8) Buckeye fans are pretty cool. Our cheers are positive, no "Tiger-bait!" crap here. Just "O-H" "I-O!" and "Go Bucks!" No one sat down. Whenever a player on the field pumped his arms... he got a loud "Let's-Go-BUCKS... Let's-Go-BUCKS!" even when the game was 'over'. Ask the LSU fans... they were impressed... annoyed, but impressed.
