We won and let's all get that straight. Don't start throwing rubbies my way.
I haven't seen us play scared in a long time. Downing a kick off and running off tackle the entire fourth quarter was playing scared. With that said, I think it was the prudent thing to do. TB was a little shell shocked and I wouldn't have trusted him to throw us out of our troubles. JT is the opposite of Miles. That guy is an idiot. We did what we had to do to win and that's fine with me.

The two turnovers aside our team played a good game today. The way they responded to the two big turnovers made this a great game. Their reponse to the adversity was to grab their lunch pails and go to work. That is what champions do.

It depends. The statistics are only as good as the one reporting them. A lot of times, they'll just report points-for and points-against. If they report the points-against, those 14 points will be reported. But if they specify the points against Ohio State's defense, they usually will not include those 2 touchdowns, or the touchdown given up to Northwestern (kickoff return), or the safety given up to Akron.

Downing a kick off was due to the fact that Ohio State was set up for an onside kick. Would you rather have had Branden get killed by unblocked Michigan State players? Also, I'm sure we didn't run off tackle the entire 4th quarter. If you're talking about the final few minutes it is pretty standard operating procedure to use a strong running attack to kill the clock at the end of a game. This is especially true for Jim Tressel, it can be frustrating at times to see the same plays seemingly over and over towards the end of a game but you cannot argue with the results.

Running off tackle in the 4th quarter with a lead is not playing scared.
Its going for the throat and doing it in such a way that they know exactly what you are doing but can't do a damn thing to stop you from doing it.
I'll take JT's version of how to finish a game over a certain homouex's ever increasing levels of insanity on 4th down any day of the week.

Dispatch - Quite a fright

Quite a fright
Wells' toughest runs come late, seal narrow win
Sunday, October 21, 2007 4:15 AM
By Ken Gordon
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
A player's worth is not proved early in games, when the sun shines brightly and his team is way ahead. It's when the shadows are deepening and throats are tightening that true value is determined.
Yesterday in Ohio Stadium, that's when Ohio State running back Chris "Beanie" Wells finally rose up, shaking off a painful ankle and shouldering the load in a 24-17 victory over Michigan State.
Wells carried seven straight times, picking up three first downs, to allow the top-ranked Buckeyes to run the final 3:38 off the clock and preserve a win that came much harder than it appeared it would, or even should.
"I always want to be that guy to carry the football, every time the team needs me," said Wells, who has a bone chip in his ankle that likely will require arthroscopic surgery. "It has just been hard to do with nagging injuries."
That last effort gave the sophomore 31 carries for 221 yards, both career highs and the first 200-yard game for Ohio Stat | | |
