I pretty sure that is correct as well. Certainly, if he had controlled it before Jackson made the play on it; it would have been a TD. I'm pretty sure he had a grab at it after the poke, but he was on his way out of bounds and I'm not sure he could have gotten a foot down. I honestly thought JT should have thrown the red flag on that one just to make sure it was reviewed, but having only seen the one replay it looked like a good call. FWIW, JT even referred to it as a "drop" in the post-game comments.

SEC fans will almost always root for an SEC team against a team from another conference, even if it's their biggest SEC rival.

You hit the nail on the head exactly. We always root for the other SEC teams when they play team from other conferences. It's almost like a family thing. We can beat the [censored] out of each other, but we're for each other when it's against somone else. Maybe SEC fans are unique in that respect.

Guess it's an SEC thing. Your Union soul just wouldn't understand. (he-he)

But as a receiver myself I still believe in the philosophy of if you can touch it, you can catch it.

It was a great play. Chevis (Jackson) had to make up for that stiff-arm he took from Wells earlier, which was also a classic play.

Attributed to tremendous visional agility.

But holy [censored] those were some giant flags. I think our cheerleaders had flag envy

It is clear OSU needs better players to keep up with the SEC. Recruiting is the lifeblood of a program.

Mods,

sorry if this has been posted elsewhere. I have to say that I was very dissapointed in reading this, I know many of us, myself included, were en route from NOLA, but still.

Dissapointed to read the players were upset? Did you think after finishing second again they were going to be pumped up? C'mon, give these guys a break.. they feel they let buckeye nation down..

maybe you should go read the article how hartline wanted to get all the fans together just so he could say he was sorry, instead of busting their balls for looking "sheepish" according to the article.
