My final thought on this one: it seemed like the Bucks were trying to win both last year's and this year's games on that day. You can't win 2 games at once.

Big games like this have big momentum swings. That's what we saw.
Robo holds on to that TD and we go into half 17-17 and feeling good.
The drop, then the block just killed this times confidence and momentum.
It was over at that point.
We come out the second half and screw up with a penalty after we stopped them. Very tough for our guys at that point.
The immaturity showed in various ways that killed confidence and our momentum.
Bottom line, we were a year early to the Big Dance and it cost us this game.
We will be back!  Just think how that will drive the national media crazy! |

Indeed I was dissapointed about the turnout. Not to get up on a soapbox here, but how many of us took the day of the game off? The day after, planning to celebrate? How many of us took a week off work to go to NOLA, to support the team (and yes, party our you know what's off)? I'm just saying for all these kids give us, and how they make us proud on and off the field, it would've been nice for more than the number of buckeyes who happened to be at the airport at that moment to have shown up to congratulate them on a great season and thank them for all they have done! End of rant...

I have a couple of quick thoughts.
First, Robo didn't drop the pass. As a picture showed in an earlier thread, the defensive back popped it out. Whether he bobbled it or whatever, he didn't bring it down finally because of a good defensive play.
Second, to the victor go the spoils. Fans rarely turn out to celebrate the return of a team that fails to meet its expectations and Ohio State fans have unrealistic expectations.
This team doesn't owe anyone an apology. They had a great year. We can all be proud of them.
I'm anxious to see how they do next year.

all right. everything has been beaten to death enough.
we need to get over it and put this thing to bed. winter conditioning starts in a couple weeks, and the basketball season is heating up.
it's time for this thread to go into the reference locker.

Which is why Boeckman had time to look 4 and 5 reads into his progression right????

It didn't help matters that TB wanted to write a novel while he was standing there..or before he would take off for a 1 yard scamper There is a reason receivers were never open. There is a reason TB wouldn't throw the ball. Just like TS didn't a few years ago against florida...

You just contradicted yourself (again) within one paragraph. Either the O-line wasn't blocking well enough to get the passes off or Todd was holding onto the ball too long....make up my mind here....
And Troy had issues LAST YEAR, not "a few years ago"......

Two years ago they could match up with anyone in the country and their offensive line was humiliated in a national title game as well if you remember correctly by a team that didn't appear to be playing on the same level as OSU.

 Just stop......

If OSU's defense would have performed like LSU's then we would have never stopped hearing how this could be the best defense in OSU history..It's just different when it's the other team..Stats are overlooked and excuses are made.

You mean like making excuses for obvious and admitted Roiders???

LSU had more depth and more talent overall this year,and were better coached. That's how teams win..OSU didn't "give" that game away. LSU took it from them. There is a difference. It was apparent when OSU's defense couldn't contain anyone on LSU's offense. Were we watching the same game?

Horse[censored]. Ohio State gave the game away with stupid penalties, turnovers and a major screw up (although with the right intent) in special teams.

I could ask you the same thing..... |

yeah I agree with LV, this thread has been beaten into the ground now.
Everything has been re-hashed and hashed again  |
