I think we were lucky to come back as well as we did against MSU, but what I dont' get is why
OSU's mistakes are reasons why we shouldn't win and MSU's mistakes are reasons they should have won but squandered.
They should have tackled Holmes on the last td of his, but the Ginn play was just toughness by him running into and over a LBer and sprinting for the TD.
I think we battled very hard and put ourselves in position, and caught a few lucky breaks (which may have turned into scores later anyway had we not fumbled the ball (that was the main way they slowed us down).
MSU was in the game b/c of how we gave the game away. The first Holmes fumble was a miscommunication (he needed the next line of guys to field it b/c it was too far to run up, yet they didn't hear him and he couldn't get there). Ginn has caught a lot of balls bouncing off of the turf, so that was a little uncharacteristic of him too.
The roughing the passer call was nothing they did either.
Our mistakes were huge turnovers that definitely led to some of their scoring. For the most part, their mistakes (other than the FG) were missed tackles against talented players. If they make those tackles, we may very well go onto score still.
