Agree with it. It resulted in 3 points. We lost by 27. It was not a deciding factor for them. If we get that first down, maybe it would have given our guys the confidence we were looking for at that time?

yes. We should have been able to pick but didn't... that's just the way the entire night went.

No, but I certainly don't think this play is what got the snowball rolling. We needed to make something happen on defense and until that happened (unfortunately it never did happen), the offense looked and played desperate IMO. Not a good spot to be in...

The thought that went thru my head as I saw Smith and Co. staying on the field (Other than "get that yard!") was that Tressel was not being Tressel, and that troubled me.

I like the idea, but not the play. The line wasn't generating much of anything all night. The 3rd and 1 play call was worse.

I didn't like the call, but I was more disturbed by it's meaning. Tressel got desperate and exhibited no confidence in his defense. For someone as calculated and football savvy as JT, this told me that he knew we were in for a long night.

too often we scream about the playcalling being too conservative and not aggressive. Tressel wanted to assert the team into the game right there and it failed.
Even good poker players lose on occassion

The play I dont like is the call on 3rd down. TS pretty much just fell down while trying to get the 1st....2 horrible calls in a row in my honest opinion.

I agree with that completely. It seemed to me, quite possibly, that the team was trying to come out of the locker room being a team never before seen on the field, a team that has provided no footage for other teams to sit and review. No one seemed comfortable in the skin they were wearing. Did we try to hard to be something new, exciting and different? I believe so and it backfired tremendously. We should have just stuck with the tried and true... the comfy skin that got us to the game in the first place.

But, I do agree with your "disturbed" feeling. I was the same way, in that it was just something that I took as so out of charecter for Tress that I knew he was .... what... not losing control... but... can't think of the word. Just... didn't have it that night.... somehow.

No, I didn't like the 4th down playcall. I would gone for it on PS2. I didn't like the 3rd down quarterback sneak either.
