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?

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.

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.
