Agree.
I'm referring just to the title game. |

Part of the "Behind the Numbers" section of the Game Preview was more relevant to the game than I allowed myself to believe...

In the BCS-CG, Todd did not throw an interception until the Buckeyes trailed. He threw his first interception on the first possession the Buckeyes started while trailing on the scoreboard. The Buckeyes had zero turnovers before they trailed. They made it to the Tiger red-zone on 3 of their first 4 possessions. They ended 3 of their last 7 possessions with turnovers, 2 of which were picks.
Todd seems to handle the pressure from the DL pretty well until he feels pressure from the scoreboard. Hopefully, Tressel will be able to coach Todd up and settle him down when the Bucks are trailing. It is a huge key to our success for the upcoming season.
...unless of course we never trail during the upcoming season.

that is probably common to all qbs, get behind, press, try and make plays, tos result.
not rocket science imo.

Sorry, not true. The opposite was the case for the LSU QBs all season long.

I hope we trail in the upcoming season. The reason look at the BCS NCS and who scored first.
OSU last 2 years, USC before that, Oklahoma the year before that. LSU did not when they split, but Miami did in the 02.
All im saying is, the first to score usually losses.
I wouldnt mind being down 3 in the first quarter of the BCS NCG.
I mean when we played ND it took our defense a drive to get it into gear as well. |

That pass that Robo dropped in the endzone was a beautiful ball. But for every one of those, there seem to be a handful of wounded ducks. Sometimes it | |
