Ohio State deserves what ever piling on we get. After the UF game I was like, "ok, we just didnt care, Troy got fat, blah blah blah." After the LSU game I was like "well, it's not so bad, we weren't even supposed to be there" AFter this game, there is NO excuse.
We are a good team. We are not even close to great. We were lifeless on "O". I guess I would be too if my coach had just yanked our best player 12 hours before the game. I mean seriously, give the kid the needle and go pound on them!
Other observations.
1. Someone tell Tressel that field goals dont win big games.
2. Todd was a wreck because ever other play he saw a freshman taking over. Make the switch and move on. Todd, we love you, but you suck.
3. If I see Boeckman run another option, I will kill myself.
4. Why do we keep playing the same GD zone in our secondary and continue to get torched every single big game?
5. Finally, we better get our heads out of our asses and realize that we may be the 4th best team in the conference right now.
I guess I loved the 02 team so much because it was just a bunch of guys playing hard, smart and loving every min of it. This team is soft.
