Ohio State Blackeyes

Random Thoughts from last nights NC game:

• Different year, Same Story. Buckeyes start fast and end up giving up a ton of points in the 2nd quarter.
• Mistakes are usually not the the staple of a Jim Tressel team but there were way too many to ignore last night. Blocked kicks, Running into the punter, Personal fouls, and turn overs.
• The turnover and mental mistakes cost the Buckeyes all nights. Boeckman made too many bad throws and bad reads. I knew "the vest" didn't have much confidence in his arm but his decision making caused a number of turn overs. I think the Buckeyes could have ran on them all night if Boeckman could have hit a few more receivers.
• The drop. Robiskie drop in the end zone changed the game completely in LSU's favor.
• I didn't see a speed difference or better athletes on either side.
• I have concern when I hear Kirk Herbstreet say after the game that the perception from fans is that the Big Ten ranks somewhere between the MAC and the Conference USA in football rankings.
• It's time for a playoff system. The media will say that there are 3 teams that didn't belong in the BCS this year: Ohio State, Illinois, and Hawaii.
• The Big Ten took a hard hit last night.
• Fox did a terrible job last night. It's like watching the Big Ten Network do the National Championship game. Enough camara shots of the Band! They showed the Band more then the game last night!
