Coulda been 28-0, as 9 of those points were FGs that should have been TDs. They saved up all their mistakes for today. Too bad they couldn't have spent a few against us...

Online State puts most of their energy into beating Michigan.  Maybe if they saved some of that for other teams they would be the next dynasty.  Alas, here we are with Online State aspiring to a national title but losing yet again.  This one was heartbreaking.

Osu saves all their mistakes for non conference games. They’re 1-3 against top 25 non conference teams since Harbaugh has been at UM. 
 

**(Non playoff bowl games don’t matter. Teams and coaches treat them with wildly inconsistent levels of seriousness so they’re impossible to evaluate)

Can we get a Clemson / OSU 

UFR?
 

Was amazing to see a team actually force OSU into 3rd downs!?! Wish we could do the same. When Clemson did blitz it was highly effective too

I mean Dobbins almost got 200 yds rushing....

would just like to see a closer look at whar Clemson did. Not sure it was any one thing but they  actually got OSU into third downs and the blitzes they did have seeemd money every time 

 

not sure how they got to 3rd down or why they didn’t get gashed more by the pass

 

better players then UM given but would be nice to see the scheme

Day definitely looks like he's got more Tressel in him than Meyer

Conservative play calling in the biggest game of his life. OSU didn't beat Bama in 2015 by kicking fgs in the red zone

Swiss cheese defense in the biggest moments. Granted this was expected with Mattison, but glad to see it come to fruition

Yeah but the choke job vs Muschump to cost the B1G a perfect bowl season 2 years ago was pretty bad too.

We weren't playing for anything special against S. Carolina.  Online State had their best team in history, biggest payroll, and they lost in epic fashion when just holding a lead would've gotten them to the NC game.  I'd rather lose to S. Carolina than endure the misery that Online will endure for quite a while.

OSU ran into a team with equal talent and crumbled. They buried teams with inferior talent all season and had seen nothing like this.

Clemson's schedule was even more dogshit than OSU's, but the difference is that the leaders on that team have been here before and knew how to play in this kind of game. Credit Ryan Day for having his team ready to go from the start, but Clemson's experience won out. The Tigers got themselves into a hole, but hung on until they could figure things out and really get it going. It will be interesting to see if they can slow LSU down enough to have a chance.

As much as everyone likes to slobber all over Meyer, he hadn't seen the playoffs since 2016 where he got embarrassed. OSU actually showed some fight last night and scored the first Big Ten points in the playoff since 2014. Congrats, Bucks!
