LOL, make that 328 yards of offense and down 27-24 after a blatant, uncalled push-off.  You don't think Glen Mason noticed the push-off?  I guess you've heard Glen Mason call a football game. ;)

BTN Halftime of the Mizzou / Purdue game -- Mike Hall, talking about Purdue's quarterback:

"David Blough; that's his name -- that name again is David Blough."

groan....

Wow, just saw the faux OSU touchdown.  That was absolutely, 100% a safety.  I can't believe they missed that on replay.

OSU missing that FG, reminds me, did anyone else think Nordin missed the 45 yarder today? From the tv angle it looked like he pushed it left. He’s probably one of the most inconsistent kickers I’ve seen. Extra points don’t even go straight

You just have this gut feeling that Helton is in over his head at USC. I am not sure how much of a leash he's got, but surely USC fans are going to have less tolerance for 3-4 losses year in year out than we do.

I like what TCU is doing but my fear is OSU will still win a very close game at the end of the 4th quarter.  And that touchdown OSU was rewarded that should have been a safety will be the difference. 

I keep feeling like I shouldn't get invested in this game because I'll just be pissed when it's over.  Especially when Fowler and Herbie start fawning over OSU for winning this game without Urban Meyer.

Maybe I should focus on Texas/USC?  Ugh....fuck OSU!!!

You can't just install an up-tempo offense the way you can a wildcat package or whatever.  It's a philosophical mindset that needs to be applied from the top down.

You also need an offensive line that's on the same page on every play.  With the current OL, I think giving them as much time as possible to survey the situation and to communicate the blocking calls is the right play.
