OSU vs. USC

What a game. Ohio State Dominated the superior USC offense for 3.8 quarters, but they were finally bent too far and broke. USC's defense (or OSU offense) stopped OSU. For the second week OSU was not really able to run the ball, but a lot of teams have a hard time running the ball. Either way, it was the best game I have ever been too, I just wish we won at the end. I am sure that all of the writers are going to talk about how OSU couldn't match up, or blew it, or something to that effect, but the truth is that they held one of the best teams in the nation to a very close game when everyone predicted that we would get crushed...

Now to our take. I have never felt so much energy in that stadium. From the moment USC got the ball to the last play when the scored the game winning touchdown you couldn't hear a thing when they were on the field. When you had to stop jumping to catch your breath, you could feel the rest of the stadium shaking as though it was going to fall apart. Despite USC's Barkley's prediction that it wouldn't be any harder that highschool, you could see that he was visibly shaken when he couldn't hear. And it was even more amusing when the USC's players (#86) were acting like it was no big deal that we were loud, which made us get louder, and disrupted everything they did.

It finally all came down to USC's offensive line outlasting OSU's Defensive line, and we were all sad when it did. After the game we all saw the what if's. What if Tressel would have tried for one of those 57 yard field goals that we could have take rather than punted. What if we would have been able to run the ball for more than two yards a pop, or stop them on 4th and 1 at least once.

Still, best game I have ever gone too, and I wouldn't have traded those tickets for the world. Love you doll.
