The crowd noise was much more continuous this game, as opposed to the Mizzou game.

Even though the OSU defense was very strong, we were moving them back each play in the Jumbo, and would almost certain have scored had we just given the damn ball to Cody one more time. Saturday was not Greg Davis's finest hour. Doug: I thought he was in on the 3rd down play as well while in the stadium, and still believe it after reviewing my Tivo of the game.

The kicking game needs to get fixed as in yesterday. We can't cover a kick, and Quan I love you as a receiver, but it takes You ten seconds to get to the 20 on a kick return. I want to see one of the fast young guns take a shot at it. I also thought he got in on third down. i wanted to see Cody get a second shot at it. The kicking game needs to get fixed as in yesterday.

I had no doubt that if they had simply run a QB sneak or handed the ball to Cody Johnson one more time, we score and win the game by 11." I was trying to explain that on another thread; who gives a shit if it didn't work on the first 3 downs, you run it again with big boy blocking (it looked like he got in on 3rd down though) “DBH: our final play call mystified me as much as it obviously did you.

He threw that last ball from our 40 to his 5. Even if OSU had caught it, game over. Looks like Zac Robinson’s maximum range is 55 yards. He threw that last ball from our 40 to his 5.

I was all in favor of going for it, but I wanted to ram big Cody into the endzone. Fortunately, we dodged a bullet, there. But it still underscores our ineptitude in short yardage situations, and that's maddening.

I had no doubt that if they had simply run a QB sneak or handed the ball to Cody Johnson one more time, we score and win the game by 11. That said, I thought we had trouble pounding the ball in at the end because OSU's defense is very good up the middle. The best we've seen all year, and are likely to see all year.

I guess I can understand the refs not calling it live, but on the replay there was a pregnant pause by the announcers. They didn't want to mention it. It was clearly pushing off and not just a great play by a defender. Was I the only one who thought the Lacey interception was a blatant push-off?
