Bummer for the Buckeyes, they looked like the better team tonight. If they had ONE solid quarterback that knew what he was doing, they would have won going away.

On another note, that performance should end any speculation that UT belonged in the title game, and/or championship discussion. Utah is definitely at the head of that list.

How did I know that Pryor and Boeckman would both end up playing? In any case, I can live with the fact that the Buckeyes didn't go in there and embarrass themselves. But I'm still very angry about the outcome.

GREAT game last night. Very fun. I wish OSU had prevailed, but it was an awesome game.

I also believe that this game, and the NU-Mizzou game, in spite of there being 2 losses, shows there is no talent gap between the Big Ten and Big 12.

 

[Jigglybootch]

I agree with Skylab. It's not so easy to score 40 points when your opponent actually plays defense. The thing that bothers me though is the huge difference in passing. Colt McCoy completed more passes than Boeckman and Pryor (combined) attempted. If Ohio State had a true powerhouse passing attack to complement Wells's rushing they'd be really scary.

Good job Horns! McCoy added another chapter to his legend. I think of ol' Captain comeback Applewhite every time I watch 'em.

What, There most certainly is a talent gap between the Big 10 and the Big 12. The Big 10 is no longer the powerhouse it once was. These days it is the SEC and the Big 12 (in that order I might add).

How do you figure. It's not like Northwestern and Ohio State embarrassed themselves in those games. If Big 10 is as weak as everyone seems to think, then to me all these games proved is that the Big 12 isn't nearly as good as everyone makes it out to be.

 

[ronnielee54]

Excuse me, who won? In the end that is what matters.

I will agree though that Ohio State did not embarass themselves (this year).

Well, the Big 12 teams may have won, but I don't know if I'd call the wins convincing.

No, that is not the whole story. You get to claim wins, but you do not get to claim a talent gap AT ALL, based on those wins. Sorry. The Big 12 is proving it does have MAJOR issue in how it plays defense.

The SEC looks to be considerably better than the B12, and they will provide it once and for all Thursday.

This leaves me with a huge dilemma. I want Oklahoma to destroy Florida in this game, but at the same time I want the whole world to see that the Big 12 is not the juggernaut that people make it out to be. I don't know what to do.

 

[Skylab]

I'm fully rooting for FLA, just for that reason. The Big 12 had great Offensive stats playing each others' poor defenses - this is showing up in the bowls big time.

At least Oklahoma played some good OOC opponents. Texas did NOT.

You want Florida to win. If they do, Oklahoma's whipping boy status will surpass Ohio State's. No Buckeye in his right mind, should root for OU imo.

Anyway, the Sooners appreciate your support guys!

Oh and speaking of OOC, BYU vs OU will be the first game in the new Dallas Cowboy stadium. I will be there. Also, leaving for Miami tomorrow, can't wait.

 

[Skylab]

I agree. I will be forced to root for Florida. But i have no love for either team, I'm sorry to say.

 

[Jigglybootch]

In any case, I just wish Utah would've had the chance to play the winner. Say what you want about their conference, but they're the only undefeated team and they thrashed a good SEC team.
