pathetic buckeye team??

i think not

1. Lets get the facts straight, the reason why michigan did not convert in the redzone was not because of their own fault, but because the buckeye red zone D is probably the best in the country. If you think about it the the last half of the season, penn state and illinois are the only ones that scored a TD on the buckeyes. Both of the possesions that those teams scored a TD on started inside the buckeye 30 yard line, one on a punt return, the other on a fumble.

2. Maurice clarret was 80% not 100%. He would never run the ball more than twice in a row, and if he did he had to come out to take a break. That hurt the buckeyes a bit.

3. the fumble wasnt an accidental fumble, watch the replay smith caused it cause he put his helmet right on the ball.

4. I do give credit to the michigan offense they played a good game and had a good game plan prepared. But the buckeye D didnt play their best, namely gamble he had a horrible game, he was hurting the bucks more than helping.

anyways, i am done for now mainly cause i have to do math.. but i do agree with you brass on the optimism i have for the big ten in the bowl games, i think they are the best conference this year and its going to show.
