The Buckeyes should have kicked the field goal. Bill Parcells said, “Always take the points.”
He missed the chip-shot that would have tied it.
Yeah but they had two chances at that.
The amazing thing is that Fielding has missed only a few FGs this season.
Yesterday was IU’s day. They deserve the win. It was an enjoyable game to watch. Some missed calls, but in both directions.
I am happy for the Hoosiers. (I live among them now, but they are really nice people.)
He would have had another chip-shot opportunity if OSU had taken that kick rather than going for it on fourth-and-one (point being I doubt he would have missed two such kicks). That's all hypothetical. What is not hypothetical is that IU held the vaunted Buckeyes to ten points.
