I’m an OSU fan and I think the game was lost on the pick-6 early in the game. OSU was getting close to scoring with the score 7-0 at that moment. Instead of 7-7 as expected, it’s 14-0. Justin Sayin’s confidence seemed to melt. With few exceptions, long throws were gone as his line collapsed. He held the ball longer than usual and got sacked more in one game than the entire season. Obviously, I wanted OSU to win, but they did not play well enough to win.
To be fair, UM's defensive line had been pressuring QBs all year. Hard to throw when constantly getting chased around.
It's one reason for their success - along with great runningbacks, good QB and a YUGE offensive line... *average* 6'5" and 324 lbs!
Hey, we still beat Michigan, so all is not lost.
I’m a Longhorns fan and Arch showed what he can do yesterday. They will be formidable next year.
