I'll sum up tonight's game like so:
SHOCK and AWE!!!!!!!!!
Now for the rant:
Ted Ginn, we're still big fans and all, but short of your ankle or foot bring broken maybe you could have given it a chance. My God the offense looked about as good as the Browns do.I guess I'll give SOME props to the Gators scheming system. And by the way just how many times tonight was a block missed??????
And the Heisman jinx goes on and on. Troy Smith, you are heading to the NFL but not before the 2nd or 3rd round, buddy!!!!! Talk about being not ready. I guess once 7 was on the sidelines, you, or anyone else for that matter couldn't bother to step up!!!!
The bulletproof vest worn under Jim Tressel's sweater vest came off tonight. This is a threefolded issue.
-----Why not try an onside kick after the Ginn TD? What other way could you have imagined being up 10 or 14-0 right off the bat. Then you could have thanked Urban for deferring the kickoff.
-----Why not step up the tempo at the start, just like UF did???? Even without Ginn in there, we still have much quality there. And maybe then Troy isn't running for his life all night.
-----I DO NOT have a problem with the 4th down call on our 29, but couldn't you have tried something that would
have gained at least 2-3 yards. And you should have called a T.O. and maybe the refs woud have looked at it. I know you used the challenge before and lost. So that was not available at the time.
-----Why not go 2 minute offense right off the bat in the 2nd half. At that point, down 20, there's nothing to lose.
Coach Tressel, you've got some explaining to do!!!!!!!
Necessary tagline change time.
Congrats to you for being the first one all night to question why Ted Ginn didn't return to that game. The guy ran back out on the field and I saw no limp whatsoever. Then all of a sudden, he's wearing some walking cast type thing? What was that, in a national title game. Seems like he ran his kick back, got a little banged up and decided to protect his NFL draft status!! Geez, national title game.
