Isn't THAT UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!
If you listened to the FOX telecast, all they kept saying was that Ginn was injured in their first offensive series, not during or after the TD play.
Then I pick up the paper this morning to find out that Roy Hall fell on his foot DURING the celebration.

Having 24 hours to digest last night simply reaffirms what I said before. Although it is very easy to pin the lousy performance on one or a group of players, I simply start and end the blame game at the top--with Jim Tressel and his coaching staff.
It is one thing to be out-coached by Urban Meyer in a close game. It is entirely different to lose in this manner when you are as meticulous in your preparation and looked like you just started playing football last night.
Sure they were off for 50 days, but Florida was off for 35, so to use that as an excuse is a bunch of CRAP.
The bulletproof vest under Tresses sweater vest came off last night. He didn't have clue one what to do or better yet, even make ANY adjustments to start the second half. To wit:
----Why not onside kick after the Ginn TD?
----Why not run the ball down Florida's throat after doing so in the 64-yard TD drive?
----Why NOT challenge the horrible spot on the 4th down play at your 30?
----Down 20 to open the 2nd half, why not go 2-minute drill right off the bat? Hell you probably get Troy Smith into a groove then.

I could go on, and on, but why??????

Florida played nearly error-free football last night. Ohio State needed an interception, a fumble, something to serve as a fulcrum on which to shift momentum.

They never got it. Florida got the breaks instead.

I just watched much of the game again. Ohio State had life in the second quarter.

The quick Gator touchdown following the Troy Smith fumble inside the ten yard line was the punch that put Ohio State on the ropes. Almost all the life went out of them at that point.

Ohio State had some good defensive stops in the third quarter, but Florida matched the Buckeye's stout defense with their own.
