the Hoosiers were elite in the red zone, highlighted by a fourth-and-1 stop at their own 5 late in the third quarter.

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.

I still think Ohio State is the team to beat. This will just make them more determined.

A very, very dumb move.

But they did kick the field goal. They just missed.

Personally, I think the smart play there at the end was to go for the first down/touchdown. Even a successful field goal would have resulted in Indiana getting the ball back with time to spare, and the buckeyes could have lost that way. Or they could have lost an overtime even if they had made the field goal.
