I'm not a bIg NCAA football fan, but because of all the hype on this game, I will tune in. Should be a great game.
28-14 at half time. This coaching staff is calling all the right plays at all the right times. Troy Smith is playing nice, spreading the ball around real well. This whole offense is just clicking right now. The defense was playing good, that one pass intereference call hurt the Ohio State team. I'm hoping Ohio State destroys Michigan, and no one wants to see this game again, so it makes Florida have that much better chances of playing in the national title game if they win out.
Troy Smith is amazing. His QB vision and accuray are uncanny. He continuously finds open WR's. Ted Ginn is an amazing WR too. I like the Buckeyes alot.
God I've been dying for this game the whole week. Ohio State has been great so far. Troy Smith is showing a ton of maturity out there and already has 3 td passes at halftime and no interceptions or turnovers. He's 21-26 so far and already has thrown 243 yds. Incredible game for him so far. There recieving has also been great so far. Ted Ginn Jr. has 6 receptions for 74 yds so far w/ a td and Robiskie and Gonzalez have also been very impressive so far. Also Ohio is 4-5 on 3rd down conversions so far. As for their defense it has been very impressive so far. They have sacked Henne 3 times for a combined loss of 31 yds. They've been barely been letting Michigan have any rushing game so far, but Michigans recievers have been doing well so far. Great game though so far.
Ohio state with a huge fumble, on a bad snap, but Troy Smith should have been paying attention enough to grab that ball. Ohio State is not executing as well in the second half as they did the first, and not putting this game away. That's never good, allowing a team to hang around often times gives them confidence and works bad for your team. That was BS, that was completely a touchdown, those refs just want to make the crowd happy.
Mike Hart of Michigan is having a huge running game. He is so quick. On one drive, he had two very big runs, and then ended up with the TD. Now he just got another one. 35-31 Buckeyes. This will be a great finish!
That was a huge catch by Robiskie at a huge point in the game. Nice job by him, and a good throw by Smith to get him the ball there. Penalties at huge points in the game like this are never good, that was a huge mental error on that Michigan guys part.
I was in Columbus the whole day tailgaiting the game. It was crazy. I was upset that the blow out in the first half didn't continue in the second, but Ohio State won the game and is on the way to the national championship. Another win for OSU in one of the biggest rivalries in American sports and the biggest rivalry in college football. I don't think there is any team that can beat Ohio State this year.Troy Smith now has the hiesman in the bag, basically.
What a game. It was pretty fricken dumb, I was at a fall camp for a youth group, and they played the game, and then they stopped it in the fourth quarter with ten minutes to go, because the food was ready and we had to leave. So they said they would tape the game, and they did, but during dinner they announced the game final. It sucked because I covered my ears b/c I wanted to watch it, but I could still here him and see all the OSU fans chanting O-H......I-O. But, good effort by both teams, I personally think there should be a rematch. A 3 Point Game! How can you not have a rematch? The two best teams in the nation!

Ohio State made some stupid mistakes they usually don't (like both those Datish bad snaps that Michigan ended up recovering) all that won't happen again. Jim Tressel has out coached Michigan 5-1, it will happen again if their is a rematch. I mean, for the sake of the Big Ten and the rivalry, it would be cool. But looking at the first half and the stupid mistakes by Ohio State in the second, that won't happen again and Ohio State will win as bad as they were on course to in the first half.Also, I was sitting in a Holiday Inn during the first half and then I went to the car with some other tailgaitors. Any college football fan would know that by me moving to such a different location, I changed the out come of the game. :winkglasses:
I think it is fair to say that these are the two best teams in the NCAA right now. But a rematch would be bull####. I dont think Michigan should be in the National Championship game. If you look at it logically, OSU has already beaten Michigan. Why should they have to do it AGAIN to prove they are the best team? If USC beats Notre Dame next weekend, we are going to have a OSU-USC National Title game. OSU by 13
