Ohio State took a 14-7 lead with 3:33 left in the 3rd quarter. At that point, OSU had 17+ minutes of possession to MSU's 24+. Our defense was apparently so exhausted at the point that Sparty proceeded to go 75 yards in 13 plays to tie the game without completing a single pass.

Nope, "leaving the defense out to dry" doesn't explain that, unless you want it to explain that. They lined up, ran it, and we didn't stop it. We lost on both sides of the ball. That's not the "scapegoat drum". Yelling Tim Beck! Tim Beck! Tim Beck! is the scapegoat drum.

For the record, I hope he's replaced. But I'm not buying the line that he's the only reason OSU lost to MSU. it's far too convenient.
Ohio State's defense played well the entire season while the offense struggled against all but the worst opponents, the body of work supports my position.

Two first downs in the second half, two first downs.

And the play that gave us the lead you cherish so much was a 1 play touchdown drive off a fumble, which gives the defense exactly zero rest.

Two first downs in the half.
