Do you have access to WatchESPN? I'd check BTN and ESPN classic as well.

ESPN had been replaying selected games several times during the following week, throughout the season, so I'd be surprised if they didn't do that with both semi-final games. I also forgot to DVR it, but I'm confident the game will be rebroadcast several times before the NCG.

EDIT: First rebroadcast is 3:00 am Tuesday...set your DVR.

GAME OBSERVATIONS:

tOSU may have the best OL in CFB

tOSU definitely has the most underrated RB in CFB

tOSU has the most physical WR’s in CFB (I thought sitting Devin on occasions so they could use Noah Brown as a blocker was brilliant. Noah weighs in the 240 lb. range)

The best WR on the field last night was Devin Smith

The best RB on the field last night was EE

The best OL on the field last night was tOSU

The best LB on the field last night was D. Lee

The best DL on the field last night was tOSU

The best Secondary on the field last night was tOSU

The most physical team on the field last night was tOSU

The fastest team on the field last night was tOSU

The best HC on the field last night was Urban Meyer

The 3rd string Sophmore QB for tOSU was better than a 5th year Senior for Bama

The best cover guy on special teams was tOSU Corey Smith who played lights out


The ONLY area that tOSU was not better at was overall special teams. Especially the punter. The Bama punter is a phenom. Bama won the field position battle for sure. Credit to our Defense for stepping up.

tOSU played the best 3rd down defense that I think I have ever seen them play against a quality opponent. This was against the #1 team in the nation who were one of the best in 3rd down conversions. This was THE STORY of the night.

GO BUCKS beat the Ducks!
