Having not seen much of OSU playing this year are they running the plays they normally run? I have not seen anything surprising with the gators play calling with the exception of the Tebow pass. The gator defense is playing normal compared to the rest of the year. What has OSU done in past games that was very effective?

Protect the passer.

Time to take a breath. We're doing better than the score suggests.

Florida's offense scored 3 TD's in the first quarter. After that, our defense held Florida to 2 fieldgoals. The defense will hold in the second half... and if not for that freak Troy Smith fumble, the score would be considerably closer than it is.

It's going to be tough, but the Bucks might still pull it off.

Heacock should be especially ashamed of himself for coming out and being so conservative. His game plan looked like he was hoping not to get beat rather than be pinning the ears back and going after Leak. That was a terrible mistake. Leak can very easily get rattled and they are just laying back playing zone. What a shame.

2 field goals and a touchdown.
20 point difference at the half.
There are 30 minutes left, but getting up off the mat and winning this thing will be a monumental achievement.

bottom line is we're giving them points.... they've started 5 of their drives INSIDE our territory... They've only earned 10 of their points. I don't care if Troy is the Heisman winner, we need to run the ball. Why in the hell do we go away from the run after we make it 14-21 by RUNNING the ball down the field?? So far Ohio State is being out played, Out coached (VERY BADLY), and definatly out hustled. This is apparent that Florida wants this, and to be honest I'm not very upset because we're getting destroyed. We're running into a buzz saw but lets just hope someone says something at half time and gets this team to finish strong. awful awful awful gameplan on both offense and defense. Totally upset with the coaches gameplan and the way they're handling it.... un-believeable.

I think Urbans attack on offense is brilliant.. theres no way you can play tight if you run that offense. Where as we are just un-creative and so predicatable. Well lets just hope this don't get ugly.... GO BUCKS...

Alright everybody take a step back and breathe.

First of all, I think Tressel did just a horrible job of coaching in the first half. Going for it on 4th down was terrible. Why didn't he try to run the ball more? It just seemed like he never did any damage control. I might have just ran the clock out instead of letting Smith try to throw, then he fumbled.

Can't do anything about the first half, you have to move on.

The D has to come out and make a stop. It HAS to. If you can go get a stop, and a TD then you can relax and play your game. YOU HAVE TO GET A STOP.
Unless his ankle is broken, Ginn has to attempt to play. He has to.
Run the ball. You still have 30 minutes. You have to get more balance on offense.

I know it looks bleek, but it's not over. You have to play with a sense of urgency, but don't panic.
