Nope. They scored 41. We didn't have an OLine tonight. Teddy may have helped us a little, but we still would have lost by at least 3 td's. This sucks. Worst feeling I've ever had as a Buckeye fan. Not of disappointment in the troops. It's more frustration. These opportunities are just so rare. Who knows when we'll get back to the National Championship again? This season sure was fun though.

Exactly.

I'm more embarrassed now. I was pissed earlier, but it's turning to more embarrassment now.

I just hope that Teddy's foot isn't that badly injured and that he'll be able to play at a high level again either in the pros or for OHio State next year.

Congrats to the Gators. They came ready to play tonight, we didnt. They outplayed and outcoached us in every facet (sp) of the game. How can we hang our heads though? We went 12-0, won the big 10, beat Michigan.......that is what I call a sucessful season. Can't expect to win them all. Already can't wait for next season.

I never thought I'd say this about a Tressel-coached team, but I honestly think that the players and coaches came out with the attitude that we'd win this game easily. Anyone else think so?

Yes.

I think just about all of us here would agree with you.

Absolutely devastating loss. My life will be hell down here for a long time.

Silver lining is Tress stays under contract.

BTW congrats to the gators, they just pounded us.

I have to agree to a certain extent....to me, it just looked like we didn't take Florida's ability to defend our offense seriously. Even Troy.....had to be shocked. So many times he scrambled and made a huge play this year...but to be sacked and pounded like he was..had to be a shock.

I'm hoping they use it to humble themselves and put their nose to the grindstone in the offseason. Next year was going to be rough anyway, with a new QB and possibly losing Ginn, Pittman, and Gonzo. Gotta look at the bright side, there should be no overconfidence issues leading into next season and maybe Pittman and Gonzo will decide to come back afterall.

Ginn may after-all come back. Depends on the extent of his injury. If he needs surgery he may opt to come back and up his draft stock for next year.

That said, you're right, this can only serve to humble the players on this team.

I am kinda worried about one thing though. With the exception of Oklahoma - teams that have lose in a devastating fashion like this have taken a bit of time to recover, or haven't recovered at all, like Nebraska. Oklahoma has struggled, but they haven't fallen completely apart.

If Ohio State can come back, get into a New Year's day bowl next year, I'll be happy, of course I'll take whatever I can get too :wink2:

I don't know if somebody already said this, but when they showed Troy on the pregame, I told my wife that he looked like he was sick...sweating like he had a fever and had a different look in his eyes. Anybody heard anything about the flu going around?

The zone D and not running at all I think killed us...

Our defense was especially surprising to me. All week long everyone talked about how Leak is mistake prone if you put pressure on him, yet it seemed like we had absolutely no pass rush all night, and most of the time were only rushing 3-4 guys. I didn't understand that strategy at all.

This is a re"newed" feeling for us as Buckeye fans. This was an unprepared team who choked away a chance at doing many noteworthy things. I felt like I was living in the 90's again watching Cooper coached teams laying goose eggs against scUM and MSU when it shouldn't have been close. We got beat at what OSU does... get physical and pound the ball.

That being said, congrats to UF... the better team def won tonight.


It's embarrassing for sure... past the anger...

BUT let us not forget the accomplishments of this season, this team and remain thankful for the memories the seniors have given to us.
