Game Thread FIESTA BOWL: tOSU 21, Texas 24 (01-05-09)

bogus PI if you take into account we haven't gotten one, and an awful roughing penalty.

Stupid idea to re-try......should take it on the kick-off.

 

[Jake]

Two 4th downs and 2 penalties - one of them a terrible call - and they get 7.

Had chances for stops but couldn't do it. Offense must respond.

God dammit that is what I am talking about in taking chances. Pete Carroll, Urban Meyer have confidence in their team and go for it. What has Texas done so far; gone for it 3 times on 4th down as far as I can see. Being conservative may win in the Big Ten, but you need to have some balls in these big games :(

 

[ProudBuck67]

More Officiating BULLSHIT!

 

[OregonBuckeye]

That's bullshit. Quit babying Colt McCoy. Same crap happened to Jay Richardson in '06 and that cost us a td too.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Qbs will be wearing flags soon

 

[norton]

hmmmmm well i said something about this earlier

 

[OCBucksFan]

Ref assisted touchdown, need to respond and play with a little more discipline.

 

[CookyPuss]

Tress is fired up like I've never seen him. LET'S GO BUCKS!!!!!!!

 

[billmac91]

damn.

he makes the Point after even after the 10 yard penalty.

Am I wrong in assuming tOSU has the right to asses that on the kick-off?

calm down. We haven't even had the ball this half.

Nor have we had obvious "go for it" situations like Texas had.

It's fine.

I only saw one chance for us that applies - the 4th and 2 before the second FG attempt. I thought we should go then but there really haven't been other times like that to take chances.

 

[pokey]

10-6. looks like the Penn State game again. Hopefully, the outcome will be different.

 

[buckeyebri]

Defense has to stop Colt running the next time out......If the referee can't see the play then don't throw the flag...

Exactly.
