Game Thread Game Two: Texas 25, Ohio State 22 (final)

[jwinslow]

Here is troy's decision making:

3rd drive: 3 qb draw, 10 qb draw, 4 qb draw, sets up FG
4th drive: pass inc, pittman rush, two pass inc, pittman rush, pass to gonzo 1st down, 11 qb draw, pittman rush, 7 qb draw, TD pass holmes
5th drive: 4 qb draw, 3 qb draw, sacked, sets up FG
6th drive: sacked, pass to hall, pass to gonzo 1st down, pass inc, holmes 1st down, -2 qb draw, 2 pass inc, FG
7th drive: pittman option, pass inc, 0 qb draw, FG
9th drive: pittman rush, ginn reverse, 4 qb draw, punt

3,4 = great
5 = average
6 = pretty good until redzone
7 = poor
9 = bad play calling (hindsight is 20-20)

Tressel said in the press conference yesterday that 2 or 3 QB runs for Smith were called.

Were not called as in scrambles. The rest were called. I know with all these dang quotes going around it is getting confusing.

No he made it pretty clear he wasn't talking about scrambles or sacks, but designed runs. Only 2 or 3.

Well you were right.

"There might have been a couple more quarterback design runs, but there were only two or three of those.”

I was told Smith's audibles were a major part in the decision to give JZ the final drive. TTFWIW

Nah. You shopped that one...

For the record I did not alter that image (Gonzo) or any others beyond cropping them and putting them into a single jpg of reasonable size.

Found this over on BSB. I'm sure it's at least partially incidental, but I have a newfound sympathy for JZ

Hornfans posters admitting they thought our LBs were overrated beforehand, and stating how wrong they were.

Your linebackers (Hawk especially) were badass. I knew that going into the game, but an argument can be made that Hawk was the best player on the field.

personally i thought vince young was the most dynamic player on the field. i was impressed with his arm.
