I just had the most satisfying gaming experience that I've had in a
very long time. Ohio State (me) on the road against Virginia Tech (random online cheeser dude). Picking up the action in the second quarter, Ohio State down 14-7.
Tyrod Taylor rolls out immediately after the snap
and finds a hotrouted
running back to make it 21-7.
Look familiar? Immediate rollout, hotrouted uncoverable route (if I pick man the RB beats my linebacker if I pick zone he finds the hole). Same play called, over and over and over...28-7 Hokies with 3 minutes left in the 3rd.
Then, things begin to change. Tressel decides to bring in Jermale Hines into the linebacker spot and man him up against the runningback. Hines' superior coverage skills curtails the cheesers 1 succesfull play, and the opponents head begins to explode. Numerous f-bombs dropped, moral victory scored for Merih :).
Moral victory, though, would not suffice. Terrelle Pryor heats up putting passes through the exposed defender (and their user's stick skills) and into the hand of his playmakers. And plays they made.
To begin the comeback Pryor hits Posey with a beautiful strike.
Notice how Pryor stays inside the pocket and doesn't scramble for no reason...what a novel concept! Posey does the damage from there 28-14 with 2 minutes left in the third.
A frustrated VaTech user goes three and out (using his "money" play, which has now gone bankrupt), and goes for it on fourth. Long story short, Ohio State ball. Two plays into the next drive, sweetness happens:
Pryor connects this time with Flash Thomas who continues on to embarass the stick skills of the opponent and take it to the house, bringing it to 28-21 with 30 seconds left in the 3rd.
At this time, the previously mention head-exploding has hit an alltime high for Mr. Cheeser, and the unnecessary scrambles and f-bombs reach a point upon which a rip in the space time continuum takes whats left of his sanity out the window...along with the win. A well timed corner blitz from Travis Howard hitting his blind rollout right in the mouth, ball on the ground pounced on by Thad Gibson. Ohio State ball, 3:30 left, on the VaTech 20. Handoff to Hyde rumbles to the five, where a rollout completion to Jake Ballard knots the game up at 28 a piece with 2:30 remaining.
For a minute, it seemed like sense came into the opponent as he ran and chewed up clock trying to position for a winning field goal. Its too bad that he couldn't, Ohio State ball on their own 30 by way of interception (Russell) with 48 seconds remaining.
Simple crossing routes got me past midfield and power running with timeouts to spare got me a 4th and 4 with 20 seconds left at the opponents 40. Can't kick from there. Pryor drops back to pass, evades the rush by sidestepping right and takes off upfield, met at the first down line and throws an omega stiff arm that kills the cornerback (he dead for real, mon) and picks up five more. 8 Seconds left setting up this:
If this was too long for you to read, I don't give a [censored], this defined my day now I'm ready to go out and enjoy my evening (ie drink).
