Canada should have saved that one in case the turtles need it next week at Penn State......
Listen to THIS.... Just in case you don't believe in sports superstitions:
I couldn't wear my regular tOSU outfit to work today because it was too cold. I figured, I'll change when the game starts. Blah Blah Blah.... get distracted with work/start to have a meltdown/forgot about the clothes.
Suddenly remembered.
Ran upstairs to the ladies room. Never stripped down faster in my life. Quickly put the tOSU outfit on just as Xaryland kicked the extra point 1:20 4th Q 45-38.
Sat there and watched in my "regular outfit" until we won that motherfucker.
YOU'RE WELCOME BUCKEYE COUNTRY (and sorry I didn't change earlier)

Pros:
- We won despite it being an overall shit show plagued by questionable calls and laughable D, with bad officiating for the cherry on top. It takes a lot for me to complain about officiating because bad/missed calls are part of the game and usually cuts both ways, but some of those refs shouldn't even be officiating pop warner.
- UFM showed he has a giant set of balls (that 4th and 1 in OT... with that play, I couldn't have made that call).
Cons:
- Our D, short of some key moments, looked like a clown show, which has been a truer identity than any other this season.
- This win may allow Schiano and other staff that are blowing it to stick around another season, because had they lost I think it there would be a much higher probability of some changes.
- If we beat SCUM, and assuming we can beat NW, with being a 1 loss division champ there is a decent change we may end up in the CFP where we have no business being when we have been getting gashed by weak offenses all season to varying degrees. As much I would love to make the playoffs I think we're bad enough that I would rather get left out this year and cash that check when we can confidently compete with best and avoid a Clemson sequel.
- Urban is going to need to spend some of that game check on a wheelbarrow for said balls.

Look how close Ohio State came to losing to Maryland (a few times)
The QB missing an open receiver in the end zone on the decisive two-point try was the tip of the spear.
The play everyone will talk about, fairly, is the last one.
Ohio State got the ball first in overtime and scored a touchdown. Maryland answered by scoring its own TD in two plays. Then Matt Canada, the Terps’ interim coach, decided to go for the win right then and there. The two-pointer that could’ve won the game didn’t, because Tyrrell Pigrome’s pass to an open Jeshaun Jones fell incomplete.
Pigrome messed up. Jones was standing with nobody that close to him in the end zone, and the quarterback’s pass flew past him, uncatchable off to Jones’ left.
ESPN’s commentators and a lot of people who watched the play live (including me) immediately remarked that Maryland must’ve had a great play design here. That might have been true, but it’s not that the Terps did anything schematically brilliant. Pigrome had the option to pitch a shovel pass to a trailing running back, who’d started the play to his left, but that back probably would’ve gotten tackled short by a charging linebacker.
The reason the play was open was that Ohio State’s defensive backs screwed up, too. Maryland had three receivers lined up to the right side of the formation. Two of them ran to the flat, but all three Buckeye DBs in that area followed those two guys.
That left Jones wide open, only with a linebacker between him and Pigrome:

The throw wasn’t as easy as it looked on live television. Tuf Borland was sort of close to being in the way. But Pigrome had room to find Jones, especially with Borland flowing toward the sideline as he chased the quarterback. Ohio State was incredibly fortunate that Pigrome didn’t make a better throw. If he had, Maryland would’ve won, and the reason would’ve been that Ohio State’s defense didn’t communicate at the goal line.

Good analysis.
