Watching this again, cuz why not?

The first 4 Buckeyes TD drives took exactly 3 minutes. A total of 3 minutes for 28 points. If there was ever evidence of what a useless stat that time-of-possession is, that‘s it.

Also, Dan Lanning punted 2 or 3 times when he should have gone for it. The Buckeyes were racking up points, and he decided to keep giving the ball back to that offense. Thanks, Dan.

In the middle of the second quarter, average yards per pass attempt: Buckeyes: 18.2, Ducks: 3.5. I dont think I’ve ever enjoyed a quarter and a half of football as much as this Rose Bowl.

Watching it live I thought Oregon was throwing the game with as many bad decisions as they were making.

Watching it over the last few months and I sort of still feel the same way lol.

I get the fear that they’d get stopped and give us great field position if they went for it on 4th and failed but the alternative was a 1 play 65 yard touchdown down drive anyways
