**I purposely waited this long to post my reply on this game so my emotions could calm down and I wouldn't come on here raging.**

That said, I'll give you information on myself so you can see where I am coming from.

I am 22 and I graduated from the UofA and now in Med School at OSU (Oklahoma State) got your hopes up didn't I?
I traveled to New Orleans and ATTENDED the game itself.
I did NOT, i repeat, i did NOT have a great view of the game, I was lower deck, but about 20 rows up in the endzone(the endzone Arkansas blocked your punt at)
I was drunk as balls at the game

(sorry if this is biased, i tried my best) :)
Key things i noticed about the Buckeyes.

Your offense came out in a more up tempo style than they had used all year...Completely shell shocking our defense the entire first half and we had no answer for it.

Sanzen is legit, enough said.

Heyward is a S-T-U-D. I thought him vs Love would be a GREAT matchh up but Heyward was some kind of demon that night and was insane.

I told every OSU fan I was concerned about TP shredding us in the run aspect just like every running QB we faced ALL season long. Every OSU player assured me TP doesn't run much..the 112 yards speak for itself.

Your team played flat the entire 2nd half, much like Arkansas in the first when i was saying WHAT THE HELL DID PETRINO FEED THESE KIDS? VODKA SPIKED CHICKEN?

Things I noticed about Arkansas
Ask any Arkansas fan what our strength is, they will say offense. Ask them in detail, they will say our WR's. Welp, they sucked it up, BIG TIME.We can only wonder "what if." Luckily, we only lose DJ.

Defense sucked a big buckeye the first half. Most will say the defense was a stud in the 2nd half...Well, OSU helped us out with their offense looking drunk in the 2nd half along with our defense realizing what had to be done. I also can not comment on the safety that happened as for I was pissing at the time.

Special teams for us was huge all night. We have a real winner in our FG kicker, Hocker(freshman). Our youth showed when we blocked the punt when the freshman fell on the ball, oh well, [Mark May] happens.


With that said, my friends and I had an amazing time in New Orleans and it was one HECK of a game. I sat next to a few OSU fans during the game and we heckled each other all game but in good fun and shook hands at the end of the game.

I look for OSU to be back up at the top next year as they are always. What most might not know is losing Mallett isn't all that bad for us. We return Knile Davis and every reciever except DJ. We don't lose much on defense really. Lets be real here, Mallett is not the brightest guy, his football IQ is low and has zero mobility. But he brings a BIG arm. Wilson is a little different, he has a higher football IQ for quicker reads and is mobility and doesn't bring the cannon Mallett had, but the kid can sling it.Throw that into a Petrino system...

With that I give you, Tyler Wilson.

You must have talked to some drunk Buckeyes before the game because TP is the all time leading rusher at the QB position in Ohio State history...so he does tend to run. He had close to 700 rushing yards before the game.


Also, OSU ran no huddle early in the season against the non-confrence opponents. JT didn't break it out too much in the conference season, but it was on tape...maybe Petrino concentrated on games later in the season for his prep.
