It was after those two plays that I went from "no big deal, JT and Troy can get us right back in this" to "oh shit, we're in big trouble". It was like watching your dad get his ass beat in a fight or something...you can't believe it's happening.

Thats not true. JT was trying to swing momentum in the buckeye favor. He was looking for a way to get his team fired up and rally. As has been mentioned numerous times in this thread, he believed the defense would hold UF to 3 or less so he took a gamble.

I agreed with the call to go for it at the time, but I would have preferred to run that play to the left on 3rd down, and if you don't get it punt.

Strongly agree. I think another shot with Troy would have gotten us the yard. It's a lot tougher to try to hand off to a running back and expect him to bull through, it just gives the defense more time to get guys where they need to be and get their push. We get the first down, we could have been looking at a different game.

Calmer than you are.
First of all. Every replay that I saw it looked like Beanie had crossed the thirty, therefore, getting the first down. However, the QB sneak with a smallish QB, when Beanie is in the game, is not the way the 3rd down should've gone, imo. Punting on fourth down is how fourth down should've gone, imo.

How many titles does Meyer Got?
All I know is that Florida and the fans can say what they want. But we lost last night. I love my Buckeyes either way. But I hate in "Buckeye" forums about how some of our fans actually stick up for Florida.
Heres a stat:
National Titles
Tressel-5
Meyer-1
Tressel could of been all sad last night, laying in bed. When he went down to his kitchen to get something to eat he looked over at his trophy case and still found consellation in being "The Coach of The Year" a couple times and 5 national titles. I bet he just looked at them when ESPN was trashing him and his team. Gotta love Jimmy.

Hopefully they ( the coaches) learn from the oh so predictable I formation run of the f'in middle play., how about a fake to the FB and a quick pitch to Antonio., Anyway, I agree with the going for it., but OSU has got to change their predictable offense play calling. ( I formation - 5 spread).

Agree.
Yes, I understand the arguments against the call, but consider this: Teams/players "quit" mentally before they do so physically, and I believe that JT saw his players' focus/concentration slipping, and he was trying to get their heads back into the game by giving them a "manhood test". The fact that it didn't work doesn't change the logic behind the call.
Could JT have gotten his players "mentally right" during halftime? Maybe.... But nothing swings momentum in a team's favor better than having success on a crucial play in a tough situation, and JT was banking on the fact that his team could easily have come up with one yard, even on 4th-and-1 deep in their own territory.
A risky call, to be sure, but one that, if successful, might have turned the tide.
Then again, Florida played a Hell of a game, so that one play (whatever the call and result might have been) probably did not have make any discernable difference in the outcome.
