Apparently scoring a two minute drill td on a short field to go up by three means you outplayed the other team the entire half. Especially when the other team has a missed field goal.

What happened to my ¤cash?
I dunno about a D... I thought that was solid B level work right there. He managed to synthesize two sources of pain (Hairball bolting and the memory of Hoke) in a way that acknowledges how recent it was that they thought their last *ichigan *an savior fell flat on his fat ass.
And did so in a way to make everyone who reads it pause to consider the possibility...
Hell, in some places that kind of work might get you an A-.

It was 168 to 98 in favor of tsun in terms of total yards for the first half and the score would have been 10-10 but for the easy FG missed.
OSU was "outplayed" in terms of field position, of that there can be no doubt. tsun's 17 points in regulation came off drives that started at their 37, 45 and OSU 22 respectively.
OSU had 3 separate drives (77,72,61) that covered a longer distance than the longest tsun drive of the day (55). OSU scored 3 points off those 3 drives.
So when people imply that OSU got lucky on the two INT's that led to 14 points I would make the argument that it was luck evening out for the three long drives that saw two missed chip shot FG's from a normally reliable kicker.

A 37-yarder isn't a given, even for a kicker who had been as reliable as Durbin was. A miss from 21 yards, however, is inexcusable. Also, my reply was in response to a claim that we didn't get outplayed in the third quarter and that the missed FG was a factor (it wasn't, since it wasn't in the third quarter).

I never really saw it this way, but you are right. The one thing I did see the entire game that was so frustrating was the field position battle that we consistently were "behind" in. Somehow, for a variety of reasons - some self inflicted and some because TTUN did some things well in special
teams - we were losing the field position battle with the exception of the turnovers. It was maddening.

Both offenses were absolute messes for a large majority of the game. Or, I guess you could argue that both defenses played pretty exceptional games.
On second viewing, I didn't feel we were "outplayed" all that much. The difference for the first 3+ quarters was that scUM had capitalized on their opportunities slightly better than tOSU. However, scUM wasted multiple opportunities to put the game away before the fourth quarter, and when the chips were down, our boys woke up and answered the call, where scUM went into a shell and essentially gave the game away. They were tight and mistake prone in crunchtime...almost like they could sense the inevitability of it. That's a product of their coach, and a direct contradiction to what the Harbrau was supposed to bring. Our guys played loose and confident. That's a product of our coach.
We outplayed them SIGNIFICANTLY when it counted.
EDIT- and Harbrau's little temper-tantrum that resulted in the penalty was a very tangible turning point in the game. You could sense the wheels coming off the wagon as soon as he chucked his headset.

I can agree with most of your post, but a 37-yarder is never a "chip-shot". He did pick a poor time to miss his first FG of the year from inside 40 yards...
