31-10 Fake Punt

OSU runs a fake punt with 9 minutes to go in the fourth quarter up by 21. Classy.

Can't move the ball on PSU so you take it out on Northwestern.

I think I understand where Tressel was coming from on that though...it was only a 3 possession game...I had more of a problem with the bomb thrown right after that. As for the final touchdown that they scored, even Tressell had a disgusted look on his face.

I know I am mainly nitpicking because I dislike OSU but I would have been fine with it if they ran the clock down after that.

I think what you saw today was a bit of frustration for being constantly criticized for not being aggressive enough this year on the offensive playcalling and not letting loose.

He probably shouldn't have dialed up a 40 yard touchdown pass right afterwards but then again Northwestern should have stopped it. The same with the last touchdown, but if you saw the game JT was a little upset that they scored. He just ran a simple run up the middle to get the 2nd team some work and Herron made a hell of a run to the end zone.

I quit watching after the fake punt so I can't speak for the last TD.

Pryor made some ridiculous plays though. 99% of Qbs would have been sacked on that one TD.

I know exactly what you're talking about...that was pretty freaking amazing!

He is going to be a good one. I just wish he wouldn't listen to JT when it comes to purposely underthrowing the deep ball. JT tells them to underthrow it to avoid the pick but it can be picked just as easily if underthrown. I don't undertstand the thinking. Why not try to throw it pefrectly so the receiver has a chance to do something with it if he catches it.

One name to look for next year..Jamall Berry. He may come in and take over at RB right away (assuming Beanie is gone).
