BCS Bowl Notes

5. This is over. I'm off to do better things. I'll have more thoughts tomorrow.

4. Troy Smith says "Ohio State brings out the best in us" in Ohio State's commercial. Worst. Timing. Ever.

3. Troy Smith fumbles and this is going to get out of hand. 34-14. This is a sound ass whippin'. Actually, Ohio State is lucky it isn't worse. You can see Urban holding back a grin in the halftime interview. He's thirty minutes from a ring.

2. Hetland makes a field goal to get the jean shorts up by ten. I admit that I didn't watch many Ohio State games this year, but I can't believe this was a team everyone thought was going to kill Florida. They look like the cliche Big Ten team: slow, plodding, and clumsy. UF's Percy Harvin is running circles around them. Tressell is going for it on 4th and 1 and he didn't get it. Ball game. Book it.

1. At 14:40 in the second, this game looks over. Ohio State, other than the opening kickoff, looks rattled. Their defense looks confused and weak. UF hasn't had one bad play. Not an incompletion, not a run for a loss. Nothing. They look flawless.

Troy Smith is on the verge of a Heisemennish game, already throwing a pick. OSU needs a score bad and they just got it, albeit aided by UF penalties. Sweatervest 14, Jean Shorts 21.
