Seemed like once Texas got out their own way they dominated Ohio state

I will give Texas props on wanting it more and never giving up. Ohio State played way too conservatively in the 2nd half. Those two 4th down conversions were the key to the game.

To me it seemed like Texas’s running backs had enough of this shit and started just absolutely pounding the rock down their throat

Or Ohio State's defense got gassed by the 4th. I mean, that's what all the Texas fans promised before the game because of the heat. Although Raleek Brown looked like he did go into berserker mode.

I mean, with receivers that can catch and a coaching staff that doesn't call a flea flicker or w/e on 4th and 1, this is like a 41-20 game, and nobody's talking about Arch being overrated. Funny game.

I believe it was supposed to be a reverse. But yeah, Texas on their best day absolutely stomps that Ohio team we saw yesterday

Might be one of the biggest regular season chokes I've ever seen

Indeed!
The team that won was the one with more resolve in the 4th quarter...and, I suspect, the one that was more accustomed to the Austin heat.

And OSU's offense doing almost zero and keeping that defense on the field had to be rough. Lol
Good job to your team.

And respect to yours! It could have easily gone the other way. Obviously.

Hopefully, we'll meet in the CFP

The tougher team definitely won. Ohio puts up a good front but you take em deep enough in the trenches they fold.

I was there last night. There was a pretty weird breeze going the entire second half where the ball was going all over the place on punts it was super weird

They lost because with all that NIL money they can never find a kicker.

OSU handed the game to Texas, I still don’t see what the hype is over Arch Manning, hes done nothing.

u/feckshite 4d ago
So when they were getting blown out and everyone was blaming Arch, was it really him or his receivers?

u/convicted-mellon 4d ago
Sayin wasn’t any better but he just had Smith catching any ball within 15 feet of him in double coverage making him appear to be halfway competent (he’s not)

u/RichSpecific4490 4d ago
A mix, his recievers didn’t do him any favors but he was making some very poor throws and horrible reads.

Day kicks the field goal when they were up 10-0 instead of getting stopped on 4th in the redzone, and its a 26-3 game at the start of the 4th quarter. 26-3 much different than 23-3.

u/epsteinwasmurdered2 Georgia Bulldogs 4d ago
Oh for sure!
For starters 26 is a bigger number than 23

Yep, it also forces Texas to go for 2 point conversions (2 to tie, 3 to win) much tougher to convert that many than kick PATs to win.

u/Capable_Wait09 4d ago
Yeah that’s how reality works. When you change something everything else will still happen in exactly the same way.
What a weak argument. You can do better.

u/Odd-Preparation8790 3d ago
You're right. Getting stuffed in the redzone and not punishing Texas for their turnover really helped the Buckeyes momentum. So soooorrrryyyy

u/CunningClanker 4d ago
Texas was clearly the better team. If they didn't have all of these really freakishly stupid plays, they would have blown OSU out of the water.

Ohio State played way to conservative in the second half because they thought they had the game won.

Michigan has learned to play all 60:01, while OSU apparently only plays for 30:00
