  Luckeyes:
  
  1. Five players who shouldnt of played

  We can debate this all night, but the fact is that they did play.

  cats gone wild;626935 wrote:2. Five Arkansas players couldnt pick up a blocked punt and walk the ball into the endzone.

  Yes we caught a good break on that, but making mistakes are part of the game.
  

  cats gone wild;626935 wrote:3. Mallet throws 46 straight passes without a int, but threw one when it mattered most

  We also dropped two interception before that, and Mallet was barely over 50% for completions on the night. We ran a zone blitz and Mallet got rushed and misread it. That's called good defense, that's not lucky. Besides this is the same thing he did in the Alabama game, so it's par for the course when he is under pressure.
  

  cats gone wild;626935 wrote:4. 6 dropped balls by Ark

  Again, we dropped some interceptions, but drops are part of the game. Besides some of those drops were horrible and some were because Mallet was throwing it too hard when he didn't need to.
  

  cats gone wild;626935 wrote:5. the OSU fumble recovery in the endzone

  Again we caught a break but we made the play and they didn't.
  

  cats gone wild;626935 wrote:6. the holding call on Arkansas with 5 minutes to go when they were in OSU territory

  Seriously? They commit a penalty, get called for it, and it's lucky? We had a first down negated at the end of the third quarter because of a holding. When the refs make the right call( as with both cases) it's not lucky, it's just football.

  cats gone wild;626935 wrote:7. the lucky catch with the OSU players legs.

  What catch are you reffering to? Are you talking about Sanzenbacher's touchdown? He ran a good route, had a good pass thrown to him, and made a good catch. That's not lucky. That's making a play.
  
  You are really grasping for straws here. Some of your so called "lucky" plays are just solid football plays. Anyways,we did catch some breaks, but you fail to mention the breaks that Arkansas got as well. That is what sports is all about. It's about taking advantage of the opportunities available and Ohio State did that.

  Yup, and you don't see me waving around my "Victory Fingers" or chanting "Fight ON!" over and over obnoxiously, do you? Thanks for pointing that out though

  great post--too bad the frickin' retard won't comprehend it
• SportsAndLady

  

  I think of "Luck" in a football game as a defender going to catch an interception, deflecting it, and the offensive player standing behind him catching the deflection for an easy TD...I don't think of a hustle play to fall on the ball in the endzone, 5 players who were suspended for next season's games able to play in this one, a QB throwing an INT right to a defensive player, a holding call, or a touchdown catch using your legs to trap the ball as "luck".
• Tiernan

  I'll take a win even if it was over a "not really SEC" team. I still would have preferred Tress start other players in place of the Tat - 5 and see where the back-ups might have gone. All the apologizing to "Buckeye Nation" by Pryor after the game was so obviously staged it made him even more pathetic. It will take awhile (read...never) for me to forgive & forget these dildos but a win this morning felt way better than what a last minute loss would have.

  I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed more. IMO, it did more harm than good. It seemed patronizing, whether it was meant that way or not---but he still played a pretty damn good football game.
• CinciX12

  

  Buckeye nation..buckeye fans..uh..yeah..we all 5 sorry.
  
  1 sincere heartfelt apology is worth a lot more than 50 that don't have any meaning.

  How many ND starters (key players) were injured this season and missed that game? Sorry, but the injury card was the wrong one to play there. Starting QB, starting RB, starting TE (All-American), starting WR, starting NT. And it was at USC. A win is a win.....just like it was last night for OSU.

  More like JT couldn't call too much because of the poor field position the Buckeyes had most of the second half, due mostly to the great punts by Arkansas. That guy was unreal.
  
  Also, Ohio State did not get the benefit of ANY calls (the safety that wasn't, and the fumble recovery they gave back to Arkansas are just two critical ones).
  
  It was just that kind of half, and with it being basically a home game for Arkansas, the crowd fueled them on as it got closer and closer.
  
  Fortunately, the Buckeyes found a way to win.

  He apologizes, you say he doesn't mean it, but if he doesn't apologize, you would probably complain about that too. We get it. You have decided that a mistake made two years ago, one that is not that bad in the grand scheme of things, was some unforgivable offense. From your dramatic posts, it seems that you need to gain some perspective.

  LMAO...exactly...you saw what YOU wanted to see!! The above post is comical! Thanks for the laugh and admitting you have blinders!! Seeing that you don't think OSU players should be playing, then you would agree that Newton and your boy Riddle should not be playing as well, right? Good to know we see eye to eye on this.

  Agree. I don't put the second half on Pryor at all. Tress went his usual ultra conservative based on the lead and field position. Probably smart, but drove me nuts. So predictable on first down He wasn't going to take a chance throwing the ball around deep in own territory with that lead and the defense play pretty well.

  Almost everyone on this planet thought the buckeye players should miss the bowl game. Where were you the past couple weeks? Newton should NOT be aloud to play, where did you see I feel he should?. And who in the world is Riddle? Is he a new guy?

  Everyone on the planet? lol Ya, ok. More exaggerations. Honestly, I was torn on them playing. But I also believe half a season for what they did, was excessive. As I thought Greene from Georgia excessive as well . Although there were agent accusations involved with that situation.
  RIDLEY is the name!

  I notice you skipped a big word. I said "almost" everyone. Which is true. Alot of bucks fans felt the same also. I also agree about the 5 games being excessive and it should of been just the bowl game. I knew you were talking about Ridley, just giving you a hard time for being way-off on spelling.

  cats gone wild;626844 wrote:Sorry if you cant accept a congrats. Nobody else twisted my post. If you dont think you got lucky, then you didnt watch the game at all. Do you want me to point out ALL the luckiness?

  
  See below. You could point out all the "luckiness" for both sides. Fact is, better team won. End of story.

Yeah, we were lucky that Arkansas dropped passes, couldn't recover Pryor's fumble, and didn't scoop and score on the punt block. We were unlucky we couldn't hold on to a couple of interceptions, got the ball taken away from us on Davis' fumble, got a punt blocked, fumbled on the fourth and short, and had a late whistle on the safety. If you could not see that BOTH teams had some good and bad breaks, then I don't know what to tell you.
