    Owen tends to put his 2nd string punter in to QB… when things initially go poorly….    His words not mine….The old tried n true coaching method.    I did think it was odd that OSU COACH ….DIDNT  call his final timeout with Texas on the 2-3 ish yard line… and 1:24  ish on the clock.. and let them score…. Dion S team went down with 140 ish left week earlier… no timeouts… scored a td…    I know there is a lot going on in those moments… but since a field goal wins it….   My 2 cents….ill be looking for coach owen soon possibly……to pop up on the screen… he’ll know what to do.

    You don't go from #4 to #1 by winning at home by one point when #2 and #3 win big.  

    Texas looked sloppy.  OSU had a bad 4th quarter.  

    Neither team was great.

    Amazing how many people seem to forget there are 4 quarters in a football game.

     Yes incredible comeback.. manning did throw some great passes that were dropped .. however .. still don’t see him being good in NFL… 1 comeback win vs number 1 team in nation doesn’t erase a lot of bad games he has produced .. epic comeback though !

    I wouldn't get caught up in the ranking hoopla until it matters after Week 9 roughly .... that said, perception does matter on early position and how far some teams can slide

     

    Last year, no one made the PLAYOFF with 3 losses 

    Proving is hard. Talk is easy.

    If you beat the #1 in the country, the way they did it, you are #1…
