Because OSU missed a field goal and their receivers were getting winded in the 2nd half from catching so many wide open passes. Should have lost by at least 40.

Did anyone check to make sure that Willie Martinez was even there?

Because they went for the extra point kick instead of going for two after each touchdown....geez....it's all about the math (insert sarcasm here).

OSU finally played like a $20 million team and Ryan finally looked like the good coach he's supposedly been all this time.

As much fun as trolling is, Tennessee was just stuck on the tracks when the freight train came through

That is an accurate analogy for how UT's OL looked against OSU's defense. They were blocking like they were playing flag football.

Because Ohio State has spent 20 million dollars building this team. Tennessee has spent about 11 million on their team.

While that doesn't hurt...I think it's the $2 Million that OSU is paying Chip Kelly as their OC vs the $540K that UT is paying Willie Martinez to coach their secondary that really showed up here. Holding Will Howard to an 83% completion rate was freaking brilliant coaching. I don't know how much better his numbers would have been if he had been throwing against air.

The most talented team in the nation got pissed and finally played like the most talented team in the nation - at home.

no visiting team was getting out of that stadium with a win last Saturday -

worst thing that ever happened for the next OSU opponent was Bryan Day shitting up his back against Michigan again -

also - Chip Kelly is pretty good when he has more than a week to scout/game plan - unlike most regular season games -

it also didn't help UTK that its SEC leading rusher did not play -

I'm not sure the margin would have been any closer, but it was clear when the Buckeyes came out that your fambase had pissed them the frick off with your trolling and antics all week. Which was dumb. Do that shite AFTER you win.

Didn't seem to matter to a few other teams

Exactly. They played lights out. Howard was unconscious. He was making perfect throw after perfect throw.

This is the most accurate evaluation of the game I’ve seen so far.

Who Oregon? They are built by Nike NIL money. Michigan Ohio State coaches last night game by trying to run the ball still throwing it. And that’s a rival game. All bets are off on those games. If Ohio State can play the same way, they did against Tennessee. They will be your national championship team.

QB is the most important position and Tennessee WAAAY overpaid for an average QB. Most of the Vol roser is average to slightly above average. Ohio State has an above average QB and a roster filled with killers. The only person whop can stop Ohio State is Ryan Day.
