re: What Ohio State national championship loss was the worst for them?

LSU defensive line was totally destroyed by the last 2 games of the 07 season. This is the year the Auburn player tried to take out Glen Dorsey, who played hurt the rest of the year. Without Ricky coming back by the SEC championship game, LSU would not have won the OSU game.

OSU did not have a chance against LSU in 07, the score is not showing the speed difference on the field.

I called the final score as 41-24 long before the game, the final score was 38 - 24. It is only that close due to dl is very thin for LSU in that game.

LSU 2 other weak spots going into the game were LB and S, both players were replaced early in the game, not long after OSU was up 10-3. Sanders (LB) had been hurt many times before his Sr. season at LSU and played hurt much of 07 season, he was replaced after another injury in the game.

OSU was up 10-0, when LSU took control of the game and the clock; out scoring OSU 38-14 the last 54:12 of the game. 65 yards of OSU offense comes on the first TD of the game to put OSU up 7-0.
