Here is the problem I had with the call. You line up in a specific formation, run 9 in motion and OSU calls time out because they wanted to see formation and make adjustments. Then after the time out you go out in same formation, same motion, same play. OSU had all three trips blanketed.
Just seems they should have adjusted based on Meyer's adjustment, IMO.
As for going for 1 or 2 I can see both sides or argument.

All things being equal, shoot a layup for tie and OT or shoot the 3 for the win, I'll take the layup. And it doesn't matter what my record is, it is about winning this particular game, and OT was a very attractive option here, more attractive than a post-time out, do or die play.
Again, I think Hoke was playing the hero here.

Of course, the backup kicker may have blown the extra point kick too.

Alabama got away with some holding in the end zone on that long pass play.

Talking SEC football in the OSU thread is like Cardinal fans coming to Redszone.
