Ohio State intercepted the 2point conversion and retuned it for 2 points so OSU is now up 31-27

OnBaseMachine · 09-05-2009, 03:04 PM

OSU won 31-27.

OnBaseMachine · 09-05-2009, 03:13 PM

Northern Iowa trails #22 Iowa 17-16 with 29 seconds left and Northern Iowa has a first down at the Iowa 35...

So much for getting ready for USC.

Pryor's just an amazing athlete to watch, though.

OnBaseMachine · 09-05-2009, 03:15 PM

First down at the Iowa 23 with 18 seconds remaining...

OnBaseMachine · 09-05-2009, 03:17 PM

Northern Iowa misses a 40 yard FG attempt with one second remaining. Iowa barely survives.

In all fairness, Iowa blocked that kick.

Great play by Iowa to seal the W as opposed to a choke by the NIU kicker.

OnBaseMachine · 09-05-2009, 03:20 PM

Not so fast. An Iowa player may have touched the ball and Northern Iowa recovered. Shades of Leon Lett. The play is currently under review.

Highlifeman21 · 09-05-2009, 03:21 PM

Meanwhile, Syracuse is doing their best job to give this game to Minnesota with under 2 to go in the game.

OnBaseMachine · 09-05-2009, 03:24 PM

Wow. NIU got another chance and the kick was blocked again. Iowa wins 17-16.

Methinks NIU will spend some time in practice this week working on FG blocking protection.

Free football in Syracuse, this game's goin' to OT.

Golden Gophers pick off Paulus in endzone

This one should be over.

Tressel's strength is game management. Sometimes I don't have my best day at work, today, Tressel had one of his poorer days at work. Here are my obvious disagreements with game management today, which is the only reason the game was close:

1) Up 17-7, bringing in Bowserman. Chance to put the game away, and in fairness, he did drive the team to a FG, but not the time or place. If your playing a lower division MAC team maybe, but with this young team, just a horrible decision.

2) Up 20-7, just watched Navy run three plays for negative yardage, get the ball on the 42, and end up punting from their own territory. Perfect time for the home run ball, not one home run ball was thrown all day.

3) I was fine going for it up 29-14, but the 3rd and 4th down plays were totally unimaginative and predictable. Terrell Pryor's skills have to be used there for something other than handing the ball off.

This was all poor game management, almost as bad as Marvin Lewis. I expect more out of Tressel, guess he just didn't get one break out of the close calls, all of which made him look bad.

Of course, there is always more second guessing, but those were the key blown decisions I noticed immediately.
