Championship Halftime

At 24-10 at half, the game is probably over. In the 2nd quarter, the Buckeyes made every possible bad decision they could:

• Robiskie drops a touchdown in the end zone.
• The blocked field goal when they should have run a fake.
• Not running the ball enough when Wells is ripping one long run after another.
• Allowing Boeckman to throw long.
• Ghostly personal foul penalties from the homer-friendly referees.
• Over pursuit against yet another spread offense.
• Kicking field goals when you must score points.
  

You can blame the players if you want, but I think Tressel misread what was happening when they had the early lead.
