Bayou Beatdown

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Well Coach Tressel, shame on you. For the second straight year, the Buckeyes start the BCS Championship with a quick score, but then it's quickly downhill from there. Although not before Beanie Wells broke Archie Griffins school record for rushing yards by a sophomore. Kudos to him for a great season especially for a guy who played hurt the entire season. I actually thought Ohio State was going to come out and beat LSU despite LSU's obvious home field advantage. I thought Ohio State would come out and show the country that last year was a fluke, but instead they showed it was a trend. Once again the nation's top defense choked giving up 38 points. A big part of that was LSU converting 11 of their 18 third downs while Ohio State went 3 for 13. Plus Ohio State had almost twice as many penalty yards as LSU did, but other than that this game was pretty much statistically even. Ohio State even managed to gain more total yards that LSU. So Congratulations to the LSU Tigers...and maybe next year Ohio State.
