    Well, congratulations. Your team was more mature (Penalties). Your team was more prepared (Able to recover from 10-0 lead). Your team was stronger (Line of scrimmage).

    Your team wasn't faster. Sorry. There was no apparent speed difference. I hope that can be set to rest.

    It wasn't the spread. It was a pro-style offense run by Les Miles. And a darn good one, at that.

    Well, to put it simply, your team was just better than us in most facets. More maturity, more preparation, more strength.

    I have some of my own complaints about my own team, mainly my quarterbacks pocket presence. But, I honestly can't complain about what your team did. Very classy team out there. Didn't play dirty. (I dunno how anyone could try to end the career of a guy like Glenn Dorsey. Dirty Auburn players...).

    Anyway, congratulations. Enjoy your victory. Try not to rub it in, please.

    Much thanks, Nothing to be gained from rubbing it in. You guys played tough. As far as penalties are concerned the Tigers have had problems with that year. Good game!:thumb:

    The main things I saw were good defense in coverage and good domination of the line of scrimmage. As far as getting to the outside and burning Ohio State, that didn't happen. It was just efficient play on both sides of the ball for LSU. Speed had nothing to do with it. Equal speed, but better performance. LSU won on brains and smarts.

    But whatever. Meaningless point. Congrats on a great year. You guys were certainly the most entertaining team this year. Very gutsy coach.

    I appreciate the kind words from the Buckeye fans. Penalties was probably the biggest factor in the score, with some assistance from turnovers. That was the difference in the game.

    I was really concerned about our ability to dominate at the line considering the size of OSU. Thanks much.

    I didn't see a speed difference..

    It's hard to say we weren't quicker. JMO.

    The only call I could question tonight (late hit out of bound also).. was that PI on Jai Eugene that led to the late TD. He was the one being mauled imo. Didn't really effect the game.. so :wave:

    You'll be good next year.. I have to wonder how these last 2 years will effect you in the year to come. If it comes down to OSU vs an SEC team (UGA?) I think the SEC team will get the nod over you guys.

    Great game. Classy players on your part. I'm a huge JL fan. Such a beast linebacker.

    Nice to see good OSU fans.
    I'll take a win in a NC game anyday but I was a little disappointed because OSU players seemed to have lost composure, that was the difference in this game to me.

    Funny how close the yardage was in this game but how wide the scoring gap was, I guess turnovers and penalties will do that to you!
