Did OSU underestimate Miami? Or was this just a case of who wanted it more?
Anyway......what a day of football!!!  |
I don't think they underestimated Miami. I think they were unprepared for the pressure Miami brought.
The pick six and the missed field goal were the difference. The Defense held Miami to 17 points. That should have been enough to win the game. The first half was really strange to me. I told my cousin at halftime that the Buckeyes would come out and establish the run because the run game was missing in the first half.
The team that made less mistakes ended up winning. That's typically the case. Ultimately, the Buckeyes are a young team. A lot to look forward to next season with the returning talent and the incoming talent. Hopefully Sayin learned that sometimes he has to use his legs to make positive yardage plays and brings that to next season. And hopefully we can find a quality offensive coordinator that'll stick around a while. Last night seemed like a typical big game with Ryan Day calling the offense.
