The Bucks

Last nights game was much more competitive than I ever dreamed it could be. The OSU defense manned up big time. Unfortunately for me, I became the victim of yet another 2 minute TD drive to beat my team in a big game (Elway anyone?)

The final statistics show that Texas still threw for a ton of yards but it didn't feel that way watching the game. I also feel that losing Beanie Wells for the second half was absolutely a killer for us. He was tearing up the Texas defense and helping us to control the clock. "If's and but's", I know but still we hung in there a lot better than anyone expected. Hopefully this will start to repair the OSU reputation nationally.

Pryor looked good running but I really hope he works his tail off this off season on his passing. He HAS to be a reliable passer to get us to the next level and he just isn't right now. He is just a freshman but it was obvious last night that late in the game he was losing confidence in his arm and missed some passes badly.

I'm very happy that we didn't get worked, but a win would have been great. Hopefully we can take it to a depleted USC next fall and get things rolling again.
