Keep Your Head Up Buckeyes

It was a fine run, but we met our match last night. No excuses about a 51 day layover, even though it was the longest in NCAA Football history. No excuses about Ted Ginn being hurt for the entire game, even though he was their number one player all season long. I wont make any of them for OSU because they had a great season, but on this night they were simply out coached and out played. The Gators wanted it more and they went out and took it. They did to OSU what OSU did to Miami. They punched them in the mouth and took their candy.
Don't feel sorry for the Buckeyes. They will return to this place with in the next 5 years because they are Ohio State. They will get the best recruits year in and year out, and parents all around the country will line up to send their kids to the coach that loves to rock the sweater vest. A program like the Buckeyes never rebuilds. They only reload! A mere bump in the road.
This will be the last we see of Troy Smith. I just don't see him making a splash in the NFL at his size. I know it's been done before with Doug Flutie, but even he stuggled in the NFL with his size. If anything he will be slot receiver or a perennial back up quarterback. I don't see any team giving him a chance to start.
No excuses for the Buckeyes, even though the layoff of 51 days, and losing their star player for 3 quaters gave them no shot to win that game! I won't make any excuses.
