<p>OSU played stifling defense in the second half. The turnovers were not due to our players being careless, but due to OSU’s excellent defensive play. I agree that our offense played way too conservative in the second half. What was up with all the running up the middle? Everybody knows OSU is excellent against the run and that our running game was weak this year. </p>
<p>Anyway, our losses this year were at #1 Notre Dame (by 7 points), vs #2 in Dallas, at #4 OSU (by 5 points) and at #12 Nebraska (Denard went down in the second quarter). We probably had one of the toughest schedules this year.</p>
