Bad night for Buckeye boosters

Boy, there's nothing like seeing your team get destroyed in a "marquee matchup" on national TV, is there? I don't think any of us expected Ohio State to win tonight, but we hoped they'd hang with USC. But they didn't. Not at all.

You can say, what would have happened if Brian Robiskie's touchdown reception hadn't been called back? I say Ohio State would probably have lost 35-10, if not 42-10 because the Trojans would have been playing hard a little bit longer.

You can say, what would have happened if Beanie Wells could have played? I say that would have made some difference, but I don't think you can attribute more than two touchdowns' difference, at most, to a single player. So it might have been 35-17. That wouldn't have been as embarrassing, but it would still have been a fairly lopsided loss.

USC is simply better. My team isn't national championship material this year. I can accept that.
