Isn't it time that we moved beyond a numerical assessment of performance in sport?
Should we be able to think in some other more encompassing terms of how one team does against another?

Well either way my Buckeyes got their A** handed to them last night. Florida was everywhere at once. I have never seen any team as poorly prepared as OSU was last night (hint: Tebow is going to run the ball up the middle), that being said Florida's players and coaching staff clearly were better.

BUT our band was still better so THERE :P

2. Florida's offense was so bizarre-looking but OSU looked like
they'd never seen a tape of Fla play. It can't be THAT hard to prepare for the option, the veer, and Tebow running. I don't get it. :shrug:

But I'm not an Ohio State fan, so I enjoyed the game. :D

6. Wait until Meyer puts his full offense in
What you saw last night was the watered down version-he agreed not to try to impliment it until Leak was out of there (so as not to hurt his chances of playing in the pros). Meyer ran it at Utah and it is something to see--the option ran AT the line of scrimmage like two guys running off tackle with the option to pitch back to the RB.
