So please tell me were I'm wrong?
Did Joe Adams not drop 1, but 3 touchdowns?
Did #2 have a clear path to the endzone after the punt block?
Yeah, you expected it, because it was true.
You can also bring up many items that OSU did wrong in the 2nd half also that brought Arkansas back into the game.
You bring up the dropped passes but what about the injury's that OSU had to deal with that had a true freshman and a red shirted freshman guard some of Arkansas best receivers.
It's part of the game bud. OSU left some plays on the field too. The refs were miserable and called several key plays against OSU that could've easily determined the game. Sour puss fans can "what if" this game to death, but you know what? At the end of the day the one thing everyone can point to is this...
SCOREBOARD!
Well, it was a good game either way, and congrats to the Ohio State fans.
You guys have taken alot of crap over the years when it comes to the SEC and you deserve to enjoy this one.

It did turn out to be a good game. Exciting and nerve-racking at the same time!
Thanks Msmith! :up
Yep, they do. They also know they will lose the next 9 to the SEC before their train rolls around to town again, too.
You're right, I forgot about the vast conspiracy against Ohio State.
I got THAT memo too!!! LOL!
In all seriousness, it came down to Ohio State made the plays and Arkansas didn't. Plain and simple. And with ALL this talk about "you only beat the 5th best team in my conference" and yada, yada....in the end, the #6 ranked team beat the #8 ranked team. Period.

If by VAST, you mean this forum, then yes....
Hey Jimbo congrats to your Ohio State Buckeyes on one hell of a win. But I am still going to rag on you anyway with your 1-9 vs SEC bowl record I figure I can do it at least 20 years or so before you are able to bring it to even
Bottom line is OSU played championship quality football and Arkansas did not. OSU Has been there done that and knows the Pressure, Arkansas dropped the ball literally.
Congrats Buckeyes you celebrate your little moral victory, and we in the SEC will enjoy another BCS title
PS: SEC SEC SEC SEC
PSS: Good job buckeyes.

Cause it drives em nuts
Wow. Just wow.
1. Sooooo happy for Jim Tressel. Aside from the national championship game this must have been his most satisfying victory. You could see it on his face.
2. Fantastic game plan going in. They had the Arkansas D off balance the entire first half.
3. Two great BCS games in a row for Terrell Pryor. I'm his biggest critic, but he's winning me over. He's pretty much gotten over the 'jumps' when he's pressured. That was reserved last night for...
4. Ryan Mallett. Kid played a good game and his receivers did not help him out, but my goodness he panics quickly when he's forced to move his legs. And the Buckeye defense forced him to move his legs a LOT. Unlike Andrew Luck this kid is going to need some NFL seasoning before his major league arm is effective.
5. Ohio State made plays that Arkansas did not. Are you kidding me on that TD catch by Sanzenbacher? The ball went through his arms and hit his thighs and he still held on. Oh my. You want to win, you have to make plays like that.
6. Cameron Heyward was like Dr. Heckle and Mr. Jeckyl. He was either dominating like Dwight Freeney or non-existent by either doing nothing or being out of the game.
7. You could see the comeback writing on the wall halfway through the third. Arkansas had righted themselves a little bit from first half onslaught and now Buckeyes were going down one by one...especially on defense. Seemed like on every other play they were telling you about a Buckeye starter who was no longer in the game. Recipe for disaster.
8. I think I turned an ankle myself going into the kitchen for a snack. Hope the rest of you Buckeye fans stayed healthy!
9. Bad luck on the safety, but I think it was probably the right call in reference to the letter of the rulebook. If Boom had broken free from the initial hit that carried him halfway back in the endzone and run for a TD, Buckeye fans would not have wanted the ball spotted at the OSU two because forward progress was stopped. Still, breaking free for a nano-second when there are five more red shirts ready to immediately swallow you up for a safety doesn't seem to meet the spirit of the rule.
10. So now it's 31-23 and momentum is clearly wearing pig, and the punter shanks a free kick from the 20? What the heck? I was expecting to hear that he landed wrong on the punt and was another game casualty.
11. Huge...HUGE stop for the Buckeyes keeping the bacon bits out of the end zone and holding them to a field goal at that point. Everything was ready to crumble, and the Buckeye defense did not let it happen.
12. Fourth and one, Herron dives over for the first down, and he forgets to bring the ball with him? Seriously? At that point I thought the script was written and we were destined to never beat an SEC team.
13. Did the ball have a magnet in it on all those Arkansas punts that stopped inside the five? You gotta be kidding me.
14. Just some incredible plays on the last OSU drive, getting out from deep and eating up a lot of the clock. Earning the victory.
15. What kind of blocking was that on the punt? It looked like it was designed to let players up the middle so the line could get down to cover the punt, leaving it to the three guys in front of the punter to block them. And they didn't. Please change that for next year Jim.
16. Great defensive scheme on the INT. Mallett never saw the guy because he disguised it so well, lining up to rush then dropping back. And a great catch. It's all about making plays, baby.
17. Couldn't believe the INT. Just couldn't believe it. I was resigned to hoping they would keep them out of the end zone and then...INSTANT VICTORY!!!
18. How much confetti dropped anyway? Holy smokes Tressel almost turned into a red mountain during his interview.
19. Don't let anyone take this away from you Buckeye fans, trying to make you think Arkansas gave us the game and Ohio State had nothing to do with it. Woulda's, coulda's and shoulda's are for LOSERS! We've been on the other side waaaaaay to often, where our own mistakes cost us. This time WE made the plays. That's football.
20. At least if/when OSU ever plays an SEC team in the championship game again, this whole 'Ohio State never beat the SEC thing will be buried'.
21. After a rough New Year's Day, this was a GREAT night for the Big Ten!!!
