I wasn't expecting a win today, I didn't think we could score enough points.
But since the Oregon game, the D has been really good; I knew we could hold them below their average in points. I never dreamed we would hold them to ten points. I
Wink's side of the ball has improved a ton over the season. Considering that there was no Rod Moore for the season, no Will for most of the season, and a host of other injuries, what they did today is nothing short of remarkable. TEN points! That number will haunt Ryan Day for a long time.
On offense, they got the job done without Loveland and Dono. Davis didn't have his best game, and the two turnovers hurt, but this team pulled together. Once again, in the fourth quarter, when the game was on the line, the much-maligned O-line showed up. They began to move people, and Mullings did Mullings things. We had the ball for 13 minutes in the fourth quarter. Wow! Overall, we had the possession advantage 34-26 minutes. Double wow!
Zvada is $$. His two makes compared to OSU's two misses were the difference.
We beat the Buckeyes on the road for the second time in a row after not winning there for almost two decades. We did it missing, arguably, our four best players.
We out-coached, out-hit, out-executed, and outplayed them. This was a monster win for this program.
I will sleep well. Go Blue!
