as really changing the direction of the game, presuming we might have started stopping OSU at some point.
1) Down 7-6, we had all the momentum. First down at the 50 after a OSU shank punt. We went three and out. Patterson missed a wide open safety valve receiver on first down. Would have gained 10-15 yards. Instead, he took a sack.
2) After cutting it to 21-19, a) we should have gone for one. You gave up a touch of momentum, plus you never chase points that early, and b) letting them drive to the one in a matter of seconds, even holding them to a FG blew all of our momentum there.
3) Down 27-19, Gentry was wide open for what would have put us very deep in OSU territory. Patterson’s throw was awful. In stride Gentry had at least 10-15 more yards. Even if it was just a fair pass, we have first down on their 40 down 8.
