How does this thread only have 2 pages of comments?
top 2 dogs in the conference have an epic battle, and we have 4 pages of RPO not RPO argument over in the SOC thread, but nothing (besides Median'a great post) here.

OSU's offense looked historically bad in that 1st half. I'm still in awe that the good guys pulled it off.
FWIW, I stole the concept from a post that @Brutus Buckeye made in the SoC thread.  In that thread it got lost in all the RPO/not RPO stuff.  I thought it was a good point.  
Just looking at it, it looks like prior to the PSU fumble tOSU had 3 first downs, >100 yards, and nothing resembling a decent drive while PSU had ~250 yards and four good drives.  That is a staggering difference statistically but PSU only led 13-0.  Based on those stats it should have been at least 20-0 and could easily have been 28-0.  
It seems to me that happens more frequently than it statistically should where one team dominates a half statistically but fails to get TD's and then loses because they don't dominate the second half the same way.
