I see OSU getting their wake up call on Saturday, and find out that they are not that good.

How do you feel now?

It is interesting because I'm enjoying the win but frankly not feeling great.

I was hoping that tOSU would have a NC Contender this year and it doesn't look like it now. Realistically, NC Contenders shouldn't be in a close game with ND (at least not in the last ~30 years).

Did you play for Polk Senior High?

Well, I have no idea if they can reach the level of a national title contender.
But to go into that type of environment, against what appears to be a very excellent team ( maybe the best offensive line and QB they will see all year), with that starting at Qb for just the fourth time, says a lot about the team psychology.
to hold Notre Dame to 14 points in their own house on a Saturday night tells me that the Defense is amazing.  Our quarterback passed for more yards than theirs did. And we match them on yards per carry.
After the game in Jack, Sawyer mentioned that that was the most physical office of line he had ever played against

you know, their offense will improve as the season moves along and find more rhythm.
The only thing you can ask, is what I said before the season started.  I think they will be a tough out for any team. They play at any time.

So true. 

The last 2 seasons in which OSU won the NC, nobody on earth thought they were contenders after 4 games- or even 7-8 games.   And they weren’t. 

No. We were conference champions in a 4-way tie my senior year, defeating each team that tied for conference champion.

That was tongue in cheek reference to Al Bundy who had 4 TDs for Polk HS Panthers in a Championship Game

 I will say and still think Dallan Hayden would move the sticks where Trayanum/Williams had 7 carries for 13 yds.Not sure why the guy is back on the pine after spelling relief in a limited 3 game chance to shine last season. And like last season Xavier Johnson looked great with his limited shot and performed, 1 rec 40 yds.

 With that said McCord and the boys certainly looked rough but when they absolutely had to - sacked up and ground one out. He stayed cool when the heat was on - I'll take it.And I was ready to defy time/space/matter and reach into the TV set and strangle DAY for  running into a pile with Williams at the 1yd line then going for it in a scoreless tie with 7 min. left in the 2qtr. needed pts there. But it provided for a white knuckler later though

My main worry coming out of that game is the short yardage run game, which is again not reliable. It says something that they scored on the last play mostly because Notre Dame forgot to run out 11 guys (and it was still real close)
