Speaking of which, did they ever show a replay including the game clock on the last slide? I don't think he got down in time, but that's the sort of thing that was worth a second look. Recall a similar situation was the play prior to the Kick Six.
No. He did not get down in time. It was not a first down so the clock wouldn’t stop when he goes down, which was with one second left. Not nearly enough time to communicate a time out.
I cant blame him for the loss.
If you would have told any knowledgeable CFB or Buckeye fan that He would go into that hostile environment and:
go 28/35 for 80% completion, 326 yards, 2 TDs, no picks, no fumbles and run for a TD,
you would certainly predict a big win.
Not only that, but given a challenge to drive them late for a winning FG attemp, he would get them to the Oregon 28, 1st and 10, 42 seconds left, and 1 timeout- you would say great job, especially in that environment.
