The herd mentality with them is gross.  They should be embarrassed.

And then Day, after saying he was going to be aggressive, being aggressive for 59 minutes, only to clam up and settle for a long FG.....what are you doing?!?
By that time in  the game he had lost the starting RBs,TE,WRs.He either hail mary's it or take a chance @ FG,both long shots.Based on two H2h hits he didn't think he could get a call. But with the receivers he had left it was a coin flip

I was going to make the same point. I'll add a few things:

Ohio State was down to a third-string, true freshman RB. You might think that doesn't matter in a two-minute drill or even ask why run then? My answer is that running is easier to learn than the other parts of being a RB like picking up a blitz. How much do you trust your true freshman RB to make the right read and pick off the extra blitzer if UGA brings the heat?

If Ohio State's offense had JSN, Marv Harrison, and Trayveon Henderson available then I'd agree with @OrangeAfroMan completely but with Dallen Hayden as the #1 RB and Egbuka as the #1 WR, I can't argue with the decision to try to pick up a few yards and kick a long FG.

Well i think Hayden would do it he impressed me as solid any time he got a chance. Also leave Xavier in there he'd certainly pick up some oncoming

I disagree with the premise that he was going for a field goal. He said afterwards he ran the running play because they were in man free and if you crack the line of scrimmage it’s a free ride to the end zone. On second down and third down he actually dropped back to pass but Georgia brought an all house blitz on both and CJ Stroud could not afford a mistake so he tried a relatively safe pass on second down that got broken up and was forced to throw it out of bounds on third down. Day was not playing for a field goal in any way, shape or form.  Without Harrison and the Tight end Stover, and neither of the two good pass blocking RBs available- he didn’t get anyone  open with all the blitzes coming.  Day did try though.

I'll believe you - all of that is fair, except the last part.  If they're blitzing, someone's open.  Hence the risk of blitzing.

I mean, technically Purdue was the Big Ten runner up, right?  And LSU blasted them.  Weird they didn't also include that

all this really tells me....is the B12 fuggin SUCKS and Mich/Jeem are pathetic for blowing a game vs TCU- a team they should've taken apart. Embarassing af....not sure they'll ever be able to live that loss down.

Purdue also lost it's entire coaching staff and had all the good players on it's team sit so....not saying they'd have beaten LSU with a coaching staff and their top players- but they wouldn't have been clowned so badly....

Something is wrong with this. Ohio State scored 41 on UGA and KSU, TCU, Clemson scored more than seven between them.

Maybe the math actually works if you replace UGA/tOSU with LSU/PU.

Meh..  hyperbole. 

SEC was .500 in their bowl games. 

Their best team had to hold on to their cheeks, hope for a missed FG, to sneak out a win against the 2nd best team in the BIG, in their home city, and their opponent was at 3/4 strength at best.
