Ohio State - Texas

I only saw the end of it, so I'll focus on one thing. After Zwick's fumble (with 2 minutes to go), if I remember the series correctly, Texas got a quick first down (down to about the 4). My immediate thought was for Ohio State to let Young walk in for a touchdown. Texas was up one, and there's no way Texas goes for 2 after the touchdown. Ohio State needed the ball with the most amount of time left. Give the touchdown up quickly, then use the minute and a half or so to put together a drive to go downfield and tie the game with a touchdown and 2 point conversion. Seems like at that point in the game it was like a high school game in overtime when the team on offense has the lead in penetration. Just give up the score so you get the ball back.

What did happen was exactly the best case scenario for Ohio State after that first down. And they got the ball back on the 1 yard line with about 25 seconds left needing to go about 70 yards for the winning field goal. Had they given up the score immediately, they'd have had a chance to return a kickoff (probably a squib) and go about 75 yards for the tying touchdown, but with just under two minutes and a timeout. Again, this is all from memory, so I might not have the timing exactly right. But I thought of it immediately at the time. Wondering if anyone else thought of this... And by the way, someone this week mentioned (unsure who) that Tressel is the best game day coach in the nation. Hmmm...
