The Buckeyes Fall in BCS Championship for Second Time in as Many Years
LSU Walks Away with 38-24 Win
LSU's first possession went no where, in fact they lost yards after a botched snap on 3rd down went all the way back to their own 5 yard line. Even after LSU punter Patrick Fisher netted a 62 yarder it left Ohio State in great field position at the OSU 41. A huge pass was completed to back up running back Brandon Saine for 44 yards and wound up giving the Buckeyes a field goal and a 10-0 lead. Tressel's Buckeyes started out the 2006 BCS Championship in quick fashion as well when former OSU wide out Ted Ginn Jr. ran the opening kick off back for a touchdown. Then it was all uphill after that when they couldn't get anything going on their way to a 41-14 disaster mostly blamed by fans as having to long of a layoff in between their final game and the BCS Championship.
Looking as though deja vu was happening all over again LSU scored on consecutive drives to tie the ball game up with 13:00 left in the 2nd quarter. Jitters seemed to play a major roll in the first quarter for the Tigers, but once they were set in their game plan it was smooth sailing the rest of the game. The Buckeyes did fire right back on their ensuing drive, but a 15 yard penalty nullified a huge chance to cash in for another score, instead it left OSU with a 37 yard field goal which wound up being blocked.
The only thing that was left was: LSU touchdown 17-10, LSU touchdown 24-10, halftime. LSU touchdown 31-10, Ohio State punt, LSU ball, interception by soon-to-be NFL draftee Malcolm Jenkins, touchdown Ohio State 31-17. Then of course the punch in the face with two minutes to go; LSU touchdown 38-17. You get the idea here as it was not what you wanted to see out of a BCS National Championship game to say the least. Congratulations to the LSU Tigers for becoming the 2008 National Champions after a ridiculously crazy season. After watching Monday night's game there is only one more question that needs to be answered to put an end to the 2007-2008 NCAA football season. Would LSU of won the National Title if there was a playoff in place?
Wait, did Ohio State just score with 1:13 left?
LSU 38 Ohio State 24

Post a CommentUncle Luck errrrr.....Tony is that you, lmao? Yep Frags I was standing up :) Uhm, don't tell me son though, errrrr he's a OSU fan.
But how much validity does another blow-out like this lend to the argument against the BCS and for a playoff system? Everyone that was questioning OSU's place in the game just stood up and said I told you so. Good job as always!
Stop beating a dead horse! Some of us fans would like to forget and get our hopes up for next year! That's when we'll break the curse...lol
lmao, Kim you are definitely my dose of laughter for the day! It was basically pointing out the game was over and lets talk about something else, then realizing in the middle of discussing something different they got a meaningless touchdown saying, "oh wait did Ohio State just score?" Hope it helps :)
I think so to Katy, I mean it didn't matter score wise, but prolly in the record books when some forget the game they will see that score and be like "well they did better" lol, then again maybe not.
Okay, I was following along very well and then lost all sense of direction (the last paragraph made my nose bleed)! :)
Good thing they scored at the last. Losing 17 to 38 would have been devastating even more so. I didn't even watch the game except for the last quarter. I was asleep.
