my observations were:
1) ohio state's defense did not even show up, i saw some of the shittiest, most non-aggressive, middle school level base defensive play ever. no one wanted to make a play on the ball, everyone was backed up 10+ yds on their receivers, no blitzes whatsoever. horrible horrible defensive plan.
2) troy smith, be it heisman hangover or whatever, did not want this game the same way vince young wanted it. he didn't look comfortable in the pocket yet did his damndest to be a pocket passer instead of take off down some open lanes. just didn't have that "it" that young showed last yr, the big play potential, the will to win.
3) gators played one hell of a defense on both sides of the ball, mixing up coverages on defense and giving ohio state looks on offense it had never seen before. the # of yds by all the receivers should show u how well they spread the ball around. and oh yeah, leak played about as solid of a game as u can, finding open receivers, getting rid of the ball in time, etc etc. 100% deserved that mvp![]()
