They had their 6th string tailback in the game most of the 2nd half and a QB named Cardale Jones that I have never heard of. Exactly what more are they supposed to do? Take 3 knees and punt? Is that supposed to go over better with the opponent? The only reason Florida A&M was on their schedule was because Vanderbilt backed out of their scheduled game and they had to scramble to fill the empty slot in the schedule. I know there's a lot of anti-OSU mentality here, and I understand that, but sometimes you need to do more than just look at a final score and assume there was no sportsmanship involved.
How many passes did they throw after they were up by 35?? I can promise you that they could have controlled the score had they not been worried about losing a spot in the rankings.
Tried to kid yourself all you want. Maybe it will make you feel better.
So let me just get this right: no pass attempts when the game is in hand. Like when Vick was brought in during the 4th quarter of a game well in hand on Saturday? Because of course we had to keep Tyler in the game through three quarters even though Austin Peay was out of it. Yet Vick throws several pass attempts in the 4th quarter of a blowout. But that's OK.
"Kid yourself all you want." Wise words. It's typical from someone who glorifies a Hocking Tech student tackling the OSU mascot, though.
Big difference between 70-0 vs 38-0. Vick is our Back up and yes, backups need to get a bit of experience. 4th, 5th, 6th striing (as some posters mentioned) do not need the experience. I don't recall J.D. Sprauges (sp) throwing the ball.
So you're saying the 4th, 5th, and 6th string guys should not enter the game. So the 1st and 2nd stringers should stay in, and somehow stop running up the score, because that's the only way to win big with sportsmanship. Make up your mind man, you can't have it both ways. And the big difference between 70-0 and 38-0, I'm sorry to say, is the depth of talent beyond the 2nd string in Columbus vs here. Put a guy in the game who never sees the field and somehow you expect them to not try, to not score when they see the end zone, to take a knee and not run for 20 yards...did you ever play any form of organized athletics?
They got up big, they subbed heavily, they kept the ball on the ground...what more are they supposed to do? Get some players to trade jerseys and line up for FAMU in the 2nd half?
