Great game, but the better team lost

Cause that tight end couldn't catch a gutshot in the end zone. And the lost yardage before the field goal made the difference. The better team didn't win tonight, because you've gotta smell the blood and put the nail in the coffin when you have the chance. Congrats to Texas bettors.

The better team did win, Texas came in and beat OSU @ HOME. Maybe they OSU should stick to 1 QB... Go Vince!

Big Ten was exposed big time today that it is a lower tier conference this year....

don't worry about Texas, Mack will choke at some point in the year...

I agree that Mack will choke at some point this year. I'm really, really looking forward to the OU/Texas game as that is never a lock. OU looks like $*(# this year but that makes the Red River Shootout all the more interesting to me. I'm already very excited about that game (OU alumnus and life long OU football fan and I know my team stinks this year.) tulsa

Not much a losing team can say after getting beat. But Ohio St controlled the game after the first 10 minutes, and the breaks that Texas got they didn't deserve. I really feel like Ohio St is clearly the better team, but Texas should be given credit for taking the momentum from the missed field goal and marching down the field.

Vince Young is an amazing talent, he will win more games singlehandedly this year than anyone since Mike Vick. To get hit hard on so many plays and still have the ability to throw some nice passes including the game winner is a talent few really appreciate in this guy. Unlike Vick who usually gets tackled in the open field, Young gets in there and takes the punishment and bounces up from it.

I don't know if either team clearly showed they were the better team. Obviously tough to perform in Columbus so Texas deserves even more credit. Bottom line is you get only a few real challenges in your schedule and you have to find a way to win and the Horns did just that.

I guess you didn't see the Okla/Tulsa Game? If the big ten is weak? the big 12 is weaker.Texas is lucky they changed the BCS formula because they may not play another top 20 team the rest of the year.
