I sort of saw the game the same way Osuche did. I really never felt Michigan was going to win it once they got their initial blows in early in the game. It just sort of felt to me as if Ohio St. had it in hand pretty much all along. It wasn't that Big Blue was doing anything wrong, it just felt to me as if the Buckeyes were going to come out on top.

I'm all for a rematch on Jan. 8 though. This time around I'd prefer the tradional defensive battle that this series has provided over the years.

I haven't turned on ESPN this morning to see if they are hailing this one as one of the all time greatest games yet, I'm sure that's probably the case though. Can't say I feel that way. I can't put it up there with last season's Rose Bowl, the BCS title game between OSU and Miami (FL) or even the '93 Notre Dame/Florida St. game. I'd probably say it was the equivalent to the Michigan/Texas Rose Bowl game from a couple of years ago. Nothing wrong with being in that class though, still a pretty damn entertaining ballgame.
