Ok
Last year Ohio St. was in a similar situation, only not playing against a home team like LSU will be tonight. Except Ohio St. was the favorite. Enter the BCS game last year, and WHAM BAM and it was over Ohio St. was looking like a deer in headlights. Florida crowned. Fast forward, if you had a strong stomach to watch that game last night you would have learned about Jim Tressel (who I see as the best college coach in the country, sorry JoePa I am a big Penn State fan) Tressel pointed out how differently this team prepared this year then last year. Firstly they practiced more leading up to this year. But what I also found fascinating was that he told the kids they were suspended if they did not return to post Christmas camp 5 pounds lighter then when they left. The reason he knows why he got beat last year. SPEED. They got beat because they had none last season. With the exception of Virginia Tech was any win very impressive.
