Don't worry, micro ... your Buckeyes just might get another crack at them in the Big 10 championship game or in the playoffs.

It's amazing how a ONE POINT loss at a highly ranked team's house somehow means you are suddenly dropped way down from First even though you lost by ONE and were only favored to win by a couple at most.. That is how close those teams are.

I wonder what would happen if we played this game at Ohio Stadium? Likely Ohio State would win by a very small margin..

The one point game demonstrates just how close these two teams are.

I don't believe that if they meet again the outcome will be the same.. I think they surprised the Bucks with their speed and that was the determining outcome.

The Longhorns have yet to stumble but the season is still nowhere near over. A LOT can happen still.

We have to play more very good opposition in Penn State for instance. Indiana is very good this year as they have steadily been recruiting better players over the last five season.. They have a great and fairly new head coach with a better offense and defense. So they are a much improved team..

A long season to go yet and anything can happen.

That was a tough loss at Oregon but I think adjustments will take care of that next time they meet.

In the meantime, Go Horns!
